Hari Singh knew he wanted to be a lawyer from around the age of six but even though this dream became a reality years later, it took him moving to the US to get what he called a “baptism by fire” in court experience which shaped the trajectory of his career to where he is today.
In February, Singh became one of ten judges appointed to the bench by New York City Mayor Eric Adams and one of the first two South Asian judges to be appointed to the New York City Family Court.
He has been appointed to the family court, an area in which he has much experience as he worked in the New York City Administration for Children’s Services as a team leader. For the last seven years, he served with the New York State Unified Court System as a senior court attorney and, most recently, as principal court attorney to the supervising judge of Queens County Family Court.
