Behind the Robe: How Judge Rachel Amy Adams Turned Kings County Matrimonial Court into a Grant-Funded Machine of Corruption by
@elievans_untold
In a quiet corner of Brooklynâs legal machinery, a web of nepotism, financial entanglements, and judicial abuse took root, hiding in plain sight disguised as public service. At the center of this judicial storm sits Rachel Amy Adams, a NYS Supreme Court judge whose career, docket, and household finances intersect in ways that make even the most hardened political operatives blush.
Whatâs happening in her courtroom isnât just a story about favoritism or bias, itâs a case study in how federal grant money, divorce litigation, and insider privilege converge, creating a closed-loop system of manufactured outcomes & financial rewards.
Matrimonial DV cases are supposed to be about protection & equity. In Brooklyn, theyâre high-stakes funding streams for
@ShalomTask.
On paper, STF is a nonprofit legal advocate for victims. In reality, theyâre a litigation juggernaut with an astonishing, and highly suspicious, 99% success rate before Rachel Adams.
@SafeHorizon receives tens of millions in federal & state grant funding. Theyâre not just recipients; they distribute to hand-picked subrecipients, like STF.

Who oversaw finances and subrecipient allocations during STFs funding bonanza? Greg J. Brooks, Safe Horizonâs CFAOâhusband to Rachel Adams.
@OIGatHHS @HHSGov
Per public records and tax filings, STFs funding surged soon after Brooks became CFAO. Coincidentally, Adamsâ docket filled up with STF cases.
Nearly every matrimonial case in Brooklyn where STF appears, Adams is assigned. The only exceptionâ1 case before Jeffrey Sunshineâappears to be a decoy, masking a manipulated docket designed to keep STFs caseload before Rachel Adams.

Itâs not kismet. Itâs a deliberate, concealed judicialâadministrative collusion, where the judgeâs household financially benefits from her rulings, and federal funding decisions are rewarded w/ favorable judicial outcomes. Itâs a closed system: Brooks approves the money, Adams delivers the rulings, and STF secures the stats to renew their grants.
When Brooks left Safe Horizon, STFs grant stream fizzled.
Grant-based litigation requires performance metrics to justify renewal and expansion. When nearly every one of your cases is assigned to a judge married to your funder, and all those cases end in your favor, it raises not just ethical concerns, but serious legal questions.

Families are collateral damage. Litigants, particularly fathers, are bankrupted, criminalized, and litigated into submission by a grant-funded juggernaut that never loses.
@DVAgainstMen
Adamsâ past adds fuel to the fire.
She law clerked for 2 convicted, disgraced judges: Gerald Garson, who went to prison for taking bribes in exchange for favorable divorce rulings; Victor Barron, convicted of soliciting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to approve personal injury settlements.

As families bleed financially and emotionally under her rulings, Adams secured her own interests, borrowing $125K against her campaign fund to cover personal expenses while campaigning.

There are fundamental questions:
đĽIs Adams presiding in cases with direct financial & ethical conflicts?
đĽDid Brooksâ Safe Horizon favor subrecipient grantees that yielded judicial payback?
đĽWere vulnerable families pawned in a rigged system designed to generate statistics for funding renewals?
We deserve transparency, accountability, & the end of judge-funded nonprofit litigation collusion.
Judges should never rule on cases that directly benefit her household; STF cannot dominate courtrooms with financial leverage behind the scenes.
This isnât advocacy. Itâs a racket. Itâs time to shut it down.
