Spring Valley Village Court Justice Jacques Michel, who is not an attorney, resigned effective June 5 because his felony record disqualified him from being a judge. Michel had been convicted of federal immigration fraud charges trying to help Haitian nationals become U.S. citizens, according to his attorney, Jeffrey Millman of Phillips & Millman in Stony Point.
Millman said his client, a reverend and former Rockland County deputy sheriff, “would have been a positive influence as a justice in Spring Valley … but we respect the laws of the state of New York.”
