1. Senator Suzi Oppenheimer stated on the floor of the New York State Senate at the confirmation of Judge Devlin for the County Court: "And I'd like to join in the congratulations of soon-to-be Judge Devlin. He lives in my Senate District.

"And I was also very moved and pleased by the association that you have with the mentally ill children and the Clearview School.

"And from everything I read, your background as far as the guardianship work you've done, the work you've done has certainly propared you for this judgeship. And I wish you well."

2. Milton Hoffman of the Journal News called "Judge Charles Devlin, one of the most knowledgeable persons in the court system."

3. Gerald Stern, former chair of the Commission on Judicial Conduct wrote in a letter to the editor of the Journal News that "[Charlie Devlin is a] highly qualified and outstanding jurist who has demonstrated integrity, intelligence, knowledge of the law, excellent temperament, a strong work ethic and sensitivity . . . I believe it would be virtually impossible to find a detractor among the county's lawyers who have appeared before him or worked with him in his 27 years of service in the courts."

4. Journal News endorsed Judge Devlin for election in 2005 and 2006, citing in both years his "superior credentials."

5. NYS Supreme Court Officers Association in a letter, dated August 20, 2007, wrote to Judge Devlin: "You have earned an excellent reputation as an attorney and judicial appointee for over 30 years in the court system; you also have gained the respect from all the court officers you work with which makes you an excellent candidate for this position."

6. Hon. Muriel Hubsher (Sup Ct. Ret.), in a letter to the editor of the Journal News, dated August 30, 2007, wrote: "When I was assigned to Article 81 matters (Guaridanship cases) I had Charlie Devlin--my encyclopedia on the law in that area, billiant, personable with wonderful common sense and heart, to advise and guide me and all of the judges so assigned. Charlie Devlin is and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have met in my long career in law. The community of Westchester is indeed fortunate to be able to re-elect a Judge of his high caliber."

7. Hon Samuel Fredman (Sup. Ct. Ret.) calls Judge Devlin "one of the finest judges" in the courthouse.
