Biography

The Hon. Kathy G. Bergmann is a justice on the Suffolk County Supreme Court in the 10th Judicial District of New York. She was elected to the bench on November 3, 2020.

Prior to her election, Bergmann was a judge on the Suffolk County Family Court, a position to which she was elected in 2016. Before that, she spent time as a principal law clerk to the Hon. Stephen J. Lynch of the New York State Court of Claims (2013 to 2016).

Bergmann earned a B.A. from the State University of New York at Oswego (1978) and an M.A. in public administration from C.W. Post College (1981). She worked as a grants administrator for Suffolk County Community College (1979 to 1981) and as an academic advisor and adjunct professor at C.W.

She was licensed to practice in New York (1989).

After graduating from law school, Bergmann began her legal career as an assistant county attorney with the Suffolk County Attorney’s Office. She served in that capacity until 1990, at which time she opened her own private practice as a sole practitioner. Her practice encompassed real estate, domestic relations, matrimonial, contract, negligence, and estate planning matters.

Her memberships have included the Suffolk County Women’s Bar Association, the Suffolk County Bar Association, and the Women’s Bar Association of New York.
