Judge Joseph G. Owen: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Joseph G. Owen (Ret.) was a justice of the Orange County Supreme Court in the Ninth Judicial District of New York. He joined the Supreme Court in 1994. Owen retired in 2009.


His judicial career began in 1974 when he became a town justice for the Town of Wallkill. He remained on its bench until joining the Orange County Surrogate’s Court in 1985.


Owen received a J.D. at Fordham University School of Law.


Prior to joining the bench, he was a sole practitioner at his own law firm, which he started in 1963. Owen also served as a town attorney for the Town of Wallkill. In 1969, he gained local notoriety when, as the town attorney, he imposed water, sewage, and bond regulations on mass gatherings, ultimately disrupting a concert planned near the town. As a result, the concert promoters were forced to relocate the event to an alfalfa field in Bethel, New York. The event became known as Woodstock.


Owen received the John S. McBride Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015.


After retiring from the bench, he returned to private practice, where he practiced alongside his son Joe Owen at the Owen Law Firm and served as of counsel at his son Patrick’s law firm, Patrick S. Owen PLLC.


Owen was born in Chester, New York, the son of Lebanese immigrants.
