She probably wasn't familiar with how New York State Civil Procedure goes. And I'll doubt "ineffective council" will be able to move the needle much. He failed to provide a coherent defense. Civil trial is about preponderance of any evidence, so the burden is on the defendant to rebut the plaintiff's claims. He and his team failed to make any substantive claims so he got hit with a default judgment this is now only about assessing damages.
