Rating:9.6
Comments:
Top flight judge. I had the pleasure of trying a very contentious high exposure case with Judge Sciortino. She was exceedingly measured and fair when rendering evidentiary rulings, and on motions pre-trial. She did not shoot from the hip when making rulings..sought case law to back up her decisions. One of the best jurists I have encountered in my thirty years of practicing law.

Her Honor handled settlement negotiations involving an infant in a sensitive case. She conducted herself with the highest professionalism and truly cared about my infant client. Before issuing a compromise order she reviewed structured settlements all in an effort to maximize my clients income from the settlement. Excellent judge who truly cares
