WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT MORRISA SCHECHTMAN

 

“I have had the pleasure of appearing before Morrisa Schechtman in her capacity as the pro tem Discovery Commissioner for the Family Court. She not only is extremely knowledgeable of the law, but her “courtroom demeanor” is superb. While being tough in insisting that all litigants properly comply with the Court Rules and applicable legal authority, she treats every person who appears before her with the utmost respect. She will make an excellent district court judge, and all families in Clark County are lucky she has chosen to serve in the Family Court Division.”
Robert P. Dickerson, Esq

“I have known Morrisa Schechtman for over 10 years, and in my opinion she possesses all of the attributes necessary to fulfill the role of a family court judge. I have worked with her on several divorce cases both as an adversary and as co-counsel. And, I have appeared before her on numerous occasions in her capacity as family court discovery commissioner. She is diligent, prepared, forthright and knowledgeable. Morrisa takes her responsibilities very seriously and genuinely cares about rendering thoughtful and fair decisions. She is not afraid to make tough calls, which is a breath of fresh air. Morrisa Schechtman will make an outstanding judge, who I unreservedly support in the election for Family Court Department J.”
Kirby R. Wells, Esq.

“I have been an attorney for almost 18 years and the vast majority of my work involves litigation. I have appeared in front of many judges and commissioners. Over the last several years, I have appeared many times before Morrisa Schechtman and she has impressed me with the job she has done. She is a bright spot in the Family Court because of her demonstrated preparation for each hearing I have had before her. When I have appeared before her, it is has been obvious to me that she took the time to read the briefs filed by the parties and to make sure she understood the applicable law before making her rulings. Time after time, she has demonstrated her ability to apply the law in a thoughtful and appropriate manner to the facts before her and to do so consistently from case to case and in an even-handed manner without showing any favoritism or bias for or against the parties or attorneys that appear in front of her. If you are prepared for your hearing, you will get a fair, reasoned decision out of Morrisa Schechtman. You couldn't ask for anything more than what Morrisa Schechtman brings to the bench.” 
Damon A. Schuetze, Esq.

"Morrisa has been my divorce and post-divorce attorney for several years, and she has guided me through the Family Court system. Morrisa has always been truthful and up-front with me about my case. She is highly ethical, and that is an important quality to have in a lawyer. In very stressful times, I want a lawyer that I can trust, has experience, I feel confident in, and that has compassion. These are also qualities I would want in a Judge, and I know Morrisa would make an excellent Judge.
Good Luck to you, Morrisa!" 
Robin Stekkinger 

“Morrisa Schechtman will be a welcome addition to the Family Court. She has a proven track record as a Hearing Master presiding in domestic hearings. She runs her courtroom efficiently, she knows the law, and she applies the law fairly and predictably, which will assure that litigants and their children receive timely justice without incurring excessive attorneys' fees.” 
Michele LoBello, Esq.  

 

“I have appeared before Commissioner Schechtman regularly over the past six (6) years. Commissioner Schechtman is always well prepared. When she walks into the courtroom, she understands the facts of the case and the issues at hand. Not only is Commissioner Schechtman well versed in the law, she also has a good understanding of the dynamics of domestic cases. In my opinion, the two most important qualities she has are (1) her ability to remain completely unbiased regardless of how well she knows, likes, or dislikes the attorneys or litigants appearing before her and, (2) her no nonsense approach to resolving disputes. Commissioner Schechtman will be a tremendous asset to the Family Court Bench.” 
Jennifer V. Abrams, Esq.
