MEETJUDGE FAITH

You may know Faith from her extensive legal analysis of the nation’s most high profile cases on Fox News, CNN, HLN & MSNBC.

Now Faith will bring her tough love, no-nonsense style approach, and analysis to her own courtroom, in her own show, Judge Faith.

Faith has traveled many walks of life, and fought adversity every step of the way. Born and raised in Louisiana, her first job out of law school was in New York City. As a litigator at Sidley Austin – one of the most prestigious law firms in the country – she helped represent numerous high-profile clients in a diverse array of complex, commercial litigation matters.

After five years as a Wall Street litigator, Faith joined the Manhattan District Attorney’s office as a criminal prosecutor. As a prosecutor, Faith worked on hundreds of criminal cases, including indicting and prosecuting a multitude of violent crimes. Faith became known among her colleagues, judges, jurors, and court staff as a tough, but fair trial attorney. After the Manhattan DA’s Office, Faith transitioned back into private practice with a New York litigation firm specializing in resolving business disputes, white-collar defense and government investigations, as well as other civil and criminal matters.
