As a judicial officer of the Superior Court, Commissioner Stockdale Coleman has demonstrated a commitment to access to justice and treats those who appear before her with respect and fairness.”

“I highly recommend Commissioner Stockdale Coleman who was our Commissioner in Napa. While in Napa, she proved herself to be a fair and competent member of the bench. She was always well prepared in both her knowledge of the law and the case in front of her. She handled participants respectfully but controlled her courtroom - this is not always easy in family court. Sacramento would be lucky to have her as a Superior Court Judge.”
