Judge Annette M. Rizzo
Judge Annette M. Rizzo will be interviewed by the national media in connection with the ground-breaking foreclosure diversion program she heads in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
The Philadelphia court program is viewed across the country as an effective tool in resolving foreclosure cases before Sheriff Sale. She is expected to be interviewed by Katie Couric this week, and by Brian Williams next week. The program is staffed with volunteer attorneys drawn from the Philadelphia Bar Association who assist homeowners in resolving mortgage defaults through modification agreements.
Judge Rizzo is shown here addressing the Justinian Society on October 1, 2008, when she was presented with the Judge Lisa A. Richette Outstanding Woman in the Law Award.
