Joshua Cittadino Secures $1.2 Million Jury Verdict

Sanvenero & Cittadino, LLC is proud to announce that partner Joshua Cittadino has secured a $1.2 million jury verdict on behalf of his client in a civil case involving claims of defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. This result was a true team effort, and Josh was joined in court by his colleagues Bill Jeffery and Nick Malta, whose hard work and dedication throughout the case were essential to the outcome. Together, they delivered a meaningful result for a client who trusted our firm to stand up for their name, their privacy, and their peace of mind.
A Result Built on Preparation and Persistence
Cases involving damage to a person’s reputation and private life are deeply personal. They often leave clients feeling exposed and uncertain about whether anyone will take their harm seriously. Josh approached this matter the way our firm approaches every case: by first listening closely to the client’s story, then building a clear, compelling presentation for the jury.
Bringing a civil matter all the way to verdict takes careful preparation, a command of the facts, and the confidence to advocate in the courtroom. This outcome reflects Josh’s commitment to doing the work that complex litigation demands and his willingness to see a case through when that is what a client needs.
