Judge Coleman Dismisses Challenge to Tomasella Will

Following a seven day bench trial, Superior Court Judge Edward M. Coleman dismissed a challenge to the last will and testament of Joseph Tomasella.

The claim had been filed on behalf of the decedent's adult daughter who, along with her brother, had been disinherited by Tomasella in favor of his second wife, Mary Lou Tomasella.  Strong arguments by Mary Lou's attorney, Martin Newmark (Of Counsel to the firm of Porzio Bromberg & Newman), supported evidence of Joseph's sound judgment and Mary Lou's rightful inheritance.
