Justice Woman Productions presents Vanessa Verduga as SofĂa Escala, a.k.a. Justice Woman, spunky Assistant D.A. by day, defender of truth and justice by night, who with the help of her officemate and sidekick Robert (Roberta) Gallion fights to right the wrongs committed against the innocent and powerless by a corrupt legal system — and gets herself into some tight spots along the way. Co-starring Lee J. Kaplan as Robert Gallion, this smart, funny, fast-paced series tackles serious issues of corruption in our legal system with a large dose of campy humor. Think “Wonder Woman” meets “Law & Order” meets “Will & Grace” meets “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.”
JW to RG in car after stakeout: “How can you sleep knowing Jesus Lopez
is being deprived of his freedom without due process of law?”
RG: “I’m way too beautiful to die young.”
Created, written, produced and directed by Vanessa Verduga, Justice Woman was inspired by Verduga’s own experiences as a lawyer and lifelong love of performing. A fan of Wonder Woman and Batman, she created Justice Woman guided by her commitment to exposing injustice and by her favorite words of wisdom from Oscar Wilde: “If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you.”
Verduga shares credits for Justice Woman with a multicultural team that includes actors Lino Del Core (Rufus Leichin), Juanito Jaramillo (Omar Gonzalez) and Nina Rochelle (Mama Escala) and crew members Lino Del Core (in a dual role as Associate Producer), Joao Paulo Garcia (Second Unit Director of Photography), Carlos Raul Peralta (Lighting Technician).
Justice Woman will premiere on October 4 to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) and mark Verduga’s birthday.
