Biography

Martinotti was born in 1961 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1983 from Fordham University. He received a Juris Doctor, cum laude, in 1986 from Seton Hall University School of Law. He began his legal career by serving as a law clerk to Judge Roger M. Kahn of the New Jersey Tax Court.

During his tenure on the state bench, he was assigned to preside over the special environmental, affordable housing and family law dockets.
