Socorro began her judicial career as a judge for the Civil Court of the City of New York in Bronx County, a position to which she was elected in 2016.

After graduating from law school, Codelia appointed her as a named partner at his firm in 2004. Five years later, she became the sole proprietor and principal managing attorney of the firm. In 2016, just prior to her election to the bench, Socorro became the managing attorney at Socorro & Associates. Over the course of her legal career, Socorro specialized in providing services as a Guardian or Guardian Ad Litem and as a Court Evaluator within Article 17-A or Article 81 of the Mental Hygiene Law.
