The Eighteenth Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance voted 8 to 0 that she meets performance standards, with one member absent and one vacancy on the commission. Attorneys and non-attorneys who answered its surveys, "although low in response numbers, overall found no performance issues in any evaluation criteria."

The commission writes that she "was described as professional, kind, courteous, fair and respectful to all parties who appear before her" and that she "is consistently prepared for court and maintains objectivity when listening to and considering arguments from both sides." The commission reports that jurors "commented on her patience and fairness". The commission adds: "While a few commented about Judge Apostoli’s legal knowledge, the Commission concluded Judge Apostoli’s knowledge base is well above average".
