She was also respected among her colleagues for her intelligence and adroit manner in preparing a case for prosecution.
Unlike her predecessor, Borgia often agreed with the decisions of her superiors and followed their directions regardless of her own views. She did, however, share many parallels with Abbie Carmichael, including the latter's conservatism and cooperation with the police in developing cases.

While her career in law was ephemeral, she had a professional manner, balancing compassion for victims with adherence to legal rules and procedure. Compassion is a profound human Emotion prompted by the pain of others This was evident in her dealings with the mother of a victim of faulty influenza vaccine in her premiere episode, "Fluency. A vaccine is a biological preparation which is used to establish or improve immunity to a particular disease " During the episode, the prosecution decided to drop the case among the numerous charges against the defendant, as it was too weak to use. As a result, Borgia impulsively promised the mother that the defendant would be severely punished in compensation. Although McCoy fulfilled that promise by arranging multiple consecutive sentences resulting in over a century in prison for the criminal, he asked Borgia to never again make similar promises. This compassion also helped her to get close to victims' families, as demonstrated in "Obsession" when the victim's son said that one of his hobbies was going fishing with his late father; Borgia said that she has similar experiences with her own father growing up. She was also highly respectful and polite in her dealings with colleagues. Simultaneously, she was never afraid to engage in heated byplay with defendants and convicts alike to ensure a successful prosecution. In the episode "In God We Trust," Borgia indicated her devout Catholicism was a factor in her belief in the religious transformation of a defendant and in arguing with her superiors, she also highlighted her belief in a Christian ideal of forgiveness. As a Christian Ecclesiastical term Catholic —from the Greek adjective, meaning "general" or "universal"—is described A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth
