This information is provided by the candidate

Experience is extremely important in elections for Judicial seats. My experience is extensive. For 24 years, I have tried cases before juries in civil and criminal courts. I have represented people in both state and federal courts. I have represented people who were injured, fired, harassed at work, had a family member who was killed or died, who were accused of crimes or were going through divorce or bankruptcy. I have helped people become citizens, and those who were denied their civil rights. My clientele consists of persons from all races, religions and nationalities. I currently serve as a judicial officer in small claims matters in Superior Court.

I believe that the family should be the core of society and where education should begin. I believe in the rights of all people to have access to courts without regard to their socioeconomic status. I believe our right to vote is one of our greatest rights and duties.

As a parent, I have consistently been involved in my children's education and encouraged my children to become successful and contributing adults. I have actively participated in my community and contributed many hours of my legal expertise to others at no cost.
