This information is provided by the candidate

I want to help ensure the administration of justice. To accomplish this, it is important to have a judge who has extensive courtroom experience, a diversity of legal experiences, good judicial temperament and the willingness to efficiently and effectively address all matters that come before the court. I have all of these attributes.

I am an experienced trial attorney. I have litigated over 100 jury trials, hundreds of bench trials and numerous administrative hearings in both the public and private sector in civil and criminal proceedings. I began my career as an Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia. I next litigated white collar criminal defense cases. As Senior Counsel at Wisler Pearlstine, LLP, I currently represent private clients, as well as public sector entities including school districts, municipalities and the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts.

In addition to my private civil practice at Wisler Pearlstine, I was an adjunct law professor for more than a decade and have been an instructor for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy since 1998.

In addition to my work as an attorney and professor, I have been very involved in my community. From 2004-2008, I served as an Abington Township Commissioner and I am involved with numerous political, civic and educational organizations. I also served as counsel to the Shapiro/Richards Transition Team. Based on my extensive courtroom experience, as well as the diversity of my legal practice, I am uniquely prepared and qualified to be a Common Pleas Court Judge in Montgomery County.
