Age (optional)
55
Over 14 years of experience as a Judicial official has prepared me to return to the Peoples Court. I have served in every possible courtroom in the Mecklenburg County Courthouse as a District Court and Superior Court Judge.
Politics should never play a role in your decision making as a Judicial official. Democracy and protecting the rights of individuals and upholding the Constitution are the platforms that will play a part in my work.
Extensive experience. I am a certified Juvenile Judge, presided over family law matters for two years and criminal law for over 25 years.
I look forward to serving the Mecklenburg County community once again.
