Victims: we assign a victim advocate to each case so the victim has a direct contact with our office for any question, concerns or problems they have. Defendants: we strive to move a case forward in a timely fashion. We hold offenders accountable with compassion and empathy. Treatment courts: our job is not only to put people in jail but provide treatment when warranted.
I bring some unique qualifications to the office. I worked for over 20 years as a police officer in uniform, as a detective, a homicide investigator, a sergeant and a narcotics unit supervisor. I then spent over 20 years as a criminal defense attorney and eight years as a municipal judge and judicial instructor. This gives me a perspective from both sides of the law.
