I have served the People of Westchester County, NY as a Westchester County Court Judge and Assistant District Attorney for over 15 years. I subscribe to the philosophy that a judge must be fair and impartial in their everyday dealings with those who appear in their court. I treat all litigants with respect and give each of them the opportunity to have their voices heard. I hope to continue to serve the People of the Ninth Judicial District in the same manner going forward.

I have been a Judge on the New York State Supreme Court since 2013. I am dedicated to the fair and equal treatment of all persons in my court. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect and giving each person a true opportunity to be heard. I do my best to apply the law fairly and correctly and to provide an explanation for my rulings. Before election to the State Supreme Court in 2012, I spent 18 years as Court Attorney to a judge and 10 years as an attorney in private practice.

I’ve represented thousands of clients in complex legal matters that have a profound impact on their lives. I’ve also spent more than 20 years in public service as a Rockland County Legislator, including 5 years as Chair. These roles have required me to listen carefully, weigh competing arguments, make difficult decisions and work with people of differing perspectives. I would bring that combination of experience, public service sound judgment and respect for the law to the Supreme Court bench.
