Improve technology for virtual hearings and evidence presentations; increased use of alternative courts for substance-use disorder and mental health diagnosis; increase efficiency to hear cases in a timely manner.
I believe I am honest, fair and impartial in making my decisions. I believe I listen carefully to all parties and attorneys and complete any research necessary prior to making any rulings. I think it is extremely important to have a judge who listens and makes sure all sides are given an opportunity to be heard.
