(1) List your judicial experience (courts and years):<\/strong>
\nN\/A<\/p>\n

(2) What about your non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a<\/strong>
\njudge?<\/strong>
\nI have been an attorney for nearly 20 years in public service working for
\nthe Montgomery County Prosecutor\u2019s Office. During that time, I have
\nheld a variety of positions within the Criminal Division including
\nSupervising Attorney of the Child Abuse Bureau, where I solely
\nprosecuted child physical and sexual abuse cases. From there, I was
\npromoted to Supervising Attorney of the Intake Division, where I
\noversaw attorneys handling Preliminary Hearings, as well as Grand
\nJury Hearings. I was then promoted to Trial Supervisor, where I
\nsupervised numerous attorneys assigned to criminal dockets. This
\nposition included training new attorneys, managing criminal dockets
\nand handling numerous jury trials.
\nFrom there, I was promoted to my current position of Chief of the Civil
\nDivision, supervising a staff of over fifteen employees. This position
\nincludes representing all County Elected Officials, County
\nDepartments and Agencies, personnel matters for thousands of
\nemployees, contract review, negotiation and drafting, as well as
\ndefending all civil litigation cases brought against Montgomery County
\nin both state and federal courts. The Civil Division of the Prosecutor\u2019s
\nOffice is the law firm for Montgomery County, handling all legal related
\nmatters that face the County. I have handled every kind of criminal case
\nimaginable from felony five possession of drugs to child abuse, rape,
\nfelonious assault, aggravated burglary, murder and capital murder.
\nFurther, in my role as Chief of the Civil Division, I have overseen the
\ndefense of the County against numerous lawsuits, including defending
\nthe Sheriff\u2019s Office and Sheriff\u2019s Office employees in State and Federal
\nCourt, some of which involve Section 1983 claims. Just this year, I
\nsuccessfully defended the County in a Federal Jury trial, wherein the
\njury found that the plaintiff\u2019s constitutional rights had not been
\nviolated. I have also negotiated complex contracts, handled real estate
\nmatters, as well as a wide-variety of environmental issues, to name just
\na few. The breadth of the civil litigation and other civil related matters I
\nhave handled provides me a wealth of experience. Suffice it to say, the
\nvariety of civil issues that face a county the size of Montgomery
\nCounty, are challenging, complex and varied on a daily basis. The
\nexperience I gained over the last 20 years involves precisely the kind of
\ncriminal and civil matters that the Common Pleas Court regularly
\nhandles, thereby making me uniquely well-qualified for this position.<\/p>\n

(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?<\/strong>
\nI am running for this Judicial seat because the vast majority of my
\nexperience has been in the Common Pleas Court. As a result, I have
\ngained great respect for this position and feel that my extensive
\ncriminal and civil experience makes me especially qualified for this seat.
\nOver the years, I have had the opportunity to be involved in numerous
\nbench and jury trials in front of many different Common Pleas Court
\nJudges and therefore have first-hand experience in various judicial
\nstyles. I will take the best qualities of these judges, combined with my
\nown unique qualifications and experiences, and my \u00d7rm ability to be
\nfair, professional and respectful, to the bench and apply the same for
\nbetterment of the judiciary and the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
