Legal Experience

Said, “My judicial philosophy is to apply the law to the specific facts of each and every individual case with impartiality and equity and without agenda.”

Said, “it is imperative that all parties, regardless of income, representation, or other factors be given notice and the opportunity of a full and fair hearing on a level playing field.  It is the courts’ responsibility to ensure that those opportunities are provided.”
