Reasons for seeking the position

By Susan Laker Tolbert

I am offering the efficient and fair resolution of cases.

Early in my legal career I represented clients in domestic relations court. More recently I have handled appeals from decisions in that court. I believe I can take all this experience and utilize it on the bench to efficiently resolve disputes.

I have worked hard all my life and believe this has prepared me well for this challenge. I worked my way through the University of Cincinnati, undergraduate and law school, and graduated with honors. Immediately prior to law school I went through my own divorce, and attended law school full time as a single parent. I am currently married, have three children and I have been an active community volunteer.

I believe that people who bring their divorces and dissolutions to domestic relations court are going through the most difficult time in their lives. I can relate to this. These people deserve to be treated with respect, and have their disputes resolved timely, efficiently, and fairly. That is what I offer the voters of Hamilton County.
