Candidate for
Judge; Court of Common Pleas; 6 Year Term Starting 1/04/09; Democratic Party

I am a long time resident of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. I bring 25 years of practice experience to the bench. I want voters to know that my practice philosophy has been to provide excellent representation to my clients. My starting point has been to know the practice area and then to advocate zealously for my clients' interest. However, I am always mindful that I am a servant of the court.

I started practice as a small firm practitioner. Subsequently, I spent four years at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals as a Staff Attorney and Law Clerk. I have significant legal experience as an Attorney Guardian Ad Litem, as a director of a law clinic and as an Assistant Hamilton County Public Defender. I have tried hundred of cases and I know the rules governing the courts of Ohio. I currently practice as a solo practioner.

I have always been willing to devote my time,talent and resources to non-profit organizations whose missions were to improve the quality of life for people in Greater Cincinnati.
