Every person who walks into a courtroom deserves to be treated with dignity, impartiality, and respect—no matter their background, income, or past. Justice should never depend on who you are, but on the law.

With a background as both a federal criminal defense attorney and a prosecutor, I’ve seen the courtroom from every angle. That well-rounded experience ensures I understand the law—and the lives it affects.

Trust begins with honesty. I will apply the law faithfully, without political influence, favoritism, or personal bias—always guided by ethics, not ego.

Our courts don’t exist in isolation. As a Superior Court Judge, I’ll never forget the broader impact of my decisions on families, neighborhoods, and the values we share.

Trust grows when people can see the process. I believe in a judicial system that is open, understandable, and accountable to the people it serves.

Judges must uphold the law—but also understand the human beings behind each case. Compassion is not weakness; it is a strength that makes justice more complete.
