Moving quickly to cover the full slate of DUI, traffic, domestic violence and other criminal misdemeanors on the town prosecution calendar, the Payson Town Council approved a contract with the Law Office of Mark Iacovino with six votes to one abstention on Jan. 14.
When Mary Bystricky gave her notice to move to the Gila County Attorneyâs Office effective Jan. 19, town contract attorney Justin Pierce knew he had to make sure prosecutorial services continued.
âThis was an amazing opportunity for her,â said Pierce. âThat said, we need to have everything in place . to continue prosecution work uninterrupted.â
Iacovino has served as a contract town attorney for the cities of Fountain Hills, Cave Creek, Carefree, Avondale and El Mirage.
