As a prosecutor, I strive to seek justice, respond with compassion, uphold victims’ rights, and advocate for those who cannot do so for themselves. As judge, I promise to use my experience as a trial attorney to assure that everyone in my courtroom is afforded a fair opportunity to be heard and treated with respect. I promise to follow the law and abide by the PA and U.S. Constitutions.
