I have practiced law for 29 years, twice as long as the combined legal experience of my opponents (5 and 9 years respectively). I am seeking this position for two very important reasons. I have the qualifications and experience to competently handles the cases that will come before me. I also believe that one should be elected as judge to culminate a long and successful legal career. I believe I have earned the right to ask for your support.

Regarding criminal hearings in County Court-at-Law Number 2, I have made 642 appearances in that court.

Regarding juvenile matters, I am the only candidate who has prosecuted and defended juvenile offenders.
4. What experience have you had dealing with condemnations or eminent domain cases?
As a whole, the main focus of law for County Court-at-Law Number 2 is criminal law. Approximately 95% of the court's docket is solely related to criminal matters. I do not have experience in either condemnation or eminent domain cases.
