For more than 27 years, I have dedicated my career to serving Mahoning County families — as a prosecutor, defense attorney, assistant law director, and community advocate.
I've seen our justice system from every angle. I've worked alongside families navigating the most difficult moments of their lives. And I've never lost sight of the fact that behind every case is a real family.
A Career of Service to Mahoning County
I serve as the defense attorney coordinator for Mahoning County Drug Court, working alongside Judge John M. Durkin to help participants find treatment, rebuild their lives, and reunite with their families. I volunteer at the Domestic Relations self-help clinic, assisting families who can't afford counsel with divorces, custody, and support matters.
My work has always centered on dignity, fairness, and genuine compassion for families — values I will bring to the Domestic Relations bench.
Every family that comes before this court deserves to be heard with dignity — and to have a judge who understands what they're going through.
