We observed several cases. She was very patient in explaining the law to those who had no lawyers. She treated both sides very respectfully in each case-- no matter what the situation. She had a very professional, yet compassionate attitude toward everyone that came before her. We felt she ruled fairly on several difficult cases. Afterward, she came down from the bench and spoke to our girls in simple, understandable terms about the judicial process. She is very knowledgable and extemely well-educated and qualified for the job of Justice of the Peace.

I’ve known her for several years and I have always found her to be a person of integrity and common sense. These attributes in combination with her education and experience make her uniquely qualified for the position of JP. I have confidence that she would perform the duties of this position with clarity, conviction, and adherence to the highest standards; and trust that she is more interested in doing what’s right instead of “playing politics”.
