District Court Judges - DISTRICT COURT JUDGE, DEPARTMENT NO. 3 · Clark County

I am proud to have served the people of Clark County for the past 5 years as a District Court judge. I currently serve as the assistant presiding judge and also oversee the Veterans Therapeutic Court program. Prior to being appointed to the bench, I was in public service for 16 years as a deputy prosecutor. As an attorney, I handled some of the most serious cases in the criminal justice system including aggravated murder and child abuse. I also had the opportunity to argue many cases at the Washington Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. As a judge, I know that each case is important to the people involved and the community as a whole. To that end, I always seek to be thoughtful, patient, and respectful to everyone. When making decisions, I am guided by the law, the facts of the case, and the Constitution. I am committed to improving our local court system and enjoy working with my fellow judges and others to do so. The courts are essential to ensure public safety, uphold the rule of law, and peacefully resolve civil disputes. I am honored by the opportunity to continue to serve in this role.
