With 13 years of real courtroom experience trying both criminal and civil cases, I believe I am ready to take on this important responsibility. My diverse background in business and law has helped me develop the necessary knowledge, temperament, and high ethical standards needed to serve as a Circuit Court Judge.

As an attorney, I have represented plaintiffs and defendants; debtors and creditors; buyers and sellers; husbands and wives; landlords and tenants; the rich and the poor; the accused and the abused. I am fully aware of the concerns of those who come in contact with the legal system.

With your support, I believe that I can improve the administration of justice and make a difference in the lives of the people of Cook County. If elected, I pledge to work hard and treat all parties with respect. I pledge to make prompt rulings and avoid unreasonable delays. I pledge to balance empathy and strength with even temperament and sound legal reasoning.

My philosophy is simple: listen to people, be impartial, and make firm decisions based on the law.

I look forward to serving you as a Cook County Circuit Court Judge.
