Inspired

I have been interested in the qualities of well-respected judges since before I became an attorney. I have worked with a variety of judges in order to observe their choices and have candid conversations with them about the decision-making process. 

​

My great-grandfather was a Sheboygan County judge who served and possessed "all of the qualities a lawyer hopes to find in a judge...intelligence, impartiality, fairness and dignity."*  I will embody those qualities as your municipal judge.

*Sheboygan County Bar Resolution in 1963.
