I have been practicing law for nearly two decades and have been admitted to the bars of three states and 10 federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court.

As a seasoned appellate attorney, I understand that each case that reaches the Court of Appeals is an extremely important event in the lives of the people involved. The Court of Appeals is the last real opportunity that most people have to be heard in our courts. I believe that every person who comes before the Court should be treated with fairness and respect.

Judges should base their decisions on the law and not let their personal viewpoints influence their decisions. Moreover, cases should be decided on their merits rather than on procedural technicalities. The people of North Carolina expect and deserve hard work, experience, integrity, and respect from their appellate judges.  I would be honored to receive your vote for the N.C. Court of Appeals.
