Collapse all
|- Superior Court is the only court of universal jurisdiction in our State System; its judges must have both criminal and civil experience. I have served as a pro tem Judge for over 7 years, presiding over civil and criminal matters, jury trials, and therapeutic courts. I have presided over the most common matters facing Superior Court Judges: presiding over and administrating criminal and civil jury trials make up the bulk of this work. I am rated Exceptionally Well Qualified because of my broad experience as a judicial officer.
- Superior Court is the highest level jury trial court, and its Judges preside over the most serious criminal matters in our State. As a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, I protected our community, protected the rights of defendants, and uplifted the voices of victims. The bulk of my prosecutorial career was spent prosecuting the most heinous felonies, including sex trafficking, sexual assault, crimes against children, and murder. I tried over 100 cases to juries, tried the most cases in the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office two years in a row, and was named Prosecutor of the Year in 2017.
- Civil Jury Trials are primarily addressed in Superior Court. I have litigated serious, high-dollar real estate, employment, anti-discrimination, construction, and other suits in Superior Court to great success.
