Albert Einstein is quoted as saying "The only source of knowledge is experience." I am the most experienced candidate for this race.
My family moved us to Las Vegas 50 years ago in 1970. I went to junior and high school here, I joined the Boy Scouts and attained the rank of Eagle Scout.
I moved out of state for college and law school. After graduating law school, I moved to Las Vegas in 1984. I was first hired by Michael Cherry as a law clerk. After a few months, I was presented with the opportunity to be a law clerk for Judge Miriam Shearing, where I clerked for over a year.
It was while working for Judge Shearing I learned just how difficult the job of judge was and the burdens of being a judge. I also realized that I wanted to be a judge. I also knew that it took extensive experience to do the job correctly
I've been practicing law, all in Clark County, for 36 years. In those 36 years, I have:
Over 10,000 hours of time in the court room I've appeared before over 100 judges I've handled over 100 trials I"ve handled over 300 appeals My appeals have resulted in 19 cases become law in Nevada I have been a court appointed arbitrator for over 25 years I have had my own law practice for 23 years
This extensive experience sets me apart from the other candidates for this office. I have practiced law twice as long as any of the other candidates- I am the most experienced candidate for this department
- I am hard working, fair and honest
- My court room will be accessible to all persons
I also admire Michael Cherry, who first hired me, and went on to be a District Court Judge and a Supreme Court Justice.
Fairness
Honesty
I was 9 years old in 1968 and I do remember the assassinations of Martin Luther King and a few months later, the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
