What areas of the law do you have experience in, as a judge or attorney?

Criminal and family law.

What is your judicial philosophy?

All laws should be applied equally and fairly to every person that comes to court. People want to know that judges will patiently listen to both sides before rendering a decision.

Becoming board certified in State Criminal Law.

What is one of the biggest issues facing the judicial branch in NC and what should be done to address it?

In my opinion it would be the resources needed to address the influx of cases that are burdening the system. Having more money allocated to support the judicial branch as the population continues to grow would go a long way with addressing the problem.
