My experience is defined by consistent, hands-on practice in Las Vegas Municipal Court, where the demands include: high-volume dockets, self-represented litigants, rapid decision-making, and the steady application of the law across hundreds of cases. I haven’t stepped into this environment occasionally — I’ve worked within it daily, navigating the pace, workflow, and pressure that define this court.
That immersion has shaped how I understand judicial discretion in real time. I’ve seen how a single ruling can affect case flow, victims, defendants, law enforcement, and working families trying to return to their jobs. The challenge of this bench isn’t simply knowing the law — it’s applying it consistently, calmly, and fairly while keeping the docket moving and protecting due process.
Municipal Court experience is not measured only by years practiced or titles held. It’s measured by frequency, familiarity, and readiness. It’s knowing how to manage a crowded calendar without sacrificing fairness, how to treat self-represented litigants with respect while maintaining neutrality, how to evaluate the needs of defendants and divert them to a specialty court for treatment when warranted, and how to make sound rulings under pressure.
I’ve built credibility in these courtrooms and earned the respect of current and retired judges, prosecutors, members of the defense bar, and community partners. That trust matters. It reflects professionalism, preparation, and integrity.
Municipal Court is often the public’s most direct interaction with the justice system. When it operates efficiently and predictably, it strengthens public confidence and supports the safety and stability of our city. I am committed to putting the needs of our community first, ensuring that justice is not just a concept, but a reality for every person who appears before the court. My experience, dedication to public service, and commitment to fairness prepare me to serve effectively from day one.
