For twenty-two years I have protected and defended the rights of our citizens of Ohio and Cuyahoga County. Working for injured persons as a plaintiff's attorney and a Civil Rights and Constitutional defense attorney, I have ensured that persons of all walks of life received fair treatment in court by holding negligent persons and the government accountable to the standards required by law. 

After witnessing the increasing infringement of our rights, particularly over the past three years, it became apparent to me that I could no longer watch the injustices in our system continue.  I have also grown tired of repeat violent offenders being released into our community only to commit more violent crimes and terrorize our neighborhoods. I realized that I can be more effective and do more to promote an equal system of justice and safeguard our community from the bench.
