I am running for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Denton County. With over 20 years as a litigation consultant, I am confident that I can serve the people of Denton with common sense, integrity and fairness.

The justice of the peace presides over the justice court, often referred to as People's Court, in these types of cases:

* misdemeanors

* small civil disputes

* landlord/tenant disputes

* small claims under $20,000

They also have the honor to perform marriage ceremonies, for all!

“A justice of the peace is a well-informed citizen, though he is not necessarily versed in the knowledge of the laws,” “His office simply obliges him to execute the police regulations of society; a task in which good sense and integrity are of more avail than legal science.”

--Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political scientist who studied the early 19th-century United States.
