Some suggest that the increase in crime that we have experienced is simply similar to what is being faced by other small communities in Pennsylvania – as if we should take comfort in the fact that this is all somehow inevitable or beyond our control.

I will not accept that. I refuse to believe or accept that an increase in crime or a decrease in public safety is ever acceptable, ever inevitable or ever beyond our control.

Our future is what we make it.

As an attorney in private practice I have demanded passion, commitment and the highest quality work from myself and those who work for me. As District Attorney I will insist on nothing less.

The District Attorney’s Office must maintain excellence in prosecution.

I have heard police officers wonder out loud why it seems that all of the good lawyers are on the other side. Police, victims and the public should rest assured that some of the very best lawyers are also on their side.

As District Attorney it will be my mission to serve the residents of Lycoming County by seeking truth, protecting the innocent, holding the guilty accountable, preserving the dignity of victims and their families, and ensuring justice while always maintaining the highest ethical standards.
