Dear Voters of Richland County,

During my 3 terms as Probate Judge for Richland County, I have come to truly understand how critical this court’s work is to all of us. Daily, my office works on Will and Estate matters, commitment and treatment of the mentally ill and chemically dependent, care and management of the elderly, and a variety of other immensely personal issues to the citizens of our county.

I take the responsibility of providing these services very seriously, day in and day out, in a kind and fair manner. Managing these responsibilities is made more difficult by the shrinking budgets for government services. Often, we experience frustration with the delay of government or government’s response to our needs. I and my staff know the importance of the services we provide to you and we dedicate ourselves to doing so in a way that is professional, comforting, timely and user friendly. I am honored to have been your Probate Judge for the last 11 years.

Thank you in advance for your help and your support that will allow us to continue the job we are committed to, a Probate Court you deserve.

Sincerely,
