West Monroe deserves a City Court Judge ready to serve from day one on the bench.
A judge’s work is important. City Court decisions affect people, families, businesses,
and the community. Those decisions require more than good intentions. They require
real courtroom experience, careful preparation, sound judgment, and a commitment to
treat every person with respect.

West Monroe City Court Judge. His experience as a prosecutor, magistrate, attorney,
and educator has prepared him for the responsibilities of the office.

requires thorough preparation, keen attention to the facts, solid understanding of the
law, and the ability to listen carefully before reaching a decision.
A judge must be fair and independent, applying the law faithfully and making decisions
based on the facts presented. It is essential to treat everyone who enters the courtroom
with dignity. Brian's experience has prepared him to fulfill these important
responsibilities.
