After graduating from Marquette Law School with honors and various academic awards, I spent years litigating cases. In 1996, I left a partnership position to accept a position as the litigation counsel for an agency of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Meanwhile, I also served for fourteen years as a Municipal Prosecutor, and prosecuted literally thousands of ordinance violations. My legal experience will benefit Verona. Verona 's municipal court meets once or twice each month.
Many cases relate to traffic tickets.
Others involve non-criminal shoplifting and disorderly conduct. Juvenile vandalism, truancy, underage drinking and curfew violations have become a larger part of the caseload. The city receives a portion of each forfeiture imposed. Decision-making by a firm but fair, experienced resident advances Verona ' s ability to maintain community values. Violations committed here should be heard here.
