Our Mission
A message from the Judge of the Fairfield County Juvenile & Probate Courts.
To serve the citizens of Fairfield County by insuring the safety of local youth and the community, to provide a fair and impartial arena for disputes, to aid families in crisis and to assist youth in maintaining risk-free behavior and completing their education to become a healthy, productive member of our community.
My position as Judge of the Fairfield County Juvenile and Probate Courts is unique in that I serve as both Judge and Clerk of the Court. In both capacities, my staff and I are committed to providing a fair and impartial administration of justice, as well as prompt, courteous and efficient service to the public. I hope you find our website helpful and your experience with our Courts satisfactory.
