Chief Judge Pro Tem

ABOUT

Demonstrate to him that you’re a good person who simply made a bad mistake.

Chief Judge

James A. Plakas

ABOUT

Judge Plakas is an even-keeled, straight-shooter; he calls it like he sees it. He is fair and just. Don’t bring excuses into his courtroom and be prepared to show that you’re not going to be a continuing liability for the court. Actions speak louder than words.

Free Advice
Provide Judge Plakas with a solution instead of  an explanation for what you did. “You screwed up, so what’s it going to take for you to learn?” Be convincing.  

District Judge

Ronald W. Lowe

ABOUT

Judge Lowe has a reputation for being a “tough” judge, and he can be; but his contributions to the 35th District Court over the nearly 20 years he’s served as District Judge have been immense. He is an advocate for the public, as reflected in his role in the formation of the Domestic Violence Program, Teen Court, Citizen Surveys, Victim’s Impact Panel, and the community service work-detail program, among others.

Free Advice
 “There’s a way to do things, and there’s a way not to do things.”   No one gets dessert before dinner in Judge Lowe’s courtroom. If you want to stay out of jail, or keep your criminal record clean, do the work and earn the reward.
