As an office holder, it is a privilege to have the title of Prothonotary, Clerk of Courts and Orphan Court serving the citizens of Lawrence County. I take pride in recent office improvements such as
the latest technological acquisitions utilizing optical imaging systems, as well as on-line access of office records for the public, attorneys and Judges.
These improvements deliver more expedient and enhanced services at a much lower cost to the public.
The Office of the Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts is a challenging job requiring constant
attention to laws and the needs of citizens for which I am truly honored to serve.
My staff and I will continue to find new ways to serve the public in a more efficient and cost effective manner.
