Szambelan an excellent judge

We have practiced law in Spokane for over 65 years between the two of us. During that time, we have dealt with hundreds of lawyers and dozens of judges and employed many associate attorneys. We are well aware of the variation of quality among attorneys and judges.

This year we have the opportunity to retain an excellent lawyer and judge in Judge Shelley Szambelan for Position 10 of the Spokane County Superior Court. As a young attorney Judge Szambelan worked for our firm as an associate attorney. We are more than familiar with the quality of her work. It is of extraordinarily high quality. She is one of the brightest, most insightful and efficient attorneys we’ve encountered. She took those attributes with her to the city prosecutor’s office, and the various levels of the bench where she has gained years of judicial experience. Governor Inslee recognized Judge Szambelan’s ability when he appointed her over many other candidates for the Spokane County Superior Court.

Please join us in voting for Judge Szambelan. Good judges are important to our community and we don’t often have a judge as extraordinary as Judge Szambelan.
