About Christine

Christine Edwards fell in love with the law while working as a legal secretary. She earned her Juris Doctorate, graduating with honors in 2012. Since then, she has used her talents to help individuals and families caught up in our court system. She is especially proud of her work to free her uncle from a 30 year incarceration. Christine has learned that she is happiest practicing the law on the front lines of the courtroom. It is this love of the law and the courtroom that inspires her to be your County Court Judge.
