Let's build an efficient, caring and safe family court together.
Joni for Judge!
Family court is a place of big emotions and big decisions. The presiding Judge has a responsibility to set the tone for the families and counsel in their courtroom, which can dramatically effect the trajectory for the family and children involved.
The position of family court judge requires consistent patience, courtesy, tact, courage, firmness, understanding, compassion, common sense and timely orders. Joni Bottorff will accept nothing less than thoughtful discernment and timely resolution for the families of Oldham, Henry and Trimble Counties.
