Experience

Counsel for The Hon. Arizona State Senator Albert Hale in elections case that sought to invalidate signatures of hundreds of registered voters who listed post office box numbers as their addresses on Hale's candidate nomination petitions. Many of the petition signers lived in rural areas of the Navajo Reservation and did not have residential addresses. The Arizona Supreme Court upheld trial court's ruling that Apache County properly counted the signatures of those people who listed P.O. boxes, which gave Hale a sufficient number of signatures to qualify for the ballot. 218 Ariz. 561, 190 P.3d 175  (2008)
