Qualified, Compassionate, and Dedicated


Very often, when you or a family member has to engage with the probate courts, it’s in a moment of crisis. In those difficult times, you need help from a qualified, compassionate, and dedicated official to guide them through the choppy legal waters. I am pleased to say that Attorney Jeannine Lewis is that guiding light for families and individuals and I strongly support her candidacy for judge of probate for the Saybrook Probate Court.

I would consider Attorney Lewis both an inspiration and a mentor. I’m currently in my second year of law school at Quinnipiac and I had the privilege of meeting Attorney Lewis at a town event a few weeks ago. We discussed the arduous adventure of law school and she provided me with some kind words and solid advice to help guide me through the challenges that law school brings while working full-time and planning a wedding. She listened carefully and provided such thoughtful insight.

Her ability to listen with patience and grace is a trait and skill she would bring to the probate court. In addition to her incredible people skills, she possesses the experience and knowledge to serve those before the court honorably and professionally. As one of the co-authors of a seminal text in the area of court-appointed attorneys in the courts of probates, coupled with her years of experience as a practicing probate attorney, there is no one more qualified than Attorney Lewis.

Our towns deserve an elected official that has honor, integrity, dignity, and true experience and knowledge. I encourage your readers to join me in electing such an official, the next judge of probate, Jeannine Lewis.
