Letter: Ramunno on Ramunno

Posted by ChaddsFordLive on May 12, 2017

I have resided in Pennsbury Township with my husband and three children for 17 years. I have 35 years of legal experience. After high school, I worked in various legal jobs including as a paralegal while going to school at night. I have been an attorney for 23 years admitted to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. As a sole practitioner in, Media I have a very diverse practice, but I mostly practice criminal defense representing both adults and juveniles. So I am in all district courts on a regular basis.

If elected I will be a full-time judge and no longer practice law to concentrate on the needs of the court, I will conduct a "night court" for working people and I will limit continuances to avoid delay and backlog with cases.

Most importantly, I will be committed to protecting the future of our youth. Young people make mistakes and I do not want to see it affect the rest of their lives. Instead, I will offer alternative means to redirect them and hold them accountable for their actions. I will also provide education to our young people and their parents concerning the consequences of violating certain laws. I know with my 20+ years of juvenile court and criminal experience that I can have a huge impact on our youth.

Finally, by my office being in Delaware County and not in the community there is a very small chance that I would have to recuse myself in any case due to prior representation, business dealings or involvement in other activities in the community. Consequently, I will be fair, impartial and be able to preside over cases without having to recuse myself from hearing a case due to knowing a party or a witness in a case.
