A woman casts her vote in the Nov. 7, 1944, election. |
I am a concerned voter and family law attorney who practiced in the city and county courts as a litigator for 15 years. I am now at home with my son, doing part-time law work.
It is almost impossible to really judge the two current candidates unless you have had the opportunity to either litigate cases against them or sit in court and watch them litigate their own cases.
It requires experience, poise, a mastery of strategy, and above all else, a mastery of a specific practice area of the law to be an effective litigator.
Fredericksburg Commonwealth's Attorney LaBravia Jenkins has those years of experience, specifically as a prosecutor. This job requires experience, good trial skills, and strategy.
I have seen both candidates litigate cases; I can say as an observer and a lawyer that LaBravia Jenkins is by far the more highly skilled litigator.
She employs strategy that only experienced litigators have the finesse to know when to employ. She employs trial skills that only with experience do you know when to use.
She employs poise that only an experienced prosecutor has the comfort level to employ at the right time in a case.
These are skills that only experience can teach.
LaBravia Jenkins has all the skills to make me feel safe. We have a prosecutor who can handle her job, no question.
