A Letter to the Editor…
“Trial experience in courtrooms prepares a patient person to be a good judge. Richard Andrew Keever is a good man who has proven that he deserves your vote to serve as a Forsyth County District Court Judge.
Before law school, Mr. Keever was a probation officer who supervised criminal offenders.After passing the Bar, he worked on civil cases at a local firm. As a veteran assistant public defender, Andrew now represents clients in the different courtrooms where criminal, traffic, and juvenile cases are heard.
Perhaps the most difficult and emotional trials involve children, and Andrew is well-equipped to hear them. District Court Judges decide child custody disputes between parents. Judges also determine what to do when a teenager has committed a crime. In Juvenile Court, Andrew has ably represented hundreds of children. With other leaders appointed by our County Commissioners, he serves ably on our Juvenile Crime Prevention Council; he coached soccer teams for years. Andrew and his wife Meg share a strong faith and have raised three wonderful children.
A good judge treats each person with respect, listens carefully to the evidence, and applies the law fairly. Over 39 years in criminal and civil courtrooms of our county, it was my privilege to stand before many wise judges. Andrew Keever possesses the skills and experience to be such a judge. Please vote for him.”
