My Decision to Run for Croton Village Justice

By Lisa Marlow Wolland

After graduating from Cornell University and St. John's University School of Law, I served as an Assistant District Attorney in Queens County, NY from 1993 until 1997, handling a variety of criminal matters, including domestic violence and special victims cases. I was appointed to the Appellate Division, Second Department, as a court attorney, analyzing and briefing criminal and civil cases for the appellate justices from 1997 until 1999. Since then, I have been a practicing appellate attorney, concentrating on criminal law appeals. And, in 2005, I was named of counsel to Mischel & Horn, P.C.

I believe my broad experience in the law, serving as a prosecuting attorney, a defense attorney, and a court attorney, allows me to understand the entire judicial process from every viewpoint. Moreover, because I maintain my office exclusively in Croton, I am always available for any court matters that may arise, including criminal arraignments, and warrants.

As your Village Justice, I promise that I will treat all parties with respect, I will give you an opportunity to be heard, and I will apply the law to the facts of each case in a fair and judicious manner. I will be honest, ethical and fair.

I am very proud to be a resident of Croton, and I want to serve this community. Because my husband, Glen, and I chose to raise our 3 children here, I have a vested, long-term interest in our village.
