Candidate for
Prosecutor; County of Hamilton

I am a candidate for the elected office of Hamilton County Prosecutor. I am the owner and managing partner of Trotter Law, LLC, where I provide various legal services and handle a wide range of civil and criminal matters. I earned my Juris Doctor from the Salmon P. Chase College of Law and my Bachelor of Arts degree from The Ohio State University. Raised in Forest Park, I graduated from Winton Woods High School.

Before opening my law practice, I began my legal career as an assistant prosecuting attorney with the City of Cincinnati Prosecutor's Office. As part of my duties, I also served as one of the environmental attorneys for the City. Prior to becoming a small business owner, I also worked as an associate attorney for a law firm, where I practiced both civil and criminal litigation. I honed my legal skills serving as lead counsel litigating juvenile court, misdemeanor and felony criminal cases, and litigating civil matters in both state and federal court. I have always been an active participant in the community, volunteering as a member of the Cincinnati Zoo Young Ambassador Council and as Parliamentarian for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter. Amongst other various posts, I have most notably been a member of the Dress for Success of Cincinnati Board of Directors, a member of the Cincinnati Zoo Planned Giving Committee, and Vice-President of the Black Lawyers Association of Cincinnati.

I have been recognized as a "Wise Woman" by the One Hundred Wise Women Program and as an emerging leader by Applause Magazine. In 2010, I received an appointment from Governor Strickland to serve on the Hamilton County Municipal Court Vacancy Selection Committee.
