We are local attorneys who represent clients in the Oxford County Probate Court and we urge residents to vote in the Republican primary on June 14 for Ted Dilworth as probate court judge.

Dilworth is an experienced and able lawyer who has been a past president of the Oxford County Trial Lawyers Association and a former governor of the Maine State Bar Association. He has demonstrated knowledge of the law, having practiced for more than 20 years in Oxford County and having participated in more than 1,000 cases. He needs no on-the-job training; he will be ready to work on Day 1.

Good judging often requires a common sense mixture of compassion, empathy and justice. We can think of no better person than Ted Dilworth to perform that critical job.
