To the Editor:

Conservatorship, estates, trusts, adoptions are just some of the things that go through the Judge of Probate's office. Did you notice the only happy one was adoption? Most people don't realize what the Judge of Probate does, other than wills.

Newtown, up until the merge of probate courts, was blessed with probate judges that served in their office. They did not have separate law offices to take up their time, they were devoted to the people of Newtown. Sharon Wicks Dornfeld plans on being there as well.

Sharon plans on sitting around the conference table and listening to the needs of the people that need her help. She is a kind, compassionate, highly qualified attorney that specializes in probate. She wants nothing more than to help. When you are faced with the loss of a loved one, or having to take over the rights of a loved one due to age or disability, it is traumatic. I know I would rather meet with someone full of compassion and willing to listen. That is why I will be casting my vote for Sharon Wicks Dornfeld on November 8. Please join me so we can put the Probate Court back to what we are used to.

Sincerely,

Sara Frampton
