As many of you might know, The Hon. Stanley D. Williams has dutifully served Franklin County as Judge of Division 7 for more than 25 years. Judge Williams is an amazing person and an amazing judge. Judge Williams decided to retire and, as such, Judge of Division 7 was up for election in August’s primary.
To be a judge has been a life-long dream of our managing partner, Mark Brinkmann. So, when Mr. Brinkmann heard the news of Judge Williams’ retirement, Mr. Brinkmann decided to run for the judgeship.
Running for a county-wide election takes a lot of time and effort on the candidate, the candidate’s family, and the candidate’s supporters. Mr. Brinkmann worked tirelessly over the last few months and somehow managed to remain a good husband to Kelly, a good dad to his three kids, a good lawyer for his clients, and a good business partner to his firm.
We are pleased to announce that on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, Mr. Brinkmann won the primary contest for Franklin County Associate Circuit Judge, Division 7.
There are few people who can fill the spot so well-maintained by Judge Williams for so many years. We are confident, however, that Mr. Brinkmann is the best person to attempt to do so.
The August 2 primary results are truly bitter-sweet for all of us here at Robinson Brinkmann & Fulford. The selfish side is that we are losing a friend and colleague. However, we know Mark and his family have prayed on his run for Judge and we know his heart is in being the best Judge he can be in Division 7. We also know Mark will make an incredible judge.
CONGRATULATIONS MARK, HIS WIFE KELLY, AND THEIR KIDS!!
Mark Brinkmann for Judge
