re: Notice for Vacancy
Respondent Attorney Team Member for the Delaware County Family Treatment Court
Our Team is searching for an attorney willing to take on the commitment for supporting the Participants in our Family Treatment Court. To avoid conflicts of interest, attorneys should not be on the Delaware County assigned attorney list or represent respondents in Delaware County Family Court. The Attorney’s time would be paid for by the County’s 18-B plan (assigned counsel).
The Respondent Attorney would be required to participate in all team meetings held on the first and third Mondays of each Month, generally held 1:30-3PM. The attorney is then also asked to attend each court session held the same day 3-4PM; in order to best serve the Participants in the Court. The Attorney will be kept informed of case events and updates by email daily and will receive program agendas, by email, the Friday prior to team meetings.
Current team members are: Hon. Carl F. Becker (presiding over both Drug Treatment Court and Family Treatment Court) Chief Clerk Lori Metzko, Chief Clerk Allison Barnes, Resource Coordinator Kelly Sanfilippo, DSS Attorney Porter Esq. Kirkwood, Law Guardian Christine McCue Esq., David Ramsey (Delaware County Drug and Alcohol Council), Cynthia Heaney (Director of Delaware County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services), Anne Marie Mills (Delaware County Mental Health Clinic), Caseworker Scott Burrows and Supervisor Tatiana Amadon (DSS Staff)
If you have any questions or wish to express your interest in observing our program, please contact myself at the number below.
Sincerely,
Kelly Sanfilippo
Resource Coordinator
