But she wasn’t just about the cases; she was the glue that held our team together – responsible, caring, and always there for her colleagues. She’s got the right mix for a judge – big on integrity, tough on crime, and fair to all.”

Kim Laseter was one of the finest prosecutors I ever faced as a defense attorney. She was fierce in a courtroom and a formidable opponent but unfailingly ethical and principled. In the right cases, she could show grace to deserving clients. She was committed to justice in its broadest sense and served in a crucial role in an innovative program to divert addicts into treatment, breaking the cycle of repeated drug offenses. She brings the rare combination of personal integrity, professional wisdom, even temperament, and unflagging work ethic that will make her a superlative trial judge. She is the ideal candidate, and Collin County will be proud to have her serving in the 401st.

I have known Kim Laseter for many years. We first met when she was a prosecutor at the Collin County District Attorney's office. As a prosecutor, she was one of the fairest, professional, and prepared assistant DAs I have worked with in 15 years. As a citizen of Collin County, she was exactly what I wanted in a prosecutor. As a defense attorney representing the citizen accused, she embodied what we idealize as a prosecutor in our justice system.
I’ve also worked alongside her in her role as a defense attorney and again she is counted as one of the best. Her compassion and diligence protect the rights of her citizen clients.
Her experience as a prosecutor and a defense attorney makes her an excellent candidate and judge and I can’t wait to vote for her. I wholeheartedly endorse Kim for the 401st District Court.

Having started my career with a Federal Circuit Court Clerkship on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and being Board Certified in Civil Trial Law since 1986, or 38 years, I believe I have a unique insight into what makes both a good and a great trial judge. Kim Laseter will not only be a good judge, but she will also be a great judge. Collin County is blessed with an incredibly competent judiciary and Kim will be a positive contribution to the Collin County Judiciary. That is why I wholeheartedly support her and will tell anyone who asks that she is the candidate for whom you should vote. Lawyers who actually go to the courthouse and try lawsuits are a rare breed. Kim has tried over 100 different jury trials to verdict. I venture to say that any trial lawyer you ask will tell you that they pray for judges who have tried a significant number of trials. With that much experience under her belt, Kim Laseter knows that trial lawyers just want a fair judge who will call the balls and strikes and let them try their case while maintaining control of the courtroom. In Kim Laseter, that is what you will find and so that is why I unqualifiedly support Kim and ask you to also support her because she will be a true asset to the Collin County Trial Bench and to the citizens of Collin County.
