Presiding Judge Charles W. Gurtler, Jr. announced July 18 the appointment of Megan McCoy to the position of Court Commissioner for the Mohave County Superior Court with an anticipated start date of August 5, 2019.

“Ms. McCoy has developed exemplary skills during her time in the County attorney’s office and her experience, maturity, and discipline will help ensure she administers justice and fairness to all parties who come before her. Megan received numerous letters of public support that highlighted her integrity, professionalism, strong work ethic and her ability to follow and apply the law” stated Presiding Judge Gurtler. Several members of the public mentioned, “Megan’s involvement in local community activities have helped her not lose sight of what is really important in life. Her dedication to her family, community, and friends and her many interests outside of the courtroom have helped keep her grounded.”
“This was not an easy decision as both of the candidates have excellent skills and abilities, however, after considering all matters it was determined that Megan was the best fit at this time.” Megan has the support of the judges on the Superior Court bench and from members of the community in all three of the major cities in Mohave County.
