Dear Editor:

I recently retired after more than 50 years of practicing law. During my years of practice, I have encountered Jack Birch on numerous occasions, and I am well acquainted with his abilities and his involvement in many areas of practice.

Jack Birch has successfully handled many issues, including land use, zoning, contract disputes, personal injury, criminal law, estates, guardianships, receiverships and many other areas of law. All of these fall within the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court. He has done so for more than 30 years. Mr. Birch is highly rated by both his fellow attorneys and his clients.

I am writing to endorse Jack Birch for judge of the Kosciusko Circuit Court and to urge voters in the primary election to choose Mr. Birch as their candidate.

Rick Helm
