SPRING VALLEY – Spring Valley Village Justice Christopher Exias, Tuesday, announced his candidacy for Rockland County Family Court.
“I know how stressful and challenging Rockland County Family Court will be and that doing the job well means allowing the cases to affect me,” Exias said. “To me, that is a badge of honor demonstrating my care for the families that come to court during some of their darkest moments and my motivation to be a light in those dire situations.”
Exias has worked for the New York State courts for almost 20 years. He began in 2004, overseeing dispute resolution and case management programs. When he graduated from law school, he served as an assistant law clerk to two State Supreme Court justices, senior court attorney to a county court judge, and principal law clerk to a State Supreme Court justice.
He also currently works as a court attorney-referee for the Ninth Judicial District, which includes the counties of Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester.
He was elected to the Spring Valley Village Justice Court bench in November 2021.
