Governor Josh Stein has appointed Cheryl Andrews McDonald to the District Court for Judicial District 31, which serves Forsyth County. This appointment fills the vacancy left by the retirement of Judge George Cleland IV.
McDonald is currently a solo practitioner in Winston-Salem, where she focuses on civil and criminal litigation. Her previous experience includes working as an attorney at Holton Law Firm, PLLC since 2010 and serving four years in the Forsyth County Public Defender’s Office. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University School of Law.
“With nearly twenty years of legal experience and a commitment to justice, Cheryl is the right person to serve District 31,” said Governor Josh Stein. “Her values and experience, coupled with her strong record of service, make her well-equipped for the role, and I look forward to her service on the bench.”
