Several Clerks of Court Support Diana Colavecchio For Stow Clerk of Court

Current and past leaders from Twinsburg, Stow and Cuyahoga Falls have publicly announced they are endorsing attorney who assumed the role of clerk of court earlier in the year.

"It is an absolute honor to serve as your clerk of courts. I feel blessed to be embraced by so many public officials and our legal community.  As an attorney myself and a past council representative, I appreciate the hard work all these supporters  do and so here at the clerk's office we do our part to facilitate their jobs," she said. "While we have made some positive changes since I arrived, the most exciting project — electronic filing — lies ahead as soon as the judges have secured the funding. We will work together to transition into a paperless court."
    The Stow Municipal Court district includes the following communities:  Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Tallmadge, Silver Lake, Munroe Falls, Twinsburg, Macedonia, Northfield, Northfield Center Township, Sagamore Hills, Peninsula, Reminderville, Boston Heights, Boston Township, and Twinsburg Township.
