The following is adapted from a press release from the Seventh Judicial Circuit:
After more than 17 years on the bench, Flagler County Court Judge Sharon B. Atack has announced she will not seek re-election at the end of her term and will retire Jan. 7, 2013.
As the only county court judge, Atack has served the residents of Flagler County in many ways. Over the years, she has heard civil, criminal and traffic cases, as well as serving as an acting circuit judge handling juvenile delinquency, juvenile dependency, domestic violence and child support cases.
“Judge Atack is a very special judge and will be missed. She has been a part of the tremendous growth of Flagler County over the years,” said Chief Judge William A. Parsons. “We appreciate her dedication to the Flagler County community, her professionalism, her can-do attitude and collegiality — which will be hard to replace. We wish her well in the future.”
Before becoming a judge, Atack was an assistant public defender and also in private practice. She was appointed to the bench in 1995. Because she is retiring at the end of her term, Atack’s replacement will be elected.
Atack was featured as one of three judges in the Palm Coast Observer's People to Watch in 2011. Click here to read the story.
