Justice of the Peace
I have been a Justice of the Peace for the Town of Stamford and the State of Vermont for 15 years. As such, I serve on certain appeals committees, and I marry people. ( To resolve any ambiguity, I marry people to each other.)
In the footsteps of Al Capp's Marryin' Sam, I have created a schedule of fees. You will find it below.
