Case Manager’s Dedication Yields a Big Win

We’ve got a rockstar on staff! Court Administration employee Rafael Ferrans is the “winningest” case closer in the Domestic Relations Case Management Department with six coveted plastic gold trophies on his desk to prove it. His nickname among his peers? The “Tom Brady of case management” because his dedication has made him a standout. Kudos to Supervisor Tania Hanson, who brainstormed the idea for a friendly monthly competition to boost internal morale. A big score for all.
