I’m Wendy Maynard

Career

I began my career in 1995 in Charlotte working for the Clerk of Superior Court’s Office for then Clerk Martha Curran.  I worked as a deputy clerk in the Civil Department as a filing clerk for District, Superior and Small Claim matters. I later transferred to Union County Clerk of Superior Court’s Office for then Clerk Nola McCollum. While working for the Union County Clerk’s Office I had the opportunity to work in the Civil, Cashier, Small Claims, Front Desk and in the Criminal Department where I enjoyed being a deputy clerk in District and Superior Court. In 2004, I transferred to the District Attorney’s Office, Prosecutorial District 20, which included, Union, Anson, Stanly and Richmond counties for then District Attorney Ken Honeycutt as a Victim/Witness Legal Assistant. In 2007, Prosecutorial District 20B became a one-county district. While in the Union County District Attorney’s Office I have worked for District Attorney Michael Parker, John Snyder and the current District Attorney, Trey Robison, under Prosecutorial District 30.

As a Legal Assistant, I currently manage the Superior Court calendars, coordinate the Grand Jury process, and am the personal Legal Assistant for the Chief Assistant District Attorney. I maintain the statical values of cases in Union County to include pending and all disposed cases. I am a legal assistant for victim rights cases and advocate for the victims throughout the court process. Other areas that I have worked in during my time in the District Attorney’s Office are, Victim/Witness Assistant in Domestic Violence court, working on Superior Court cases which includes preparing indictments, running criminal background checks, sending letters to victims as required by General Statute, helping the Assistant District Attorney to make sure the file is complete and ready for court.

Having my current position, the last 17 years has taught me the importance of public service and helping victims during their most difficult times in life. I believe all cases are equally important and deserve the same dedication.  I feel it is important to communicate well to others and embrace teamwork among colleagues. My dedication to the position has led to my professional success.

I have given over 26 years to the State of North Carolina and 25 of those years to the citizens on Union County. Being a part of the court system has allowed me the opportunity to work with others and recognize the value of people and their judicial rights. I believe that my time and service to the judicial system will help me be the best public servant as your next Clerk of Court.
