Val Lewis II

Gov. Mike DeWine has appointed Val Lewis II to serve as a judge on the Brown County Common Pleas Court. He replaces Judge Danny R. Bubp, who will resign May 31, 2020.

Lewis, of Georgetown, will assume office on June 1, 2020, and will serve the remainder of the term.

“This is a job I’ve been looking forward to for a long time,” Judge-designate Lewis said. “It was a job I was aiming for. It’s a community that means a lot to me. It’s a small community. There aren’t a lot of lawyers here. To be able to affect kids’ lives is a high priority for me.”

Lewis received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Cincinnati and law degree from Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Kentucky.

Lewis currently serves as a mayor's court magistrate for the villages of Aberdeen, Georgetown, Hamersville, Ripley, Russellville, and Sardinia. Lewis is also an associate attorney at the Wallace Law Firm in Mount Orab and serves as a public defender in Brown County.
