Practice Areas in Florida
The Court System in Florida
At the foundation are the trial courts, which include Circuit Courts and County Courts. County Courts handle smaller matters like traffic violations, misdemeanors, and civil cases under $30,000. Circuit Courts are the main trial courts that deal with serious criminal cases (felonies), family law matters, civil cases over $30,000, and appeals from County Courts. The middle level consists of five District Courts of Appeal, which review decisions from the trial courts. These appellate courts are located in different regions across Florida and ensure consistency in legal interpretations throughout the state. At the top sits the Florida Supreme Court in Tallahassee, which has the final say on state constitutional matters and reviews the most significant cases. What makes Florida distinctive is its unified system where all courts operate under consistent rules and procedures. The state also handles a high volume of cases due to its large population and tourist activity, making court efficiency a priority. Florida courts have embraced technology more than many states, offering online services and electronic filing systems.
