Judicial Section Details

If you need to reach Chambers, email is the most efficient method. Inquiries may be directed to the Judicial Assistant at 11thFC17@jud11.flcourts.org.

Please be aware that due to growing concerns about the safety of our community and the spread of the Coronavirus and COVID-19 disease, the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse is closed to the public, except on mission critical matters. 

However, our divisions remain open. The Judge and his/her staff are working and available.   We are addressing matters remotely via phone conferences and/or COURTMAP and ZOOM. 

It is important that
ALL ATTORNEYS AND SELF REPRESENTED LITIGANTS MUST SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT AT FLORIDA COURTS E-FILING PORTAL AT https://www.myflcourtaccess.com/for filing pleadings or motions with the clerk, AND

Sign up for COURTMAP at https://www.jud11.flcourts.org/Programs-and-Services/Online-Services/

The Judges will be using the ZOOM platform for hearings.  It is FREE.  If you are unfamiliar with the Zoom platform, please go to the ZOOM training page website to learn how to access the platform for use.
