Transparency in government is one of the most important responsibilities of an elected official. That is why I am so excited to share with you my office has completed the Orange County Clerk of Courts' 2017 Report to the Citizens. 

The report includes important information on our commitment to elevate the customer experience, leverage technology, increase access to justice, the financial health of this office, trends in case filings, and expansion of services.

In recognition of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Orange County Clerk of Courts reminds the community our office is a local resource for those affected directly and indirectly by domestic violence. 

The Orange County Clerk of Courts in partnership with the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA) is expanding its Self Help Center to Apopka in order to bring access to justice closer to more people who may be in need of legal assistance.

On November 2, 2017, the Clerk's Office will host our Legal Matters: Access to Justice Workshop in partnership with the Orange County Bar Association right in the city of Apopka. This free legal education forum will show how the Self Help Center can assist customers with navigating a small claims matter, divorce, or eviction.

The Orange County Clerk’s Office has reached another green milestone in its quest to move toward a more paperless environment. In August all courtrooms went file-less after 9^th Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Frederick Lauten gave final approval following a series of pilots to work out process issues.
