Fleming Island, Florida
Fleming Island is an unincorporated community in Clay County, on a peninsula in the St. Johns River south of Orange Park and north of Green Cove Springs. It is not its own city and it does not have a courthouse. It is a large residential community along the U.S. 17 corridor, with schools, neighborhoods, and river access that set it apart both from inland Middleburg and from the Town of Orange Park. The Bonderud Law Firm meets Fleming Island clients at 2130 Riverside Avenue, in Jacksonville’s Riverside / Avondale area. The firm does not have a Fleming Island office.
County court is down the river, in Green Cove Springs
Clay County criminal, family, and many civil dockets are generally heard at the courthouse in Green Cove Springs, in the Fourth Judicial Circuit — south of Fleming Island, not in the community itself. Some residents have cases in Duval County or in the United States District Court in downtown Jacksonville, including federal criminal matters and Hague Convention petitions. A home address on Fleming Island does not, by itself, fix the forum.
