St. Johns County, Florida

St. Johns County includes St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Johns, and the communities that have grown along I-95 and the coast between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The Bonderud Law Firm represents St. Johns County clients from a single office at 2130 Riverside Avenue in Jacksonville. We do not operate a branch office in the county.

Courts in the Seventh Judicial Circuit

County and circuit matters for St. Johns County are generally heard in St. Augustine. That is a different circuit from Duval, Clay, and Nassau Counties, which sit in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. The distinction matters for procedure, local practice, and where you may have to appear. Federal cases and certain Hague Convention petitions are typically heard in Jacksonville’s federal courthouse, not at the county complex.

Coming to the Riverside office

Clients travel from St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and other parts of the county to our Jacksonville office. The drive is usually north or west into the city, then into Riverside. We schedule meetings Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, and review after-hours messages the next business day.
