Duval County, Florida
Duval County and the City of Jacksonville share a consolidated government, but the court system remains a county and circuit matter. The Bonderud Law Firm represents people in Duval County criminal, family, and civil cases from our office at 2130 Riverside Avenue — a single Jacksonville office, not a second location.
The courthouse and the community
Many Duval County cases are heard at the downtown courthouse complex, including criminal dockets, family-law matters, and civil claims. Bond hearings, arraignments, injunctions, and trials all move on the court’s calendar, and appearances are often required on short notice. Because our office is a short drive from downtown, we can meet you in Riverside and appear in those courtrooms without treating the trip as travel from another city.
Federal cases charged in the Jacksonville Division of the Middle District of Florida are also heard downtown. When a Duval County arrest later draws federal attention, or when a family dispute raises a Hague Convention issue, that shift in forum matters. We handle both state and federal work and will tell you if a case may move from one system to the other.
Practices we handle for Duval County clients
We defend state criminal charges, represent parents and spouses in dissolution and timesharing cases, and handle injury claims arising from crashes and other incidents in the county. We also appear as local counsel when an out-of-area lawyer needs a Jacksonville courtroom presence.

Communities in Duval County with their own pages include the City of Jacksonville; the three Beaches municipalities of Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Neptune Beach, which remain separate cities; and the west-county town of Baldwin. Each of those pages describes travel to the Riverside office and where cases are typically heard. None of them is a second office.
