The Courthouse Is in Fort Pierce.
So Are We.

Fort Pierce is the county seat of St. Lucie County and the home of the 19th Judicial Circuit Courthouse at 218 S. 2nd St — where all St. Lucie County criminal, civil, and family law cases are heard. Fort Pierce is also one of the Treasure Coast’s most active legal markets, with a significant volume of criminal defense cases, personal injury litigation on US-1 and I-95, and family court proceedings.

Jeff T. Gorman Law Offices serves Fort Pierce from our Port St. Lucie office, just minutes south on US-1. Jeff Gorman’s prosecutorial career was built in the 19th Judicial Circuit — which includes St. Lucie County and its courthouse in Fort Pierce. That institutional knowledge of the Fort Pierce courthouse, its judges, and its prosecutors benefits every Fort Pierce client we represent.
