The statewide advertising rules are in the Florida guide. This page covers what is local to Orlando: a county of many towns, a downtown courthouse with three branch courthouses, and a circuit that crosses into Kissimmee.
Thirteen municipalities, one county
The Orange County Supervisor of Elections lists 13 municipalities: Orlando, Apopka, Bay Lake, Belle Isle, Eatonville, Edgewood, Lake Buena Vista, Maitland, Oakland, Ocoee, Windermere, Winter Garden, and Winter Park. Readers search with the town name they use every day, and a reader in an unincorporated community will use that community's name instead.
That is not a case for 13 town pages. A town page earns its place only when it has something distinct to say. One strong Orange County page that names the towns you serve usually does more work, and our note on whether city pages still work explains when a split makes sense.
Getting the local court facts right
The Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida lists the Orange County Courthouse at 425 N. Orange Avenue in Orlando. Its directory places Family Court Case Management and Guardianship offices there, while juvenile court and several related programs are listed at the Thomas S. Kirk Justice Center. The circuit also lists branch courthouses in Apopka, Ocoee, and Winter Park.
A family law page that sends a parent to the wrong building is a small error with a real cost, and an AI answer drawn from that page repeats it. We verify court locations against the circuit's own directory before they go on your pages.
One circuit, two counties
The Ninth Circuit serves both Orange and Osceola counties. Its directory lists the Jon B. Morgan Osceola County Courthouse at 2 Courthouse Square, Kissimmee. An Orlando firm that takes Osceola County clients should say so on a page that names the Osceola courthouse, not on an Orange County page with the city name swapped.
That two-county structure is what sets Orlando apart from the Tampa market, where the Thirteenth Circuit serves Hillsborough County alone.
What we build for Orlando firms
- Practice-area pages that name the Orange County Courthouse and the branch courthouses accurately
- An Orange County page set naming the towns you serve, with Osceola pages where you take those clients
- Answer posts for the local questions clients ask before they call
The family law guide and the personal injury guide show the pages each practice tends to need.
Common questions
Should an Orlando firm publish separate Osceola County pages?
Yes, if you take Osceola matters. The circuit is the same, but the courthouse is in Kissimmee, and a page for those readers should say so plainly.
Our office is in Winter Park. Should our pages say Orlando?
Your pages should say where you are and where you take clients. Winter Park is its own municipality with a branch courthouse, so naming it accurately is more useful than borrowing the larger city's name.
