Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller, Juan Fernandez-Barquin, Esq., Reports Positive Results from Extended Hours at Two Locations
On August 17, 2023, Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller, Juan Fernandez-Barquin, Esq., commenced a pilot program extending hours of operation at two county court locations to allow working residents the ability to address their court obligations without having to take time off from work. The two locations are South Dade Justice Center (10710 SW 211 St, Cutler Bay, FL 33189) and Joseph Caleb Center (5400 NW 22nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142), and their extended hours of operation are Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We are now six months into the extended hours pilot program, and it’s fantastic to see that this program has been so well-received and utilized by the residents of our community,” said Fernandez-Barquin.
Over the last six months extended hours at both locations have yielded 1,945 transactions and have totaled $83,837.02 in payments, where most payments received have been for traffic fines.
“We are exploring the possibility of making this permanent. Extended hours offer numerous benefits to our community and greater flexibility for working individuals, and improved convenience for the overall community who are complying with their court obligations.”
All court-related financial obligations can be addressed during these extended hours. For more information, please log onto: www.miamidadeclerk.gov.
