Orlando Office Relocates

In the 1970s there was a sitcom of note. As did most televisions shows in that era, the Jeffersons came with a theme song. This one was entitled "Movin on Up." And I am reminded of that tune as the Orlando District Office moves this week from 400 West Robinson Street in downtown Orlando to our new location just over the Seminole County line: 

Office of the Judges of Compensation Claims
225 S. Westmonte Drive, Suite #3300
Altamonte Springs, FL, 32714
407-961-5805

During the week of October 22, 2018 proceedings are likely to occur at the West Robinson Street office. Parties and attorneys should rely on communications from the presiding judge or mediator in this regard. Towards the end of the week, proceedings may instead be conducted at the new Westmonte Drive location. And, beginning the week of October 29, 2018 all proceedings will be at Westmonte Drive. 

Those who have experienced parking difficulties at the old Orlando office location will be pleased with the ample parking available at Westmonte Drive. On a recent visit there, over 100 vacant parking spaces were counted. 

Attorneys may have to make some adjustments. Primary among these will be the realization that OJCC judges and staff will be in secured office areas, and not generally accessible to the public. That is consistent with the evolution of OJCC office arrangements in recent years, but is a departure from the historical arrangements. Dropping in on staff to check on orders or filings is a thing of the past, and attorneys should adapt to checking the electronic platforms for such questions. 

We hope that everyone is better served with the new location. We invite you to come by and visit the the new Orlando District Office!

Convenience and Payments

The Florida OJCC is evolving yet again, this time as regards appellate records. The accounting surrounding the preparation of a record on appeal has been a challenging process. And, there have been many over the years that have asked "why can't I use a credit card." The day has finally come when that is possible. That process will be available for many payments on March 1, 2023.  Appellants should keep in mind that there are generally three payments to be made when an appeal is undertaken. The first is the filing fee that is due to the Florida First District. The second is  the cost of the transcript of proceedings which is no longer ever prepared by the team at the OJCC (outside designated transcriptionist). The third  is the cost for the preparation of the record itself (compilation of the transcript, the exhibits, etc.).  The new credit card process we are rolling out now applies only to the third element (payment to DOAH). We cannot accept money for the...

 April 1, 2024 is right around the corner! No "April Fools," changes are coming to the Office of Judges of Compensation Claims interface platforms. The main changes are in eJCC. Take notes, there will be some adaptation needed. The basic interface appearance is changing to accommodate the volume of topics and alternatives. Look for changes. The main screen today looks like But on Monday, it will look like When you hover your mouse over the ones with arrows, like "case" you will get an expanded menu as pictured. This should help with viewing on smaller screens.  We are providing you (the filer) the opportunity to expedite the processing of some motions. An example is settlements. When you upload a  Motion for Approval of Attorney's Fees and Child Support, you will have the option to input the data from your documents. This will speed up the process in our office in many cases. Watch for this change to evolve into a necessity one day. But, for now, it is an option...
