Here for those that think circut court is a joke. This says they can try civil matter exceeding 15k dollars. We can easily end up in a higher court. Im telling you. Were talking about big companies...this isnt a domestic over common law marriage...this is court and were scheduled to appear.

Dont take it lightly

This is from the Pinellas Court page


http://www.jud6.org/GeneralPublic/AboutTheCircuit.html
The circuit court is Florida's trial court of general jurisdiction. Each of the state's 20 judicial circuits incorporates one or more counties. Circuit courts have exclusive original jurisdiction in all of the following: actions in which the matter in controversy exceeds $15,000, exclusive of interest and costs; proceedings relating to the settlement of estates; guardianship; involuntary hospitalization; determination of incapacity; and other matters concerning court of probate; in all cases in equity including all cases relating to juveniles except traffic offenses. In criminal matters, the circuit courts have original jurisdiction in all felonies and in all misdemeanors arising out of the same circumstances as a felony that is concurrently charged. Also, circuit courts preside over all cases involving the legality of tax assessment, in the actions of ejectment, in all actions involving the titles or boundaries or rights of possession of real property, and in other actions not heard by county court. Family cases such as dissolution of marriage, child custody, visitation, domestic violence, and juvenile dependency cases are all heard in the Circuit Court.

The circuit court handles appeals from the county court except those appeals that may be taken to the district court of appeal. Thirty-three circuit judges are assigned in Pinellas County and twelve circuit judges are assigned in Pasco County.
