Quick facts

In plain English

The Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building is at 1351 N.W. 12th Street, Miami, Florida 33125, west of downtown off the Dolphin Expressway (FL-836). Court hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday; Clerk office hours are on a separate Clerk page.

For parking, the court lists limited street meters and off-street lot parking, so arrive early and have a way to pay a meter. The page posts several driving routes. From the north, take I-95 South to exit 3A and FL-836 West, exit at N.W. 12th Avenue, then a slight left onto N.W. 12th Street; the building is on the right. From the south, you can take US-1 to I-95 North and the same exit 3A, or take the Turnpike and FL-874 to FL-826 and FL-836 East, exit at N.W. 17th Avenue, and follow N.W. South River Drive, N.W. 17th Avenue, N.W. 14th Street and N.W. 13th Court. Several of these roads have toll portions. For buses and trains, the court refers you to Miami-Dade County Transportation & Public Works.

The page does not say which kinds of cases are heard here, so confirm with the court or Clerk if you are unsure.
