THE 20TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA

Collier County Welcomes New Administrative Services Manager

Collier County welcomed a new Administrative Services Manager on March 2, 2012. Mr. John Carter replaces Mark Middlebrook who had been in the position for 17 years. Though new to the position, Mr. Carter is not new to Court Administration; he had been employed as a case manager in the civil division, working alongside judges helping to keep cases moving efficiently through to disposition.

A graduate of Florida State University, he obtained his law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law. He has over 20 years experience practicing law, almost 15 of which, were in service to the State of Florida as an Assistant State Attorney and for the Department of Children and Families. Additionally, he was legal counsel to the Clerk of Circuit Court in Collier County. He was in private practice until beginning in Court Administration in November 2009. His law degree along with his many years of experience within the court system make Carter an asset to the management team.
