Compassion Fairness Dedication

I’m Alex Annunziato—raised in Miami, shaped by service, and grounded in the realities of our courts. I’ve worn many uniforms and carried many responsibilities: Florida State Trooper, naval officer in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve, Assistant Public Defender, and a seasoned civil trial attorney who has represented both plaintiffs and defendants. I’ve also stood beside those who too often feel unheard—through pro bono work for immigrants and victims of domestic violence—because justice only matters if it’s accessible to everyone.

I don’t speak about fairness as an abstract ideal. I’ve lived the stakes of litigation from every side of the courtroom: the pressure on families, the demands on lawyers, and the need for judges who listen, apply the law evenly, and run a courtroom where professionalism isn’t optional. My journey through addiction and recovery—open, honest, and well-known—has only sharpened my commitment to accountability, humility, and the dignity of every person who comes before the court.

As your candidate for Miami-Dade Circuit Judge, I will bring principled, steady leadership to the bench—rooted in civility, guided by the rule of law, and informed by real-world courtroom experience. My promise is simple: every litigant and every lawyer will get a fair hearing, a prepared judge, and a courtroom defined by respect
