County Court Group 5 — Olga Levine
The county courts are often referred to as the "People's Courts," where judges (there are no jury trials) preside over small claims, landlord and tenant disputes, traffic cases, civil claims that do not exceed $15,000 and misdemeanor criminal cases. County courts are often viewed as entry-level positions for attorneys who aspire to become judges.
Levine, 48, has a varied background in civil and criminal law. She is currently an assistant public defender in the mental health division. There, she represents older, vulnerable individuals in adult protective, guardianship and involuntary commitment hearings. She has also worked in family court as an attorney ad-litem, representing children.
If elected, Levine says she wants to improve productivity, alleviate clogged dockets and help reduce the number of repeat offenders coming through her courtroom.
The Miami Herald has written, “Ms. Levine has a tough job. She defends mentally ill youth…” and “...is a credible candidate.”

BROWARD COUNTY, GROUP 5
Voters have a seasoned and public-spirited attorney from which to choose: Olga Levine, .
For this county seat, The Herald gives its nod to Ms. Levine. Her down-to-earth, real-world experience as a Broward County assistant public defender makes the county bench a logical next step. She has handled a broad variety of criminal defense work, often representing seniors, vulnerable adults and those facing mental-health challenges in civil evidentiary proceedings in guardianship, adult protective service and involuntary commitment hearings. She has been appointed by the court as attorney ad litem in family court cases, preparing reports and recommending time-sharing arrangements and other issues for children caught in divorce proceedings.
She says that the backlog of cases waiting to be heard is one of the court system’s biggest challenges. Ms. Levine says she would advocate for implementing digital e-filing to set hearings and instantly send notice to everyone involved, freeing up overburdened staff to be used more efficiently.
