A Message from Jill Cabai
Friends and Neighbors,
I am running for County Court Judge because I believe our justice system should reflect the heart and values of our community — fairness, dignity, and service. As a longtime Hendry County resident and attorney with nearly two decades of courtroom experience, I am committed to ensuring that every person who enters the courtroom is heard, respected, and treated with integrity.
I graduated cum laude from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in Environmental Studies, and I earned my Juris Doctor from the Florida State University College of Law, where I also completed certificates in Land Use and Environmental Law. I was admitted to The Florida Bar in 2007.
My legal career began in Orange County as a Certified Legal Intern at the State Attorney’s Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit. I then returned home to Southwest Florida to serve as an Assistant State Attorney in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, in Hendry County office where I represented the people of Hendry County for over 8 years. As a prosecutor, I managed more than 100 felony cases at a time from intake through resolution and tried numerous felony, misdemeanor, and juvenile cases. My courtroom experience includes DUIs, domestic violence, theft offenses, narcotics crimes, serious violent felonies, and handling the Special Victims docket. That experience strengthened my ability to evaluate evidence carefully, apply the law fairly, and make difficult decisions with steady judgment.
In private practice, I have continued serving the people of Hendry County by representing individuals and families in criminal defense and family law matters. My work has always been grounded in preparation, professionalism, and respect for the rule of law. I am a current member and former Vice President of the Hendry/Glades County Bar Association.
Service has always extended beyond my legal practice. I serve on the Board of the Greater LaBelle Chamber of Commerce, supporting local businesses and economic opportunity throughout our community. I previously served for many years on the board of the Caloosa Humane Society, our local no-kill animal rescue. I have also volunteered at the Firehouse Community Theater, LaBelle Downtown Revitalization Corp. (LDRC), and supported Hendry County youth sports. I show up for this community not because it is my profession, but because it is my home.
If elected, I will bring experience, impartiality, and a deep commitment to fairness to the bench. I believe a strong judiciary is rooted in the faithful application of the law.
Every person who comes before the County Court deserves respect, dignity, and an unbiased application of the law — and that is the standard I will uphold.
