Biography

The Hon. Patricia L. Strowbridge is a judge for the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Rick Scott on March 25, 2015, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Robert M. Evans.

The 9th Judicial Circuit encompasses Osceola County and Orange County. Strowbridge has held assignments in both counties, presiding over cases in the Domestic Relations Division, the Civil Division, the Criminal Division, and the Unified Family Court (Osceola). She also sat as an associate administrative judge for the Osceola County Circuit Court.

Strowbridge earned a bachelor's degree in humanities pre-law from Michigan State University in 1985. She then completed a J.D. at Georgetown University Law Center in 1988.

After graduating from law school, Strowbridge began her legal career as an attorney with the Adoption, Surrogacy and Family Law Firm. She worked in that capacity until 2000, at which time she founded A Chosen Child, Inc. She spent the next fourteen years as its executive director and its legal services director.

Her memberships have included the Orange County Bar Association, the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys, and the Board of Directors of the Florida Adoption Council. She has also been an active member of the Rotary Club and the Rotary Youth Exchange.

Strowbridge was married to the late Hon. Bob Wattles (deceased), a former judge of the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court.
