Biography

The Hon. Phoebee R. Francois is a judge for the Broward County Court in Florida. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Rick Scott in 2018.

Prior to her appointment, Francois was a general magistrate for the 17th Judicial Circuit, a position to which she was named in 2009. In that capacity, she presided in the Family Law Division, where she established, enforced, and modified child support matters.

Francois earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and French from Temple University in 1990. She then completed a J.D. at St. Thomas University College of Law in 1994. As a law student, she served as an immigration fellow for the Legal Services of Greater Miami (1992 to 1993) as well as a legal clerk to the Hon. James R. Jorgenson of the Florida Third District Court of Appeal (1993).

After graduating from law school, Francois began her legal career as an assistant state attorney in the Office of the State Attorney for the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. She served in that capacity until 1995, at which time she joined the Office of the Public Defender for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit.

Then, in 2004, Francois entered into private practice. She opened the Law Offices of Phoebee R. Francois, where she represented clients in cases ranging from capital felonies to misdemeanor offenses. She also handled family litigation, immigration law, and employment law matters. Francois supplemented her practice with work as an associate at the Cochran Firm (2004 to 2009) as well as a Special Master for the City of Miami Gardens (2008 to 2009).

Her memberships have included the Broward County Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the Haitian Lawyers Association, and the T. J. Reddick Bar Association. She has also been involved with the Diversity Committee of the Broward County School Board, the Community Action Agency Advisory Board, and the boards of Broward Meals on Wheels and Minority Development & Empowerment, Inc.
