Biography

Hon. Andrew D. Owens, Jr. (Ret.) was a judge for the 12th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida in Sarasota County. He was appointed to the bench by former Governor Bob Graham in 1983. Owens resigned in 2017.


The 12th Judicial Circuit includes DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties. Owens was instrumental in helping to establish a Mental Health Court and a Drug Court in Sarasota County. In 2011, Owens was appointed to serve as Chief Judge of the 12th Judicial Circuit, remaining in that capacity until 2015.


Prior to joining the bench, Owens practiced at the law firm of Dickinson & Gibbons, where he represented insurance companies as a civil trial attorney. He joined the firm in 1977 after working as an attorney in Punta Gorda, Florida.


He received a B.S.B.A. in finance from the University of Florida in 1970. After playing both high school and college basketball, Owens was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1970 NBA Draft. Ultimately, he did not pursue a career in professional basketball but decided to attend law school instead. He went on to complete a J.D. at the University of Florida, Fredric G. Levin College of Law, in 1973.
