Judge Patricia A. Kinsey: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

The Florida Bar Bar #: 930989 (04/28/1992)

Biography

The Hon. Patricia ("Pat") A. Kinsey (Ret.) served as a judge for the Escambia County Court in Florida. Kinsey was elected to the bench in 1998. She retired at the conclusion of her term on January 2, 2023.


Over the course of her judicial career, Kinsey played an instrumental role in the creation of the Civil Division of the Escambia County Court. The Escambia Judicial Center experienced extensive damage after Hurricane Ivan, creating a backlog of more than 7,000 cases. Under her leadership, the backlog was cleared in two years and the Civil Division was made a permanent fixture of the 1st Judicial Circuit.


Kinsey earned a bachelor's degree from the University of West Florida. She then completed a J.D. at Florida State University College of Law. As a law student, Kinsey interned in the Misdemeanor Division in the Office of the State Attorney for the 1st Judicial Circuit in Pensacola.


After graduating from law school, Kinsey became an assistant state attorney with the 1st Judicial Circuit.


Her memberships have included the Task Force on Juvenile Delinquency of the East Hill Association, the Florida Council on Crime and Delinquency, and the Escambia-Santa Rosa County Bar Association. She has also been involved with IMPACT 100, Rotary International, and Toastmasters International.


During her election campaigns, Kinsey received endorsements from the Police Benevolent Association and the Fraternal Order of Police.


Kinsey was born in Tachahawa, Japan. Before pursuing a legal career, she worked as a receptionist, quickly rising through the ranks to become a regional vice-president for a division of Chase Manhattan Bank.
