Lady Lake, Florida, in Lake County, has about 17,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Lake County Circuit Court and the County Court, and the file of each case, kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, is the public record of it. This guide says which court hears what, where to look a case up and who keeps the files.
This guide covers the courts, the records page, criminal cases, kinds of files, directory links and common questions.

The State Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at lakecountyfl.gov/offices/county_attorney/contacts.aspx, a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
The Kinds of Court Files
The court file is one record with several readers: a criminal case from the arrest to the sentence, a divorce from the petition to the judgment, a traffic ticket from the citation to the conviction the court reports to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and an eviction or a lien on land.
The other Lady Lake guides take the kinds of file one at a time: Lady Lake criminal records, Lady Lake divorce records, Lady Lake traffic tickets, Lady Lake DUI and Lady Lake property records.
