Alena Chaban
Candidate for Seminole County Judge, Group 6
Calm. Committed. Consistent.
THREE PILLARS
-
The temperament every courtroom requires.
Having built her career litigating in circuit court handling parental rights, custody disputes, and the cases that carry the highest emotional weight, taught Alena how to hold steady when everything is on the line. The people who appear before a county court judge deserve that same steadiness, every single day.
-
To this community. To doing the work.
Alena and her husband chose to build their law firm in Seminole County in 2020. Her father-in-law has practiced medicine here for decades, caring for the county's children. She has volunteered as a Guardian ad Litem, advocating for kids with no voice of their own. This is not a campaign stop. This is home.
-
Fair process for every person, every time.
Consistency is not a virtue, it is a minimum standard. Every person who appears before a judge deserves the same prepared, dignified, fair process regardless of their case, their background, or how the day is going. That is the standard Alena holds herself to as an attorney, and the standard she will hold on the bench.
The cases that touch everyday life.
County Court. Where real life happens.
Seminole County's county court handles misdemeanor criminal charges, traffic offenses, landlord-tenant disputes, and civil cases under $50,000. These are not abstract legal matters. They are the cases that show up when life gets complicated, a fender bender that turns into a legal dispute, a first-time offense that could follow someone for years, a small business owner trying to recover money they are owed.
The person standing at that podium might be terrified. They might be embarrassed. They might be a single parent whose driver's license is the difference between keeping a job and losing it. They deserve a judge who walks in prepared, who listens carefully, and who applies the law without shortcuts. Every. Single. Time.
That is the experience Alena brings. Experience litigating in circuit court, the more complex jurisdiction above county court, handling cases with the highest emotional stakes and the most lasting consequences for families. The docket changes. The person at the podium does not.
"Every person who walks into that courtroom is having one of the most stressful days of their life. They deserve calm, consistent, and prepared every time." — Alena Chaban
