Gov. Rick Scott has appointed Richard Hersch, of Miami, to the 11th Judicial Circuit Court.

As a lifelong resident of Miami with 30 years of experience in courtrooms, Richards continued study of the law and extensive work ethic are evidence of his ability to serve on the bench of the circuit court, Scott stated in a release.

I am confident of his ability to deliver reasoned and impartial rulings based upon evidence and a careful review of the law.

According to a release Monday from the governor's office:

"Hersch, 56, has been a partner with Hersch and Talisman PA since 1998. Previously, he was a sole practitioner from 1980 to 1998.

"Active in leadership of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, both statewide and within the Miami chapter, he received board certification as a criminal trial lawyer in 1996.

"Hersch received a bachelors degree from Florida State University and a law degree from the University of Florida.

"Hersch will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Robert N. Scola."
