NICEVILLE, Fla. — Attorney Jonathan “Jack” Schlechter of Niceville has been appointed Okaloosa County’s next county judge.

Schlechter has worked as an attorney at AnchorsGordon, P.A. since 2019. Previously, he served as an Assistant State Attorney for 10 years in the First Judicial Circuit.

Raised in a military service family that eventually moved to Okaloosa County, Schlechter attended high school locally.
