I would give Judge Marquez a rating of 1 out of 10. Given the extended duration of my case, it has seen involvement from multiple judges, including Hon. Leslie G. Landau, Hon. Barry P. Goode, and Hon. Terri A. Mockler. In comparison to these judges, Judge Marquez stood out as the least satisfactory. His judicial demeanor exhibited the lowest quality among them. On one occasion, he became angry and raised his voice at me for asking a straightforward question to which I did not know the answer. While he may possess skills as a lawyer, they do not translate well into the role of a judge due to his lack of courtesy toward parties he does not favor. His behavior demonstrates a clear absence of the neutrality and impartiality expected of a judge, which are fundamental requirements for the role. It is worth noting that during proceedings where my ex and I represented ourselves, he seemed to take on a more adversarial role, resembling more of my ex's advocate than a neutral arbiter.

Judge Marquez has an excellent judicial temperament and great equanimity in handing out decisions. He is very courteous to all parties. He is going places. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it in the supreme court one day.
