This guy is nasty, rude, know it all, 100% pro bank biased. Constantly harassing my attorney to hurry up, screaming at him he had other cases waiting. If i had the power as a taxpayer to terminate him today i would give him the same JUSTICE he gave me.

Fierro is a vicious bully who delights in humiliating lawyers solely to feel superior. In 1999 he threatened to dismiss my client's case unless we withdrew our objection to the GM - of course there was no court reporter. In 2011 he called me ex parte and told me I better settle the case, that he didn't expect to have to try the case. In between are dozens of less noteworthy but equally inappropriate and unprofessional antics. And they allow him to serve as a senior judge because to complain about this asshole would cause the lawyer to risk even worse wrath, like I don't know what - death or dismemberment? JQC has to act on anonymous complaints to make the system better.

Fierro is terrible. He is an animal and a selloit. Check his campaign contributions. His staff wanted to testify against him but the JQC wouldn't give them a shot. Inferior Attorneys, After you have had 3 en banc hearings in a US Circuit Court of Appeals as I have then you can comment about inferior.

This Jurist is no nonsense and an equal opportunity reemer-outer! He listens as long as you are not orating to hear yourself and impress your client! I'd be willing to bet the complaints are from inferior attorneys who couldn't slip their lack of knowledge past him! He has an uncanny ability to see right through prevarications!

Absolutely the worst Judge in the history of the Court, which in Dade County is really bad.
Has complete disregard for the truth, the Constitution etc. A disgrace. I thought he was GONE. Don't these lousy Judges ever leave for good?

Always great to see when our cases are to be handled by this Judge-he's very experienced always understands the issues and the law as it relates to the issues. Excellent in that he is firm and decisive-he never lets lawyers or litigants interrupt. Looks like some of these earlier entries are from lawyers who don't want to follow the rules. An esteemed Jurist-

Just finished a five day jury trial with Judge Fierro-he did a fabulious job in keeping the lawyers, jury and litigants focused. This judge is fair and decisive. Wish they were all like him!

Although a senior judge now, he likes to hear himself speak. Often cranky and wants to get the last word. Retire means retire and not come back to torture litigants.

If we had the right to recuse one judge from all of our cases, I would choose this judge. He is sadistic and doesn't hesitate to humiliate experienced lawyers in a room full of attorneys and litigants. He is notorious for trying to avoid work by trying to have everything heard by the general magistrates.

Judge Fierro is all sweetness and light as long as you are handling an uncontested divorce or announcing a settlement. Once there is work to do, he turns mean. Nasty to litigants and lawyers, lazy, and unable to write a simple order without blatant errors. He should retire and spend his valuable time doing other things.
