in response to #fl2844 please read the other comments left by others about judge manno-shurr. So, once again she is the worst judge in any courtroom in any state, that I have ever been in front of in my life.

Lasst commentator has the percentages wrong. She doesn't know what she's doing 99% of the time; the reaining 1% is luck. Rarely shows up, works short hours, and signs ANYTHING placed in front of her. Picks sides without reading the materials, and does not understand anything she reads. Folks, it doesn't get much worse than this.

She does not know what she is doing 90% of the time. She is unorganized and appears confused.
This is typical for valerie.

A true diva narcissist and a scary reflection of the Miami-Dade court system to have this frightful person sitting as a judge. Clueless, arrogant and undignified to serve in this position. Should be removed.

To add to the last comment, she spent $250,000.00 of her own (husband's money)to run for a job that pays $140K? Something stinks. Her husband is a loser weasel that can't even try his own cases.

Judge Manno Schurr does not have a clue even if it were to be staring her right in the face when it comes down to Family Court matters. She is INCOMPETENT as they come and should not be serving as a judge much less anything else in the Miami-Dade Court system. She is bias, unprofessional in addition to being derelict in her decisions.The most ARROGANT judge I've ever encountered. With JUDGES like her everyone should fear the worst, especially when dealing with children. If you don't believe me, ask Victor Barahona; the surviving child from the nightmare Judge Manno-Schurr allowed to happen.

Its a pleasure to have a judge that actually reads the motions and is prepared.

Comments:
Last comment sounds like it was written by the judge or her lawyer spouse. It bears no correlation to reality. This judge's only concern is her wardrobe, and the perks that come with the job, including people bowing and scraping, and her days off. She is an absolute disaster.

Evenhanded, will read all momoranda and or caselaw given to her, patient and alows both sides to be heard. In my appearances before her, win or lose, I have always been treated fairly. I respectfully disagree with the other comments.

She makes up for utter incompetence with intolerable arrogance. Ran for office with zero experience and is now an apparent expert on all subjects by virtue of her robe. Takes any effort to educate her as an insult and a question to authority. The worst possible type of judge. Stay away at all costs.
