Judge Venzer is a great judge who I have been assigned to several times. She takes her job very seriously and performs it with integrity. I've only seen lawyers get on her bad side when they've attempted to pull a fast one on her. If you you're doing an honest job she'll treat your fairly. Very intelligent and down to earth individual.

Without question the worst Circuit Court Judge in Miami-Dade, and most down there are a close second. If she is ever assigned to your case, run and run fast. Uses her bench as a throne. Does not enforce or rule on the law. She creates it as she goes along, especially when one of the lawyers before her is a "friend" or "friend of a friend". Very politically motivated.

She is an idiot. She pretends to listen to your case and at the last minute changes everything she said. If she wasn't :in bed" with a couple other judges she wouldn't know what she would do? She is biased and prejudiced and shouldn't be on the bench.

Not very intelligent. She once stated to me that the case law I was citing in a civil was old, although there were no new cases on the issue and the issue was settled law.

Takes sides instead of being impartial.

Can be come rude and opinionated when you advocate for your client.

She was appointed and got the position due to her step father Retired Judge Richard Yale Feder.

Another one who should not be judging others.

Not very bright. Highly opinionated. Gets very nasty if you piss her off.

Judge Venzer is one of the brighter judges in Dade County. She takes her job seriously and expects the same from lawyers who appear before her. Expect a fair shake. And, I agree, don't mess with her.

Very outspoken. Very smart. Don't mess with her -- she is too smart for that.
