Diana Lee Moreland is the most EVIL WOMAN to be a so called Judge ever! She does not listen to both sides, she is a man hater, she is a cop hater. She needs to be disbared asap. She is a threat to the community because she can not be fair. This woman is evil. If you have Court with her it doesn't matter if you have an attorney to represent you or not because she has made her mind up before she steps foot in the court room. I am a woman and I can say because of Judges like her, is the reason why women should not be judges. Diana Lee Moreland is an evil woman, that judges people on a whim and doesn't decide fairly. She is a monster. She should not be a Judge. She is a complete OGAR!

This so called Judge is the WORST. She should be in JAIL, not only disbarred but in Jail. She is completely BIASED and sides with one side. She is not impartial, she is a fraud. She needs to be in JAIL,she has ruined lives. And all these posts/comments prove it. Does no one read these, and take in to consideration what she has done to families. She is a man hater first off, and I am a woman. She is a liar, she lies in court. She twists things to fit the narrative of the party that she is siding with. [Redacted by Ed.]

The worst Judge in the 12th Judicial Circuit and possibly the state of Florida. Rude, obnoxious, comes to court with her mind made up, and the law is a mere suggestion to her.

Comments:
This judge is inconsistent in her rulings not only from case-to-case where facts and issues are substantially similar to one another, but also within the same case from year-to-year. This leads to the parties never knowing what to expect in an area of the law where there really should be no surprises.

Her rulings are self-serving in that they often serve no purpose nor produce any benefit to the ward and only end up creating more cost for those involved all without addressing any real problem.

Furthermore, she inserts herself into the case as an adverse party, creating controversy where there is none and raising issues when all parties have consented to the relief sought.

Mrs Moreland is completely rude and condescending. She does not listen to anything and acts as a prosecutor rather than an impartial fact finder.

She is not fit to handle mental health cases as she lacks empathy and compassion for what many people may be experiencing. She rushes people and tries to twist words to end up being a completely different statement than what is being testified.

I suggest people who had experience this unprofessional judge to file a complaint against her by visiting the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission: https://floridajqc.com.

This woman can really destroy lives.

Being elected a judge shall not allow a judge to abuse power and show bias and predisposition based on her own opinions.

If you are dealing with Judge Diana Lee Moreland, please prepare well and have a good defense because she is plain evil.

This judge does not LISTEN, she comes into court with her mind already set in GUILTY, no matter what the facts and evidence shows. That is the total opposite of the definition of a JUDGE.

Wow. I’m shocked that this woman would be allowed to judge from the vans. She takes weeks to read motions, that take 15 minutes.
It almost seems that she’s irritated having litigants in front of her..
Seems that she does not know nearly half of what she should in representing miscellaneous guardianship cases

Beware. This Judge does not appear to understand the probate rules or statutes. She complicates matters by giving inconsistent rulings. Her office is not well managed, she takes months to do what previous judges accomplished in a week. Her temperament is not a model of judicial restraint or a model for other judges.

This Judge should be disbarred! She should’ve never been a judge to begin with. She is completely biased. She sides with one side and doesn’t listen to the other. She is a biased judge. She is the complete opposite of what a judge should be. She has ruined lives. Because she is biased. She has ruined a family because she doesn’t listen to the facts and both science of the parties. She has especially ruined children’s lives because she does not listen to the facts and because she is biased and she favors certain sides. Worst
Judge EVER!

Worst Judge I have ever encountered. She is absolutely biased. Does not listen to both sides. She does NOT listen to the facts of the case at all, ever. She makes up her mind about someone with out even listening to the details or facts about the case. She is rude and does NOT do her job. She does NOT read any pleadings or motions. She has the power of authority and that affects people’s lives and she should absolutely NOT have that power. She should have NEVER been a Judge. She is a bitter woman who does NOT know what being a Judge truly means. She abuses her power in EVERY way. A Judge should be unbiased and actually LISTEN to the facts and details of the case. This woman DOES NOT. She makes rash opinions and decisions without listening to both parties and she is ruining lives by being in her position. She has ruined families due to her biased decisions. I have first hand witnessed her harsh rulings of innocent people when she has believed lies of others which have ruined a family along with the families children because she did not listen to both sides of a case. She is absolutely harsh in her judgments and she rewards liars and people who are breaking the law. While the innocent go punished and have their lives ruined because this “judge “ doesn’t listen to both sides and makes snap judgments and favors one side over the other. She does NOT follow the rule of the Law. She is completely biased and discriminatory.
