Rating:9.6

Comments:
One of Florida's pre-eminent judges. He is fair, balanced, fixated on following the law as written in light of facts presented. Makes legitimate, honest rulings on evidentiary matters. It would be a shame to lose Judge Myers at the trial court level, but he ought to be promoted to the Fifth DCA.

Rating:1.0

Comments:
Judge Donald A Myers attempts to legislate law rather than interrupting and applying it equally to all. He misuses his power of orders over the law. He uses tactics of threat extortion and intimidation to enforce his otherwise illegal unfounded orders and to avoid their challenge for the interest of justice by his colleagues.

I am a 35+ year civil trial lawyer, who knew Judge Myers as a practicing trial lawyer and who has appeared before him numerous times as a judge. He is as fine a judge as we have ever had in Orange County. He is extremely fair and even handed towards all involved. And, he is as prepared and naturally intelligent as any judge I have ever appeared before, and I have appeared all over the country. I am honored to have appeared before such a fine judge and even better human being.

Horrible; shows blatant bias that favors women. Takes the words of litigants he favors without any evidence whatsoever. Intimidates lawyers he does not like. Will not listen.
This is a very scary judge.

Comments:
I appeared before Judge Myers on very sad family/probate case involving emergency custody of a toddler whose mother was slain by the child's biological father. I can say unequivocally that Judge Myers was expeditious, fair, and compassionate. He most certainly had the child's best interests in mind while allowing due process to take place under these very tough circumstances. He is a credit to the bench.

Judge Myers is an excellent judge who is very fair to all parties involved and rules as he believes the law requires him to rule. He is very open to being educated on the law applicable in the case, and I couldn't give him higher ratings.

Comments:
Judge Myers is one of, if not the brightest judges in the Ninth Judicial Circuit. All parties leave feeling the law was decided based on facts and application of those facts to the law - not personal bias, motivation or ignorance of what the law requires.

Excellent and unbiased judge. This is exactly the type of judge that we need on the bench. He is well prepared for hearings and trials and does not put with games. Protects our tax dollars by moving cases along.

Judge Myers is a judge with actual trial experience. He did not make the choice to become a judge for the purposes of seeking a pay raise. A true asset to the people and families of Central Florida. I had the pleasure of knowing him well before he became a judge and I can say that that I felt bad for the people who could no longer be represented by him but felt happy for the people of Central Florida for having received such a selfless, educated and fair judge.

Poor listener, lacks comprehension and empathy. Should not be a judge. Does not have "the childs best interest" when making life altering decisions. Does not take his time to make informed decisions.
