LITERALLY GAVE LEGAL ADVICE TO PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY ON HOW TO BEAT ME! Filing JQC complaint next. Shows no respect for attorneys. Agree with previous assessments that he is abusive and needs disbarred and anger management. Clearly had not read Defendants pleadings nor review exhibits which completely refuted PLAINTIFFS claims on its face nor was he well versed in the applicable FL statutes on the issue. CITED zero authority for his ruling when point blank asked to do so as the matter was clear on its face in favor of defendant. He attacked both attorneys when judge decided to move on to future matters not noticed for this hearing and started directing how WE SHOULD handle those as well, ADVISING PLAINTIFF counsel to amend his MSJ ENTIRELY to not just be partial but to include all counts....and admonishing DEFENDANT counsel when she said she would then need the statutorily provided time to AMEND Her response accordingly. He said there is no reason you would need time to do so. Cut off everyone while talking. Did not hear more than 6 seconds of the 30 minute motion or response.

Judge Edmond Alonzo should be removed from the bench. My family had numerous evidence of the landlord’s breach of contract, negligence of property, and violent threats and despite this, this monstrous judge evicted us and denied reconsideration. I am seeing this has been a reoccurrence in his of service and it is blatant injustice that he is still even allowed to wear his title.

Judge Edmond Alonzo is hands down the worst judge and should be fired immediately. He evicted my family and I from a property, never took the time to read any of the dismissals or responses. We overpaid our landlord because our credit is not the best - so in order for us to ensure we could move into the property that's what we agreed to. We paid 8 months upfront, and our lease started in November. So not only did we get wrongfully evicted from the property, the landlord also stole over $20,000 of our money. Now we have 3 days to move all of our belongings. So, we have no money (since the landlord stole it all) my family including two kids is about to be homeless... all thanks to Edmond Alonzo. Thanks for making us homeless, thanks for not doing your job properly, thanks for letting a slumlord steal over $20,000 of our hard-earned money and thanks for putting an illegal eviction on our records for 7 years. You truly are a horrible human being.

Judge Alonzo is the worst judge that I have been in front of in 21 years of practicing. The fact that is on the bench should be a crime in and of itself. He completely ignored the applicable statutes in an eviction matter and awarded possession to the landlord. In his Judgment of Final Eviction, he did not explain his reasoning, he entered Final Judgment without a hearing, and denied my Motion to Stay pending appeal in a one sentence order . . . of course without a hearing. Not to mention, threw my clients out on the street without returning five months of advance rent that he permitted the Plaintiff to keep. HE IS A MONSTER AND SHOULD BE COLLECTING GROCERY CARTS IN A PUBLIX PARKNIG LOT NOT SITTING ON THE BENCH.

Judge Alonzo has had ex-parte communications with Lieutenant King from the Sherrif’s office and according to Officer King he (the judge) has already agreed ro rule against me even thought no paperwork has been filed yet and there is no court case on file! I called his judicial office upon learning about the aforementioned and his JA put me on hold and then he (judge Alonzo) picked up the phone to talk to me… he clearly knew who I was when I called despite the fact that I have never appeared in his court nor do I have a case yet… I will make sure this judge is disqualified from any involvement regarding my case.

In the case of Margareto Lopez-Moreno's animal abuse trial, If this judge thinks that this was just training gone awry, then he is not only blind but an idiot. Every person deserves a vigorous defense and the people deserve a judge who can see through the BS that the defendant's lawyer throws at him. In this case, judge alonzo is covered with it so thick that he can't see what is obvious to everyone else. The man is beating his animals.

Based on the comment from 6/4/18, maybe this judge thinks that abusive behavior is excusable and doesn't have to be punished, just go to anger management and everything will be fine. The defendant clearly has anger issues but was committing a crime that was caught on tape and he should have been punished for it.

Any judge who would refuse to remove the animals from Margaret Lopez Moreno is a monster himself. You are not fit to wear the robe much less render judgements. If that video was not irrefutable proof of abuse I don’t know what is. Those dogs are clearly terrified of him which shows he’s been abusing them all along. What is wrong with you?

Judge Alonzo is a very knowledgeable judge but he has a very bad temper and becomes abusive at times. He's punctual and makes fair rulings but he needs to be more civil when on the bench.
