A hack, intellectually dishonest and zero desire to do justice, plus he let's his JA run his chambers like it's her personal fifedom, he needs to retire and let a more energetic jurist take his place.09/30/2025 07:48 AMContact reviewer

Smug and peremptory, he fancies himself a legal scholar but is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is. At the first hearing in the case I knew I would be appealing. He's held the same judgeship for decades and is probably disill...Read More09/25/2025 04:19 PMContact reviewer

I made one comment about Judge Lopez and came back due to curiosity to find that my script about my experience with Judge Lopez was trifled with and what I had said had been mixed around and about...Read More10/15/2024 10:56 PMContact reviewer

129204LitigantNo RatingPrejudicial prejudice to this female pro se litigant, fearful of eye contact, smirks & stacks papers already stacked, ignored objections, refused 4-written recusals, asking a Defendant, "What are you doing here? She replied "I'm a...Read More10/15/2024 03:51 PMContact reviewer

In our particular case the judge seemed arrogant to openly hostile and uncaring even a touch of arrogance and anger as could care less, openly prejudiced against pro se litigants. We knew in a second we'd be appealing whatever his...Read More10/15/2024 03:48 PMContact reviewer
125730LitigantNo RatingThis judge moonlights as a law professor at St. Thomas University. He is easily intimidates even by self-represented litigants yet bullies when he believes he can without any repercussion. He has tried to get appointed to higher...Read More03/07/2024 11:38 AMContact reviewer

Don't understand the last comment since I've always found this judge to be very well-prepared, fair, and reasonable. He is usually early and ready to start before the time for hearing.02/28/2015 05:01 PMContact reviewer

One of the worst judges in Dade County. Showed up to Court late, read over the parties' motions hastily, and ruled without allowing argument of counsel. He does not listen to counsel but instead argues with counsel in an attempt...Read More10/04/2014 10:06 PMContact reviewer

Very astute & well prepared. Just make sure you have your ducks in a row. If you don't, he'll pleasantly, but sternly deny the relief you seek. One of Miami's best.04/28/2012 07:25 AMContact reviewer

I had the pleasure of being in front of Judge Lopez recently when he came in to take over Judge Esquiroz's division. While I was not always successful on my motions, I found him to be always well prepared, having a thorough grasp ...Read More08/19/2011 12:23 PMContact reviewer

I haven't had criminal experience with Judge Lopez, but I was always happy to be in front of him when he was in civil. Smart and one of the best. He remembers cases that have been before him and he's fair.11/10/2008 03:32 PMContact reviewer

Lopez must have written the last review about himself. Is he serious? He is not very bright, and he is certainly not even close to being one of the best. His rulings lack basic insight into the law.11/02/2007 03:32 PMContact reviewer

He is one of the best judges in Miami-Dade County. It was a huge loss to the civil division when he was transferred to the criminal division. Judge Lopez is worthy of being a Federal Judge. If you end up in front of him, be pre...Read More10/25/2007 11:06 AMContact reviewer
