K. Michael Moore

This Judge actions raise serious concerns regarding bias, racial insensitivity, and a blatant disregard for the well-being of defendants and their families. Judge Moore has a troubling reputation among attorneys, who have dubbed him "Maximus" due to his excessively harsh and uncompromising sentencing practices. His tendency to rush through cases without proper consideration of individual circumstances—especially concerning first-time offenders—demonstrates a lack of empathy and judicial fairness. This approach not only fails to serve justice but also inflicts significant harm on the families and communities of those affected. The atmosphere of fear he creates among legal professionals undermines the integrity of the judicial process. Attorneys are reluctant to advocate vigorously for their clients, fearing retribution in the form of even harsher sentences. This climate of intimidation is incompatible with the principles of an impartial and just legal system.

Finally saw a defendant get their just reward. We were thrilled that this judge saw through their BS before and at trial. Lying cheating and stealing their entire life- and finally will be paying for their crime. I can almost guarantee that any person charged with fraud- that will have NOT been that person’s first time committing fraud, it’s just the first time they were caught.

I'm not sure why this judge would not recuse himself from Case #22cv14085 when he presided over #11cv14306 involving same subject property at 1701 SW Palm City Road, Stuart wherein the record demonstrates that City of Stuarts counsel Robert Kilbride perjured himself to prevail in that litigation?? This was brought to the court's attention in March 2022 as it clearly creates an issue on appeal.....Moore should not preside
