Judge Berkowitz was compassionate to my struggles and listened with care and honesty. Still waiting for decision from February so this review is before any decision. I feel he was very fair during the hearing.
Excellent Judge kind an understanding I am very thankful. He definitely do not make promises he don’t keep he is honest n fair n he takes time to listen.
What a wonderful and understanding judge the kindness that was shown to me was unreal I cannot stress enough how kind and sympathetic and respect that he had towards me and I sincerely with all my heart thank him for that
I personally found Judge Berkowitz to be a much needed breath of fresh air from the system; with regard to his attentiveness to medical information and details in general as well as commanding a strong, knowledgeable and fair appearance as a presiding judge. I waited over 2 years for the hearing; and have not yet received his ruling. But unless there are some political behind the scenes directives that I am not aware of; I anticipate a fair ruling to be handed down. Regardless of his decision; I have no obvious or apparent reason to feel as if I, or my attorney[s], were treated with anything but serious, professional, and fair consideration of our case facts by the Judge.
Judge Berkowitz was totally fair to me at my hearing , he listened to my testimony and based his decision on the MEDICAL EVIDENCE , if you are truly disabled you have nothing to worry about , if your trying to get a free ride he will sniff you out , please don’t milk the system if your able to work , SSDI is for the people like me who can’t work anymore, thanks to Mr. Berkowitz .

If you have serious epilepsy and can not drive or be on a computer for more than 20 minutes at a time w/0 a seizure. Not to mention other serious ailments. How can they deny you. After you’ve come so far…what is their reasoning…that at 50 + years old you can start all over….
I have stenosis
Seizures Grand mal and simple partial
A messed up thyroid
IBS that I know doesn’t matter but it’s debilitating
and an anxiety disorder that goes back 30 years….
I also have endometriosis which they don’t care about either….One of those male judges should try dealing with it for a month and then see if he cares. I have been denied twice…What am I doing wrong this is my last chance.
Excellent Judge he delivers what he promises very fare respectful, caring, honest, it just take patience,he will do what he promises
