Judge Albert J. Velasquez listened to me and was very straight forward. I believe he asked all the questions that needed to be asked that were important to my case. I was very nervous and scared due to the fact of already being denied twice. Thankfully he did a great job and saw the facts and medical evidence that was able to help me win my case. I can not thank him enough for being so understanding and helping me get the benefits that I deserve. This will definitely take a lot of stress off of me. I appreciate all that he has done for me and I couldn’t have asked for a better judge. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
His decision to deny mine was a complete lie. Stated things in the report that were not true, lied about things that I did not say during the interview. said I did things during the interview that I did not do.
Great guy,very outspoken and asks whatever is on his mind to ask,friendly personality easy going,makes you feel comfortable about answering and him asking you questions,and repeating questions if you dont understand them!GREAT GUY#THANKS 4YOUR TIME IN ADVANCE
Thank you judge VELASQUEZ for giving me another hearing. My lawyer was not very well prepared and had me earning another persons wages. Thankfully judge Velasquez saw this. Thank you very much!
Been looking forward to a disability hearing since June, 2014… Been looking forward to Seeing You since May, 2016. Notified in May, 2016 of August 9, 2016 Hearing with You. Lawyer, Scott Lewis, hired in January , 2015, CANCELLED HIS HELP/APPEARANCE on July 11, 2016, less than 30 days until hearing. I have been cheated/Punked out of years of exepected legal help at Zero Hour!! I have been forced to postpone my long-awaited 9-9-16 hearing for a months later date due to poor legal representation. I pray for your help in my future hearing date, and I pray you help others in my difficult situation by removing Scott Lewis as attorney and not penalizing clients for their ignorance in hiring Scott Lewis as their Disability Attorney. He is, Unfortunately, an irresponsible attorney and no fault of the uneducated clients….
I found Judge Velasquez to be very personable, and friendly. A very nice judge who listened intently, and had my best interest at heart. In my opinion, I wish there were more judges like him!
Can occasionally be rude to claimants, but over the years has evolved into one of the better and more fair ALJs. Will give bench decisions.
