He seemed fair and very attentive. I honestly pray I am awarded my disability. He was kind and he explained every detail.
I haven’t gotten my decision in full yet. But I think no matter what Judge Battles is a good human. He listened to me. He was empathetic and he heard me. That is worth so much to have someone acknowledge how great the pain is. How much you struggle and to hear someone say I’m sorry that happened to you was incredible. He showed human kindness something so rare these days. He treated me like a person. The lawyer who dumped me 3 weeks before my hearing had scared me saying not to open up to give terse responses that judges don’t care. Maybe most don’t but it felt like judge battles did.
I concur with the accurate reviews of The Honorable Judge Brian Battles. Judge Battles truly ” understands the pain of others” etc. Not only does Judge Battles attains a profound knowledge of law in SSA but is by far the most genuine, professional, compassionate Judge ever came upon. SSA and the world truly needs more Judges like him. God bless him!
good lawyer and perfectly understands the pain of others and the need
I’m not sure what the outcome of my case will be but I’m relieved that he listen and showed interest in my testimony. That mean a lot to me because my experience with judges in my past were not compassionate. His tone with me during my hearing helped me relax a little. Although this situation is very stressful I just thank God that I didn’t have a rude Judge.
I went in front of this judge today and he seemed to be very fair and considerate
