Total piece of crap
This guy is a piece of crap. I have severe depression/anxiety/paranoia and he turned me down. Not to mention that i have been going to psychs since i was 21. I am almost 60 and had to retire from a good job because of this.It took this arshole 8 months to give me a rejection notice too.He outed me for being transgender also which wasn’t necessary cause he already knew i was. I wish i could put a machine to his brain and give him all my problems then he would see how severe my problems are. Never mind my aunts grandkid get on disability for being bi-polar and then graduates from college and has over 500 friends on facebook.Then she has art shows to sell he ”works”.She is also in her early 30’s!
Judge Gerard Langan is more than fair in his cases !! Not because I won but because of his fairness. He listens with intent to your problems…and I believe he fully understands them. He is definitely in the right position !!!
I don’t have a decision yet.. my hearing was just yesterday, but I can’t thank this judge enough for granting me to have my hearing closer to home VS the couple hours drive. I believe he is very understanding, and caring towards the situations of who goes in front of him.
I HAD A STROKE AUG 2009, FILED FOR DISABILITY SEPT 2009, APPEARED BEFOR HIM IN FEB 2010, RESULTS CAME LATER I WAS DENIED, REPORT STATED I COULD WORK BUT THE PERSON HE HAD OVERSEEING RULIENG TOLD HIM SHE FELT I COULD NOT WORK . APPEALED AND APPEALED AGAIN, AND WAS REFUSED ALL THREE TIMES. I GUESS WORKING TWO TO THREE JOBS FOR 40 YEARS MAKES IT THAT YOU CAN NOT GET BENEFITS YOU NEED , AM WITHOUT A JOB SINCE 2009
YES THE JUDGE IS VERY POLITE AND RUNS PROCEEDINGS ACCORDINGLY,
I just went before the Judge on 3/21 and I have to say I thought he was pleasant and appeared to be understanding. I liked the way he proceeded through the hearing, and hope he will give me a favorable decision.
As the last pople said judge langan is fair. If you have all the medical evidence to back you up and are honest he will most likely approve your case. I would say judge langan is the fairest of all other judges in the odar wilkes-barre office. He was a lawyer previously to becoming an alg, so he has a true interest in the people. And yes, I am a claimant who was in front of judge langan and he approved me.
I 100% agree with Mr. Gallo
this judge is the most fair judge in the SS system.. I have not appeared before him , but know him from his previous position with O’malley law firm.. he has concern for people & famlies.. I am so glad he is in a position, to evaulate, peoples needs on a fair level.. I am sure he will be an asset to the ss system
