Had a court hearing with this douche bag,went to their dr for cumulative exam and xrays for my back,dr said yes your definatly disabled,and have the docs to boot he went with a unfavorable decision.I dont get how so many low lifes can screw the system,but when it comes to someone who is actually disabled and need to provide for my family,im denied.Its all about the money!!! Political Bullshit!!!!!
I’d give him zero stars, but at least he let me speak. I’ll put it this way, Judge Vodak already has his mind made up before you enter the room. You can be sincere, truthful and completely open and it will not sway him at all. I have had the same disease for ten years and have now been kicked off disability with no hope of being able to find much less hold one of the jobs recommended. Best of luck to you if you draw him for your hearing. You better be missing a leg to get any sympathy from this judge.
I had Judge Kevin Vodak for my disability hearing on October 7, 2015. He seems very nice. I do not know the outcome yet but, I am hoping for an approval ,of course. I will be happy to tell you a few things I saw in him as the hearing was in action. He seemed very well spoken. He seemed very in tune and interested in hearing what I had to say. He had a very nice composure and made me feel like a person not just a case. I wanted him to understand my pain but of course that is impossible to do. He did seem like he had empathy though and I really appreciated him taking the time to hear me and my case and not just dismiss me and make me feel like nothing. I already feel like nothing because I have lost so much of “me” in my new world of pain . No one has to remind me. Overall I thought it went well. He seemed like a very nice Judge.
