I found this judge to be fair and professional. She seemed to truly care about the individual and sought information necessary to make a determination. She seems to want to use her power to do right.
This judge is extremely dismissive of even extensive medical evidence, as well as doctors referrals. She only takes her opinion of you into account.
I am an attorney who represents clients throughout the entire state of Michigan. It has been my experience that Judge White-Richards is reasonable and fair. She has never been rude, snarky, or dismissive to a client of mine. She has always been thorough and relevant with her questioning. I trust that any claim I bring before her will be given fair and impartial consideration. The law will be fairly applied without animus. That is as much as you can ask for from a judge.
This judge bases her decisions mostly on appearance and frequently discredits evidence by their own providers as well as evidence from family members. She’s biased and ableist and does not take into account a long medical history.
