My hearing was held May 31st. Judge Olarsch was very kind and understanding of my disability. I suffer from myasthenia gravis, restless leg syndrome and anxiety. I’ve waited almost 3 years and have been unemployed. I hope I hear a decision soon.
My hearing with Honorable Judge Leonard was held April 20th. As a younger 32y/o gay male with mental illness, I was anticipating on being looked down on by a male judge. However, Judge Leonard was extremely fair and compassionate with me. Speaking out on sensitive and embarrassing topics was tough but he would tell me take a minute and not apologize for crying spells. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for my fully favorable decision and kind deameor.
I had my hearing on 12/10/14 with Judge Olarsh. Within minutes he made me less anxious and had no issues with me standing at times. He’s a true professional who asks all pertinent questions about your claim record and gets straight to the point. I Know how important it is to be truthful and credible in your responses and I was. I knew in my heart that Judge Olarsh would make a fair decision and he did!
Fully Favorable on 1/9/15!!!! Waited since 2011 and couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you!
