Judge Pendola is very nice. He was patient, compassionate, funny and was very attentive. He doesnt try to trip you up with unfair questions. He’s patient and a good listener. I was a nervous wreck but his calm and soothing voice put me a little bit more at ease. Since all my medical records didnt come in he gave me another hearing so he can review all records. I believe he is a really fair judge that wants to look at all evidence to help in his decision.
