Because that’s what YALL want to happen now
Good morning if you didn’t understand what I was trying to say pull my appeal been trying to get my disbilty approved I work my ass off for it and March 5 2020 denied again I going to appeal until the day I die you denied me again
I didn’t understand nothing she was saying! I pray I don’t die before my case is done! And I couldn’t even see her on the screen to far back and didn’t understand that! My case is bad and pray I get the help I need!
She’s a racist and liar.
She’s racist
Judge Patricia Melvin didn’t have updated information and refused to consider it after I paid for it and sent it to her. She was rude and uncaring . Because of her my son can’t see the doctor and get his meds . He is on 9 different meds and we can’t afford to buy them . I wish there was something I could do to make her accountable for his doctor visits and meds
Bases cases on her personal opinions and not the facts of the case. Someone’s sexual relationship or personal appearance shouldn’t be a a factor on a mental disability case
Very good judge
I have had one hearing with this judge. She does ask most of the questions. Also she understands claimant’s “most of them” continue care and wants the file updated before she decides. With that said I believe she reads the whole file. Doesn’t require an opening statement. Seems like most judges do not require it or don’t want to waste there time with the rep stating what they have already read. Practice tip: But you must always be prepared to open so you don’t look like an idiot.
Really nice judge asks most of the questions ensure that all medical records are in
