I have 2 metal plates and 10 metal screws in my back. This judge has denied me so many times and the last time I was in the court room with him he had no idea what I was talking about and I was in there for about 5 minutes because he was in a hurry to go to Wendover.
I hope one day this judge gets the same treatment that he is giving all of us. If he was dieing for a drink of water I wouldn’t give him the sweat off my balls.
This judge is a waste of our good air. I have a stimulater in my back, I have metal in my back and both of my shoulders are metal and that peace of shit denied me 10 times. This so called judge needs to go to hell.
Well my attorney was right. He denied my case again. I wish they would give me a new judge or it goes to federal court. What he doesn’t understand he’s not really a good storytelling. You know where his stories are going but my first mistake was when I first met him I said if for some reason you think there are more people out there that need it worst I will understand. I’m so sorry I’m a truthful person. I tell him I don’t remember much back in 2016. He doesn’t know me I’m just a number. I’ve been through hell and back but the lord needs me here for some purposes. I’m a true believer in karma. I truly don’t like it but it does happen. I don’t wish any harm on nobody. I just hope that one day he will understand that there are people out there that truly need financial help. I cannot work. Paper doesn’t do justice. I have been through my husband’s motorcycle accident and changes to him physically. To my physical conditions. Yes I got big. But depression is not a joke. I want to enjoying life to live day by day is truly hard. I loved working. I’m a people person. But I don’t think this judge takes mental illness seriously. I lost all of that when things started happening to me mentally and physically. My kids have never had a family vacations. My husband won’t leave our home for a day. He has medical issues. I ended up with a hole in my lower back and they tried there best to fill it in. But now I have scar tissue in that hole which hits my sciatic nerves and they will not do another surgery one reason scar tissue grows back and there afraid that it will end up worst. Second I might still have infection in my spine. I meet with 3 doctors that would read my chart and say sorry there is nothing we can do for you. I just had another CT scan and the issue i had the surgery in the first place is back just like it was before surgery. I woke up not being able to move going to the er where they made the decision about surgery. That’s a little bit of my issues. So please say a prayer or two for me and my family. That life will get better soon. You can knock me down but I get up slowly and try again. I hope we get a new judge that doesn’t see life only on paper. But truly understand mental health issues are real. And yes I said I’m not suicidal but why because I believe in my faith and I will go when he says it’s time. But mental health is strong so will see who wins at the end.

I never could imagine one judge has your life in his hands. He is a very nice judge when your talking to him but some how my attorneys that they appoint to help you make the process easier has never been in my favor. But your comments are right he already makes up his mind before the cases starts. I was suppose to have a different judge this time. So I thought I had a chance. My case sat on the edge of the desk of the last person representing me for two years. I tried to get a hold of them but nobody would call me or email me anything until I said I was gettidisabilityng a new lawyer. Then I was just told the people on my case were fired and they didn’t know what was going on with my case. So I wrote a letter and got a new lawyer. I had all my documents that I was told to have ready. My lawyer said everything was sent to the judge and we were ready. Well not the case I am totally confused but my lawyer decided he needed another letter from my doctor. Something about 2016. No clue the judge was not happy at all. But at the end of the hearing the judge said well Mrs. Duncan Good news is this time I can Approve your case or stick to my original decision. I haven’t even received my denial letter yet but my attorney doesn’t think I got it. I’ve been trying since 2012.I can’t remember much of 2016 I had pneumonia twice and was incubated both times so my brain is foggy. I lost a lot of memory. plus my Back Surgery gone bad and almost died twice due to a major infection which made a hole in my back and I was in the bed for a year. Now the problem was never fixed and no doctor in Utah will touch me I’m high risk. But it doesn’t seem to matter. When your told in front of the judge you can’t work anywhere That doesn’t matter either. When his mind is made up. I so pray the lord has me in his hands for the next fight to come.
A family friend who has been a hard working man his whole life but can no longer work, appeared in front of Judge Mitchell, who proceeded to rule that a list of disabilities two pages long were not really impairments to his working. This man’s poor family now can’t make ends meet. Judge Mitchell … we will all meet THE judge one day.
Five star was wrong hes a 0 star but have to give 1 for comment
He should not be a law judge he is a joke and unfair and thinks he has Same problems and bases his wrong decisions from that . he does not consider medical records but only his childish questions.
This corrupt judge is a Cluster B personality disorder psychopath who did a long distance hearing with a broken disabled man. He was 1/2 hour late, then treated it like a joke with disgusting behaviour. He already had decided to deny the man, but was rude and condescending to him. He printed Libellous slander on the “unfavourable” decision and is guilty of malfeasance and misconduct.
