I Was Totally Shocked… Judge Ortiz Granted My Case w/Total Professionalism.
I’ve been Hurting w/Chronic Pain for Close too, if Not Over 10 yrs now. This is after a 2000lb beam Dropped, (on the Job) Snatching my entire Shoulders & All w/it!
Neck back Shoulders are All Permanently Damaged. I’ve been Denied So Many times
Since? I’ve lost my Dad, Oldest Sister, Mother & 2 Uncle’s in 3yrs… I am SO alone.
I Never had time to Ever Really Mourn their Deaths…
Thank GOD 🙏 for Judge Ortiz! Bcse Of Him, Now I will be able too do So in Pain, but w/o worrying Abt my lights being cut off!
GOD BLESS YOU Judge. And May GOD Judge You, as You have Me, in this time of Pain, Need & Sorrow… You’ve brought a piece of Mind, & Happiness…
This Is My Prayer 🙏!
GOD BLESS YOU!
Treated my case professionally and gave me a full approval. If you make sure you have all your Dr. information documented and get at least 1 Doctor to agree that you are permanently disabled you should be ok. In my case I had 2 Board Certified Doctors fill out forms in agreement with my diagnosis of full disability along with may years of Doctor visits and surgeries. Bottom line if you take the time to get the medical documentation in order this Judge is fair (in my opinion).

He denied my father for social security when he CLEARYLY needs it! Provided his medical history and had a medical professional at the court hearing stating he cannot hold a full time job. My father can barely stand for more than 15 min due to his back. Very unfair for him as my father has worked his entire life and now when he needs help, he gets a slap in the face. This denial is based off opinion and not FACTS! This is so unfortunate to the people that actually need the help.
Very professional, very fair and courteous.
