Judge west was very fair and helpful in my hearing he is good for ssa disability hearings
I heard so many good stories about him and him being fair.. had my hearing in July and today was told denied .even with dire need questions…single mother in remission of cancer and alot of other health issues….i am not able to work….for my health issues……im extremely disappointed in this system.. i hope no-one is ever in my shoes…..
All the pain my family have been through. He listen to me. And seem to know about my condition. I was very nerves at first but he made me feel that he was going to look at my medical record. Regardless what happens i like to thank everone in Ssa for there hard work. From beginning to end. Thank you !
Judge Richard West was incredible. He understood the problems I have and the disability it was causing me. He listened, understood, and was extremely knowledgeable about my situation. This means he read my files and understood what was going on with me before I walked into his room. The SSA is lucky to have him on the bench!
Compassionate and professional Judge! Very efficient and kind!
Judge west was very professional and fair, he really made the procedure go smoothly and made me feel comfortable
I had my hearing recently with Judge West, and I found him to be fair, considerate, and sympathetic to my situation.
I had my hearing on febuary 11, 2015 with judge west . He was a nice man who seemed to be compassionate . He made me feel at ease with my extreme anxiety
Judge west was fair ,thorough, and a true asset to the SSA.
