I’m curious if any applicants, brought witnesses to your hearing? I have witnesses lined up on my behalf to bring when I get a hearing date.
CHARLES MURRAY WAS VERY UNFAIR IN MY CASE. HE WOULD ASK ME A QUESTION AND THEN CUT ME OFF. MURRAY HAD A HORRIBLE ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME AND SMIRKED HIS LIPS UP AS IF HE KNOWS EVERYTHING! I HAVE ALL OF THE EVIDENCE NEEDED THAT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN ME APPROVED FOR DISABILITY BUT MURRAY DIDN’T GO BY THE EVIDENCE. MURRAY MADE HIS “UNFAVORABLE DECISION” FROM HIS PATHETIC ATTITUDE. I WOULDN’T GIVE MURRAY 1 STAR BECAUSE HE DOESN’T DESERVE IT. A HORRIBLE JUDGE, A HORRIBLE PERSON AND I KNOW WHAT HE DID TO ME WAS WRONG, GOD KNOWS AS WELL. MURRAY SAW ALL OF THE EVIDENCE AND STILL DENIED ME. I’VE TALKED WITH SEVERAL ATTORNEYS AND THEY EACH SAID THAT MURRAY WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE HIS DECISION BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND THAT MURRAY CLEARLY WAS UNPROFESSIONAL, ABUSED HIS POWER AND SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO BE A JUDGE SINCE HE IS LETTING HIS PATHETIC ATTITUDE MAKE HIS DECISIONS FOR HIM INSTEAD OF BEING PROFESSIONAL AND JUDGING PEOPLE BY THE EVIDENCE. I TOTALLY AGREED WITH THE ATTORNEYS. BEWARE OF CHARLES MURRAY EVERYONE AND JUST KNOW THAT IF HE SMIRKS UP HIS LIPS OR RUDELY CUTS YOU OFF, YOU’RE DENIED! I HAVE SEVERE PTSD, SEVERE PANIC DISORDER, ANXIETY DISORDER, OCD, SEVERE DEPRESSION AND DISSOCIATION. ALSO, DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE AND AN L5 SLIPPED DISC. EVEN THE STATES PSYCHIATRIST DIAGNOSED ME WITH ALL OF THESE DIAGNOSES BUT NASTY MURRAY ABUSED HIS POWER AND POSITION TO REJECT ME FROM ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT MURRAY LOSES HIS JOB AND EVERYTHING HE OWNS!! I’VE LOST SEVERAL JOBS BECAUSE OF MY PROBLEMS AND I’VE LOST EVERYTHING I OWNED! MURRAY HAS HELPED DESTROY MY LIFE AND I HOPE THAT THIS HORRIBLE, SO CALLED JUDGE LOSES EVERYTHING HE OWNS!
Judge S Charles Murray already had his mind made up before he held my hearing. I wasdenied by this Judge. Judge Murray is supposed to look at the evidence in my case and make a decision but instead, he acted as a doctor and a psychiatrist himself. I have 6 diagnosis from 2 psychiatrists, one being the states psychiatrist. I have severe PTSD, anxiety, severe panic attacks, depression, ocd and dissociation. This judge wasn’t fair at all and kept cutting me off when i spoke about my problems. I didn’t like how he smurked his lips up either. I’ve lost numerous jobs because of my problems. I have many issues daily as well but this judge said he believes I’m making all of this up. I sure wish that Murray could stay here with me for a few days to see for himself. If he did, he would immediately change his verdict and attitude. I don’t appreciate the unfairness of this judege nor do i appreciate his attitude. Murray gets 1 star from me because a half of a star option isn’t available.
I am praying to God that everything I have heard about Judge Murray, comes to be true. I’ve heard that he is a fair and just judge ,also a God fearing man.we need more true and honest people such as judge Murray in our government offices.You go judge Murray and God bless you and yours.
Judge Murray was very organized and concerned about my son. He is really a good judge and is fair.
The whole process was intimidating at first, but he soon made me feel very comfortable. I felt like he cold sympathize with me. Whether I approved or not, I don’t know, but he was nice.
Judge Murray was very professional I appreciate his fairness. He was complimentary to me for being a great support for my wife. Thank You
I really appriciated that he asked my daughter(who I am filing for) to leave before we talked about her condition. It’s really hard to make your kids feel as “normal” as possible then turn around and let her hear about how she will never be “normal”. The judge we had before made her stay in the room.
Seems to start every hearing with, “Now I’m a federal judge. Don’t lie to me, now. Can you be truthful?” Just be prepared for it.
Gentlemanly. Seems to have studied the file beforehand, and has more than an inkling of how to proceed to a decision.
