Due to a workplace injury I ended up in Judge Gillis’ courtroom seeking Social Security Disability. In the workers compensation system nobody cares about your health, your feelings, or your case. I was expecting something similar. I was absolutely shocked that Judge Gillis wanted to hear from me. She asked me many questions. By the third or fourth question I realized she had really done her homework and reviewed my file. She allowed me to answer her completely and listened to my responses. She comes across as someone who may actually care about her job and the people she encounters. In this era that is something very special. Disabled people seem to be the forgotten marginalized group. Judge Gillis definitely sees you and listens.
Excellent experience with this judge
I was so thankful when my attorney gave me the news before my hearing that my ALJ was someone “very measured, very fair.” I mean, who wouldn’t want their hearing judge to be measured & fair? Sara Gillis turned out to be that & more! And while I haven’t yet received a decision in my case, I wanted to post this, if for no other reason than to ease someone’s fears. The unknown can be the hardest part of the whole appeal process, and I’m thankful that Sara Gillis was my hearing judge.
