Judge Andrew’s knew my case, asked me thoughtful questions, and made me feel comfortable. Thank you your honor!
I am writing this review before knowing whether or not I have been approved, because my approval or denial has no bearing on how this judge does his job.
Judge Andrews seems to be a very kind and understanding man. He seemed to genuinely want to understand my illness. He was very thorough in his questioning, trying to get a real sense as to how my illnesses effect my daily life.
Judge Andrews seems, from the outside at least, to be very good at his job. He is intelligent, well spoken, and very respectful. I only wish every person fighting for their disability could get such a wonderful judge.
He knows the file well and is very fair. He treats claimants fairly and with respect.
A very nice gentleman.
