Appeared before him once. Absolute garbage human being who lied about being unable to postpone a hearing (ALJs do it all the time). The statistics say it all. Truly a disgrace to the profession.
When will the final decision be mailed out to me,,,,,I’m just wondering when will I get my funds back it’s really messing me up mentally physically and emotionally it’s putting alot of stress on me not been able to do for myself……..it’s not a good feeling and I’ve been without funds for 2yrs now…….I would like to know something about my SSI benefits
I wanted to give a review of Judge Misenti before my decision came back so it could be unbiased by the results. I did not have an attorney for my case (I do not recommend this). Judge Misenti took this into account and was kind and compassionate throughout my hearing. He asked questions which seemed both relevant as well as in ways to make sure I was being truthful in my answers. The loss of one star is for two reasons for me. 1. While I do believe he gave me time to collect my thoughts throughout the hearing, I do think he may have breezed through a couple of the key sections a little quickly for knowing I did not have representation. For instance, was going to dismiss the vocational expert without having me question him. A judge knows what is important and what is not, I see no downside to taking a little extra time in those areas if needed in a non-adversarial case. And the other reason for the one star loss is his current approval percentage of cases being one of the lowest in the state. This could be due to a small sample size and/or how the cases are assigned. I would challenge Judge Misenti to adjust his interpretations of the law as well as his human empathetic decisions to be somewhat more in line with the national average. As someone who is in pain each and every day, it was certainly a worry of mine that I would not get a fair shake because I was assigned one judge vs another. That being said, I did actually feel like I was treated fairly at the hearing. Judge Misenti was personable and seemed caring. His knowledge of law was never in question. I hope for the best in the end. And thank Judge Misenti for making what was a fairly trying experience in my life as pleasant as could be expected.
THIS JUDGE HAD 5 QME REPORTS ON MY BOYFRIENS. QME ARE STATE DOCTORS WHO VOICE THEIR OPINION. THEY SAY HE WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN BECAUSE OF SPINAL STENOSIS YET THIS JUDGE TOOK THE WORD OF A DOCTOR WHO SAW HIM ONCE AND FOR 15 MINUTES. WOW I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY. HOWEVER ANOTHER PERSON WHO WENT TO HER HEARING A WEEK AFTER US GOT APPROVED AND SHE WASHES HER CAR JUST PAINTED HER HOUSE. AND PULLED ALL THE CARPET UP AND RECOLORED IT ALL AROIND 1 AM MOST TIMES. SO WHO KNOWS ITS BASED ON HOW WELL YOU ACT????

My disabled son of a Traumatic Brain Injury and left side leg, hip, arm, hand and fingers are severely stroke ridin. He has short term memory loss from head on collision which had 2 fatalities. This judge approved .y son for ssi for ONE (1) month!! How is this even possible or allowed? This judge denies more then 50% of ssi applicants. Makes me wonder how many lives he has made worse by dening their disablty ssi? This judge should be removed from this position..
My son just went infront of this judge. My son has a Traumatic brain injury and had 3 major strokes in a coma . due to strokes his left side is very stroke ridin. Leg arm and fingers.. This judge approved his SSI for 1 month.. This judge has no purpose to be in his position. Makes me wonder how many other people he has ruined by his inaccurate decisions. People who truly need ssi. For a month? How is this even possible? Why would any judge deem this ignoramus decision? Appeal again and requesting a different judge.
