These comments are interesting. A few people actually like him and think he does a good job (the winners). Then there are the “worst judge ever” and “biased and judgmental” (the losers). I have appeared before Judge Bundy several times. I haven’t always won, but I usually do. My take on him is that if the claimant is deserving, and his representative does a good job of representing him and is prepared for the hearing, he will award benefits. He doesn’t always get it right, but who does?
All in all – if you are a SS disability client – don’t go to a hearing unrepresented. If you do get representation, get referrals from lawyers or other people who have been through the process. If you find a competent SS representative and you truly fit the SS definition of disabled, you will get a fair hearing from this judge, in my experience.
I thought I’d back Mr. DeGregorio’s statements. I’ve also had the “honor” of meeting this particular judge during my last hearing. He is so biased and judgmental that he refuses to look at the FACTS and EVIDENCE in front of him. He SHOULD NOT have the power to decide the fate and/or well being of a lab rat, let alone a human being.
After having to deal with the particular ALJ twice now, I can confirm what most of the posters here have said.
This man’s action border on the criminal and hopefully someone within SSA will see this and conduct an investigation into Mr.Bundys actions.
He does not accept what a claimant’s Doctor’s say nor does he consider any MRI reports as credible either.
I wish there was a way to have this man removed and banned from ever serving in a legal position again.
And Mr. Bundy, IF you happen to read this, you know how to contact me if you want to address my grievance.But be forewarned, I do have a few choice words for you that I will refrain from publicly posting.
And if anyone else out there has had bad dealings with Judge Bundy, please post and maybe enough of us can get SSA’s attention and get Mr.Bundy put to pasture where he belongs.
This jerk is a nightmare. Fortunately, writes crap decisions that are frequently overturned. Shreveport gained and Alb. lost when this guy moved!
Made a decision based on the testimony of the expert when the expert could not say how he got his info. said the claimant twisted his doctors arm to get a statement from him. cut off the claimant when testifying about the circumstances of his depression. UNFAIR.
He is cold hearted and a big producer. He decides more cases than 95% of the other nudges. He denies most. He is so fast he makes big mistakes so he is easy to appeal.
ALJ Bundy is a biased ALJ. He has been for years and will continue as SSA has no power. He does not care about the Claimant. He is only there to protect the administration’s supposed trust fund.
HE SEEM LIKE HE REALLY CARE.
Worst judge of all time!
The states from this ALJ match up with how he conducts his hearings which are a joke. He will close hearings without allowing cross examination of the vocational expert and doesn’t pay much attention to testimoy.
