Have had one hearing with this ALJ. She is pleasant and patient. She did not ask for an opening statement. She questioned the claimant generally for about 25 minutes. She did ask the VE a hypo based on less than full time sedentary work and the VE listed 3 sedentary jobs. I had to correct that on cross exam. She did not ask for closing argument. I had the impression this ALJ was fairly new to the bench. Her award rate is on the conservative side.

Judge Brower started my hearing by asking about how I was and breaking the ice with Super Bowl small talk. He asked why I thought I was disabled and I went on to explain. He sincerely viewed all the medical evidence that my lawyers turned in prior to the hearing And asked me questions about my various Dr. visits. There was some evidence and things I said, however, that did make him have some doubts about the validity of my claim. In the end he gave Me sufficient opportunity to explain myself and he took my sincerity into serious consideration in regards to making his final decision. He apologized for upsetting me emotionally and thanked me for "fighting for myself". Things look very good. He's a good and fair judge.

Please hope that you dont get this judge. He was not only arrogant but also unprofessional. Talking about the case before me and how he knows shes faking it.. That he can tell when someone is in pain. Really? How can you physically see pain. Because of this judge i am bed bound, unemployed, no income, 35 and living with my parents. Im legally disabled, yet a man with no medical degree decides if i suffer or starve. I never got to bring in my witnesses, my lawyer was unprepared, ssi never sent me to their doctors, and I couldn't even read my statement.. seam fair?? What a joke.

I recently represented a claimant before Judge Charles Brower. Judge Brower was very humane and polite to the claimant and myself. He explained the whole hearing process to the client, he then went to admit the evidence into record. He swore the claimant and VE in. He immediately interviewed the claimant, he then asked me to explain and prove on the Medical record evidence, the client's dx that meets the SSA Listing, I presented the evidence to prove dx limitations he experiences and history his symptoms. I believe this Judge was very just and willing to hear the claimant expressing himself.

Judge Brownfield was a very fair abd very informed judge. He knew what was going on with me. He had read my long file from front to back and I feel that he was fair in his decision making either way.

Was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease, anxiety, chronic depression. Worked full time, developed edema everyday. Can't afford medication, can't afford ultrasound to check progression of my disease, can't afford insurance, in my state I'm not eligible for Medicaid. Kidney doctor just says, its a progressive illness, no cure, can only monitor but before you come back, have that ultrasound. I get a bill. To bad its not free. In pain & kidney's even twitch sometimes, worst feeling but cant take pain medication because of the affects. Scared to go to sleep because I don't know if I will wake up because my kidneys have shut down, then the anxiety kicks in. I don't really even sleep anymore. I distanced myself from people & life. After waiting over two years, I was denied. Thank you Judge Brownfield for taking away two years of all the hope I had left to finally get help. Sorry, I didn't have enough paperwork and it all just seemed so "moderate" to you.

I had a hearing with Judge Brownfield and he denied my case. I am blind in one eye and has minimal vision in the left eye and can't lift my left arm and this judge says I am able to work. I can't drive due to my vision. This judge has no heart what so ever, if I get a job how am I suppose to do my job blind and can't keep up. Is he going to move and drive me to a job and do the work for me. He doesn't care about people he is only trying to make a paycheck. I have been depressed about not being able to work but I guess I will have to be dead in order to get some help. This is her sister typing for her. The state of Alabama only cares about one race of people.

This judge told my brother in law that he was stupid and he didn't care that my brother in law had Colon cancer and prostate cancer. My brother in law is having his colon and prostate removed tomorrow. We may not be smart enough to go to law school but we were brought up to know you don't disrespect someone by calling them stupid. I think this judge needs to take a good look in the mirror, he might just see stupid looking back at him. My Brother in Law will have to wear a colostomy bag and a ostomy bag........and he doesnt qualify for SSC/Disibility??? Yes sitting in a chair and judging people he would be able to work but he does construction so you tell me how he is not qualified? SMH! Very disappointed in the in the judicial process...isn't this why we pay into SSC?? this judge is cold hearted and mean. Good luck to anyone who goes before him!

Very kind and compassionate judge. Had my review in April, still haven't gotten my decision yet though but that is due to it being stuck in the ODAR office in Birmingham. When I call the ODAR office I was told they dont have any writers at this time. What I gathered from that is that even though the Judges are making a decision they are sitting in an office piling up waiting to be written up. This kind of scares me. If you are waiting after your hearing in the Birmingham are the ODAR # is 866-613-2863

What I gathered from that is that even though the Judges are making a decision they are sitting in an office piling up waiting to be written up. This kind of scares me. If you are waiting after your hearing in the Birmingham are the ODAR # is 866-613-2863

I had my hearing the first week in April, it is now 9/10/17 and still have not heard anything from ODAR. All they keep telling me is that it is in unassigned writing. Sounds like they need to hire more people to write up judges decisions.

I was setup to fall by this judge and the system, three doctors provided medical documentation, tests, ER visits, and when I was sent to the doctors/psychiatrists to anyone's surprise they thought I was good or "faking" my medical problems. The judge totally ignored everything brought forth by my doctors. I am appealing the dismissal and have requested my local congressman to help. What is amazing about all of this is my local SS case worker knows and understands my disabilities but her hands are tied, it's the group of people above her or in Baltimore, unbelievable. This judge is awful and should be held accountable. My disability should have never had to get to a hearing, and when it did, what I feared would happen, my disability being dismissed, did happen. Appeal in process but who knows when something will happen.

Dent's a lousy judge. Ignores the claimants testimony. Decisions riddled with factual inaccuracies. Denies everybody. Second lowest approval rate after the evil Colon. Statistics clearly prove that they're both biased but we can't get rid of them. So much for due process. Seems things are just getting tougher over there with he old liberals retiring and the new right wingers taking over.

I when for a hearing in June come out of the hospital at 6 am and was in the hearing for 10 AM the judge was very nice and pleasant and I understand he makes his choices based on the law. I know I am disable. I would prefer to be working because I can make more money but I can't. if the judge disagrees with me and finds I am not disable so be it. There is nothing I can I do, The only thing I wish is once the judge decides why make someone wait two more months, Judges need to be a bit more understanding that when people are sick not feeling well and the stress they have gone through to get to the point of having hearing.To leave the person hanging not knowing if they lost of won there case is just horrible. I still don't know if I won or lost, I was told if it gets sends to a writer that means you lost your case. So I can only assume I lost my case. The judge told me I would hear the first week of Sept here it is almost end of Sept I still have not heard. at this point I don't care if I won or lost I just want to put this nightmare behind me and pray to god maybe I feel better my only hope is the judge did take into consideration the grid rules in my case, I am sure he did he seem to be very good, and if I still lost well I thank him for his time in hearing my case.

I have found this judge to be extremely arrogant and dismissive of claimants. He once told a homeless client that "at least he has a tan." He also found that a schizophrenic client was able to socialize/maintain social functioning by going to church... a church he regularly attended because he thought he was Jesus. Your case could go either way- judge will often ignore numerous documents confirming disability by claiming he didn't find the claimant credible.

My name is Nancy Prohira. My sister Marsha Prohira hired Nancy Cavey to help her get on disability. After 15 months my sister (who worked 40 years at the same place) Judge Joseph Dent denied her disability. Nancy Cavey agreed with him and is not going to file for an appeal. What lawyer stabs their client in the back? Marsha was born with disabilities, she could have gotten it a long time ago. Instead she decided to get a job. The Judge Joseph Dent said that if she worked that long she could get another job! Marsha started working when she was 16 years old, because of that he said she could get a job cleaning houses! Her attorney Nancy Cavey agreed with him. She will not file for an appeal. What kind of lawyer takes the Judges side? She should have stood up for my sister, instead she stabbed her in the back!!

He denied me last year SSDI & SSI. right now I have no money income but for food stamps. I love having asthma attacks going to the library filing applications for jobs. My house has no power because I can't pay the bill. it's been 3 months since the company turned off the power. I may even loose the house because of the property taxes.

He was very kind to me, after being denied twice in the past, and he approved me with very few questions at the hearing. He is a fair judge and a good person. I do think he wants to help people and shows compassion. He had really read my records, was knowledgable about my situation and had a few questions about things. He's smarter than the other two judges I saw. Do Not Lie To Him. My lawyer advised me be as honest as I could possibly be even if it makes me look bad as being lied to or omitting things is his thing that really pisses him off. He does ask provoking questions that you may not like answering, but answer them honestly anyway. I did and I was approved, and my answers were a little embarrassing. We don't apply for disability because we're well. Good luck!

This ALJ barely even looked at me during my hearing (June 2012) and never reviewed any medical findings after July 2011, which confirm my diagnosis. Also he basically said I was a liar and therefore denied me any disability benifits at all. I am on 19 prescribed medications, I can barely function while taken them, they have impaired my thinking skills. I also have hyper somnia, means I sleep for hours at any given time of day, but somehow that evidence was not in his report. If I was pushed in to the hearing in a wheel chair with drool hanging from my mouth, maybe he would believe me. But since I am an upbeat person ( to hide all the crap on the inside)he sees me as functional. I have good days and I have bad days , some days I have no pain and other days all I have is pain. I'm a mixed bag-who in their right mind would hire a person like myself? I can't sit or stand for too long, i can only do minimal light non-thinkinh kind of work, I will fall asleep on the job, I will forget the task I've been given and wander the office. I would get fired within a week, that or get that special baseball helmet for my head. this man infuriates me

although judge edison wasnt my judge I understand your frustration my hearing was june 20th and I havent recieved a decision letter in the mail yet. My conditions is left leg ampuation, psoriatic arthritis, and post tramatic stress syndrome. now if that doesnt qualify as disabled after i worked many years in the workforce then what would? I often think the same thing you guys do. what does it take to get approved roll in there on a hospital bed or a wheelchair. however my judge was extremely nice and seemed interested in my case but the low approval rates they have speak for themselves

This judge is cold-hearted and has no empathy for mental illness claimants. He not only called three psychiatrist and a social security psychologist, two primary doctors liars but me as well. His problem is since he can't see the illness physically then you can work. I believe he wants me to go out in the workplace and have one of my mental breakdowns whereby I hurt someone or vice-versa for him to see that a person that suffers with bipolar I & II are very moody people who can't always control themselves. I also suffer with manic depression, PSTD, social anxiety, anxiety, claustophic, panic attacks, OCD, high blood pressure, asthma, bronchitis, heart disease,etc. I am a 50 year old black female who has worked 30 years of her life always giving and caring for others. I have attempted suicide twice because I am my wits end. It took almost 4 years for this unfair system to tell me no I don't qualify for sdi in which I paid into the system. I guess, I will have to prove to this ### and the rest of them that I refuse to let others come here and live off of me when they never worked a day in this country.

This judge is AWSOME! She saw my case and she saw the physician notes on my case and made a decision. I am so grateful for her, this was in 2010 and today ( 9/2019) I suffer even more with this disease. But it helps to know that I am not crazy and that it's not in my mind (the pain) that it's a real disease( Fibromyalgia). I pray for you and your family! Thank you Judge for your favor!

I feel that judge hagler did not take all my physical problems into consideration, my whole body hurts all the time and she said I could go back to the collection, office work I used to do, I would rather die. I was just barely able to keep my job then. I was even seeing the employee assist counselor there.i hope she knows she has ruined my life and I will probably lose what little we have. I have been paying into ss since 1974. I am 59 now and have worked hard all my life, I never took any handouts from anyone

I found Judge Helmer to be very pleasant to deal with in the courtroom. She told my lawyer, after I left the courtroom, that she found me credible, but when I got her unfavorable decision in the mail, it was totally opposite. She basically refuted everything I said, so I really don't understand that because to me her statement to my lawyer and her decision were totally opposite. In all fairness to Judge Helmer, I did not have enough medical documentation to put my SSI disability through though I didn't realize that at the time since this was my first time going before an administrative law judge.

I thought Mrs Helmer was a very nice and well informed judge. She treated me kindly in her courtroom as did her court reporter. To me, she is a great and fair judge to have for your disability decision.

I had my hearing with Judge Hoover today. Judge Hoover was very fair, listened to what I had to say. He was very direct with his questions and very considerate with his responses. I feel like Judge Hoover had reviewed my case and information and he handled this hearing in a very professional and respectful way.

TV lawyers are actors, not real lawyers, paid to entice you to call the 800 Number. They tie up your case, preventing you from choosing the lawyer who will show up at your hearing. The TV law firm, located in New York or some distant city, will call a local lawyer of their choice to attend the hearing. You will meet this lawyer for the first time 15 minutes before you walk into the hearing. It is always in your best interest to shop for and hire a local lawyer from your hometown or a town close to you. That way, you get to choose who shows up for your hearing. Why would anyone go 2,000 miles from home to hire a lawyer? They all charge the same fee on Social Security cases! Do people think that a lawyer 2,000 miles away is somehow a better lawyer than one here in Alabama? Where's the logic?

Their is a place in **** *** **** *******, most inconsiderate judge i ever seen in my life . She is tearing the world apart by kicking people to the curb that have serious medica conditions . In no way should be a judge . God doesn’t like ugly and hopefully she goes to judgment day with the bad decisions she made on her chest . The whole system is a joke.

I had my hearing today with Judge Lisa Johnson. She was tough and very straight to the point! Asked me about my medical conditions and what prevents me from working and then asked the VE if there were any jobs I could do and he said no! Judge Lisa Johnson ruled on the record that I was approved! My advice is to be honest and listen very carefully to her questions she speaks fast, but if you pay attention you will do fine! It's been 2 yrs fighting for this and it was a relief to get a decision the same day on the record! I was a Legal Assistant so this being a desk job already I couldn't stand up at any jobs! Prayer works!

I have a case coming up with her soon. I worked for 30 years making really good money. Now I'm unemployed and broke and can't get the medical help I need because I can't afford insurance. I would rather being doing what I did and I didn't stop because I'm lazy. I pray that God will show her that my life lays in her hands and guide's the honorable judge to see the reality of her decision is crucial to my well-being.

Well yesterday I had my hearing and meet Judge Johnson. She is a very sharp person and everything didn't go in my favor but I thought she was very fair compared to my last judge. Judge Johnson is a very pretty woman and I truly believe she will give me a favorable decision as long as she sees that I worked my whole life and made good money. I only stopped because I could no longer go on. Plasm 23. Emmett

I appeared almost 90 days in front of Judge Johnson. She was quite perturbed by my attorney and the fact the video system wasn't working certainly didn't help matters. But we couldn't reschedule. My health is declining and I can't afford to go to the doctor..not to mention we are about to lose everything due to my illness. Why is it taking so long to hear to judges decision?

From the beginning the judge seemed to be against me because of my age I guess. She denied me and I have medical proof that I'm disabled and I do believe that she is against a young person being on disability.

Very rude and disrespectful when asking questions. I was already upset and have severe mental anxiety and she only made it worse. Cancel and ask for another judge!

I had my hearing last week after a little more than 2 years of waiting. Judge Lawson had reviewed my case notes thoroughly and asked questions about my doctors, their treatments, and medications. He asked what a typical day is like, what I do differently now than before I got hurt, how the medications affect my life, and what my previous job duties consisted of. He had also pulled my SS earning record and was aware of past earnings as well as the hours required to earn it. After getting a response from the VE that I am not able to return to the medium and heavy duty jobs I have done in the previous 15 years, he told me right then that he approved my disability case. Anyone going before him will find him fair, thorough, and straight to the point. Bless him for easing my burden.

I had my hearing today with Judge Lawson. I found him very easy to talk with. I was told by my attorney's office that the Judge and the Attorney would do most of the talking, but that was not the case. Judge Lawson wanted to hear from me about my disabilities and how they had affected my life. He was very familiar with my case and very compassionate. He told me that he was going to go ahead and tell me today that I was approved, so I wouldn't have to continue waiting to hear the results from Social Security. Thank you Judge Lawson for being so kind!

Judge Lawson today I received a letter with your name about Appealing Unfavorable decision. The unfavorable decision received is signed by Judge McDonald. I was schedule February 1, 2018 for a disability hearing with Judge Lawson. Instead hearing was held by Judge McDonald. The medical evidence used had a lot of omitted medical evidence. I was devastated to learn of medical evidence submitted which destroys my character and testimony. The conclusion of not disable and I do not have Coronary Heart Disease is inconsistent with being under Cardiologists Warren Holley, Nabeel Memon, and Toheed Kamal. From July 2013 until present. Where is the medical evidence of allergic reaction to meds? Where is the medical evidence of the different Cardiologists doctors treating my Coronary Heart Disease? Where is the medical Dr. Memon was treating my Coronary Heart Disease with meds, instead of performing another surgery? If I improved after October 2015, why did Dr.Memon take me off work November 2015 until further notice ? If I had no complaints April 2016, Where is the medical evidence of Dr. Kamal, why she needed to take a look Inside June 2016 ? Why was I sent for a consultant examination May 2016 when I was under Dr. Memon then switched to Dr.Kamal ? Dr. Memon agreed to sign my disability in April 2016, why isn't this in my medical evidence? I find a err in unfavorable decision. Omitted Medical evidence of Dr. Memon. I will give you a rating of Excellent *****. Thankful decision exposed the lack of medical evidence submitted. PRAYING FOR A ACT FROM GOD!

Judge Levey's hearings are informal and designed to create a comfortable and non-threatening environment for claimants and representatives. He is very well acquainted with the case records, and views critically claimant attempts at lying and distortion. Attorneys and reps should be well prepared to present their cases, as this judge generally expects them to conduct the bulk of the questioning. Judge Levey's decisions are generally well written and fair.

The experience that I had with Judge Lawrence Levey was that it was the first time I have ever dealt with a government employee who was humane and respectful. He asked tough questions, but I felt that he was fair.

This judge is very fair and kind. I don't know how my case will be decided but Judge Levey made me feel very comfortable. He showed that he had spent a lot of time reviewing my case before the hearing. I look forward to receiving my decision and hope that it is a favorable one.

Although this judge runs the most informal courtroom I have ever practiced in, he quickly shows he has read the exhibits, demonstrates great respect for the claimants and their representatives, listens to what is being said with a spirit of genuine curiosity and compassion, and questions the claimants carefully when their testimony diverges from what is contained in the record. Representatives should be prepared to present their cases (judge asks them to begin the questioning, then supplements the questioning afterwards), should prepare the claimants to deal with difficult issues (illegal drug use, reported earnings after the claimed disability onset date, receipt of unemployment benefits, unfavorable treating physician opinions, etc.) and should counsel them to tell the truth. With regard to the latter point, my experience has been that this judge is far more favorably inclined to claimants who testify truthfully (even if doing so appears to weaken the case on the merits) than to claimants who paint a picture of wholly disabling functional limitations that is contradicted by evidence in the record (objective findings, activities of daily living, previous inconsistent statements, etc.).

I had my hear today with Judge Levey, He was a very nice judge that made me feel comfortable and respected. It was a very emotional day for me, as the entire process can be very overwhelming. He was very respectful and asked good questions pertaining to my case, with that I could tell that he was well aware of my case and records. He was patient with me for my responses since some had made me tear up, I so appreciated that. I am not sure what his decision will be but of course hoping for it to be in my favor and be the end to this process. I do however feel he will give me a fair decision based on the information provided to him at this time. A very kind man, and he wears a cowboys, which I loved and I think that right from the beginning it makes you feel at ease and comfortable to getting ready to give you testimony. Good luck to everyone and fingers are crossed for my case to be approved.

I chose to present my case without a lawyer since I know more about my condition than anyone else and had read on this website that Judge Levey was fair. Judge Levey made me feel like my case was important. He explained the issues and the hearing process. He showed that he had read my file, and asked good questions that focused on my condition and helped me to present my case. He was sympathetic and respectful and funny and kind. And at the end of the hearing he told me that he would be awarding me the benefits that I had fought for for years. In the age of Donald Trump, Judge Levey is like a welcome breath of fresh air.

On my first court appearance, I did not have a lawyer. I explained to Judge Levey that many would not take her case simply because it was towards the end of the case, not a start to finish situation. He asked If I wanted to try one last time to find one and I said yes, wanted the best for my child. I found a lawyer and returned. This second trip was difficult because for the first time my daughters' lawyer describes my daughter and her mantle health matters within a few sentences. This was difficult and I began to get emotional. judge Levey was kind and understanding throughout the whole process. I don't know how this will all end knowing from both sides they were fair and knew what they were doing, my child's lawyer and the judge. This has been a long road and will continue to be for I know the extent of love and care needed for my Katie. But regardless, Judge Levey made me feel like a human person, nothing more nothing less, looking to have my daughters' case looked at properly.

This judge is a lot of fun! He makes the hearings enjoyable for the claimants and their attorneys, and is very interested in what the claimants have to say. Don't try to fool him, though -- he's sharp as a tack!

I will say that I was not impressed with how I was treated at my ALJ hearing for my SSDI. Being a medically retired veteran and 100% disabled rated by the VA. After going through a heart attack, several spinal procedures and injections for pain from injury sustained in Iraq while deployed for a year and over 20+yrs in the service. I felt he was more concerned that I was receiving my military retirement pay instead of focusing on what I was at the hearing for "My SSDI" that I have paid into and earned over the past 30yrs! As I had to keep saying, I was forced to retire from my full-time job and it's hard to deal with the pain. Over 700 pages of medical documentation from doctors/specialist and still denied! The hearing was a complete waste of time and I think this judge did not like the fact that I draw my earned retirement and applied for my SSDI!!!

I am so scared to death, i go before this judge in less than 24 hrs. I am so hoping to get a favorable decision. I suffer with a very disabling rare neuropthy. I also have 6 mental health issues, on top of needing surgery on my right shoulder. I haven't been able to afford proper medications that i so desperatly need for almost a year now. I have prayed and asked everyone for prayers for me. I really need this so i can get the proper help i need.

My doctor has writing down that I'm disability but no social security. I hope to GOD I will get it soon. It has been hard now i can't afford my medical and doctors.

This man is corrupt, He denied me and did not even look at all my medical records. I appealed this myself with no lawyer and won my appeal. I am being sent right back to this snake again. i will next take it to federal court if he doesit again, So please, if you get this judge prepare to be denied even if you are paralized from the neck down.

My case has been going on 3 years. I've got chronic pain, gunstock deformity In my left arm, migraines, type 2 diabetes, fibromyalgia, essential hypertension, generalized osteoarthrosis, duodenitis, restless leg syndrome, Dyspepsia, lipoma of arm, major anxiety, major depression, obstructive sleep apnea, Dysphagia, disc degeneration lumbar region, vit D is extremely low so I'm on a pill for it. And now I'm having kidney problems, may have to have renal stents...I have a attorney but was still denied my first hearing (my lawyer said the judge made his decision off of my physical appearance... I was raised to dress nice in certain circumstances.... I got Senator Tom Cotton involved about 5 months ago, he has took a interest and is trying to help me. My judges name was "STAR"

Judge Perry, was a compassionate, understanding judge. Very nice, and as far as I'm concerned, he's on my Christmas list. He approved me after I had been denied by the board, with medical conditions I have that is terminal no cure, should have been approved the first time. Judge Perry is top notch in my book. I can't say enough good things about him.

Her Honor was a very pleasant and fair judge. She studied my medical records like a good judge should. I was approved but even if I hadn't been, I was happy with her questioning and overall professionalism. Judgement was less than a month which surprised me after hearing all the horror stories.

This whole process is so overwhelming and very upsetting.. to be so sick every day of ones life and your fate lies in the hands of someone who doesn't know you. It's not like I asked for all of these diseases. It's not like I begged to be crippled and everything else going on that I can NOT control.

This judge is nonetheless heartless and disconcerned of the well-being of Alabama's disabled citizens.Obviously he gets his income and doesnt think of what clients he presides over need to survive on a daily basis.He did not look at the basic facts of my trial and after waiting for 18 months with no income and the inability to work my case was denied. Being someone with a life-threatening illness I could have filed for another appeal but that would have put me waiting at least another 18 months before it would proceed to the appeals court. Instead I decided to reapply hoping that the seriousness of my disablities would be re-evaluated by someone with a little more understanding of what it is to want to do better for yourself when you cant.

ALJ Merchant is clearly knowledgeable of the SSA statutes and assertive in his hearings. On the conservative side for dispositions, but his decisions do not tend to be unreasonable.

Twisting evidence, Minimizing the seriousness of the claiments testimony..to the extent of "Poking fun of them", humiliating a person in the determination letter by outright ignoring significant medical details rather highlighting all the non Important information.

As a person has been in this business for years, I felt obligated to note that I disagree with the poster below who referred to Judge Merchant in such a disrespectful manner. Yes, he reads the whole record- to include the treatment notes. He does confront the claimants; however, he is very compassionate and respectful to all who come into his hearing room. For future claimants, be wary of what you read on sites like these. Listen to your representative and be truthful.

I agree whole heartedly with the comment that this judge is heartless and disconcerned for the well-being of the claiments. Percentages on this site do not lie. Obviously he only approves less than a quarter of all cases. So if you experience a unfavorable decision from this judge, despite being dishearten with the system, you are not alone! His statistics seem quite unbalanced coupled with a whim of something smelly~ Try to find out before hand who your judge may be before hand because your chances of winning is very slim. In addition if you appeal to council or start all over, its within your rights to request another judge~ God Bless

wow, This Judge will look for any excuse to dismiss or deny a case! Very Lame ones indeed! I know many disabled folk that are dependent on professional trained pets to assist them to function. This Judge dismissed my niece's case that suffers from M.E. because she and her husband has a Lab that is older very docile, this dog helps her severe depression! He mentioned in the Denial letter because she cares for this pet she should be able to work..HOW Insulting! praying for this Judge to have a more caring and empathetic heart while he practices in Alabama~

Judge Merchant is kind, precise, and well prepared. He takes his position serious with an understanding heart. Please don't make your decision of him off of reading comments. I'm grateful for my outcome but even if his decision was unfavorable I would still give five stars just off the respect he showed me and his caring demeanor.

This "judge" should be disbarred. He took one look at my austitic child and told him there was no reason why he couldn't work. He just chose not to. Talk about reviewing the medical evidence, it was not reviewed at all. I wish I had checked out this site before our court date. I am saying there are some that may be denied, but not all. Have some compassion and review the records you have before court and please base the decision on facts not on your first impression.

This Judge heard my case a couple years ago. Like so many others on here he is less than friendly which is fine as long as he's fair. I won my case which looking at this site now I was very fortunate given his percentages. I wasn't aware of this site then and couldn't afford internet anyway given that I'd been waiting nearly 3 years with no pay I think, no I wish there was more consistency in the way folks are treated personally and also the standard by which there cases are evaluated. I find it very difficult to believe that the same judges all across the country are being assigned the same amount of deserving/undeserving cases each year. I say this because regardless of office the percentages of individual judges remains pretty constant and the decisions run from a liberal judge averaging in the high 70% range while the conservative judges will be in the low to mid 20% for approvals. There's just no way this large of a discrepancy could be the same year in and year out which a normal person could only conclude that the judge assigned to your case is the biggest factor in determining one's fate rather than evidence and this is very sad. I suspect we could decipher the political leanings of 90% of the judges and this just isn't acceptable if the people are to continue supporting this program. Sorry to take so much of your time if you read all of this.

I have never or yet to go before Judge Merchant. I did not want to believe all the negative post. But I must say at this point I am very disappointed. I recently gave the SSA a Letter of Dire Need/ Critical Case, and yet I received a verbal denial. I have severe pain every day and all day. The SSA appointed physician, confirmed what I already knew. Degenerative bone problems. I have bone spurs in my back and legs. I cannot cook breakfast and stand for over 15 minutes. At age 52 I shop only when I can sit in a scooter. I have no insurance so it makes no sense after a while to keep going to doctors when nothing short of surgery can help. I had surgery several years ago and unless I have knee replacement nothing can be done, and I am unsure if anything can be done for my back. I now know what its like to go to bed hungry. I lost my SUV that was paid for, and I am about to loose my only transportation due to none payment. I ran out of toothpaste, soap, and many other things, I have had my power cut off and it is in danger of being cut off as I speak. These are to just to name a few. After working all my life and paying into the plan with employer contributions for a total of right at 50,000.00. My assistance from SSA has been limited. I am grateful I was approved for disability, but it was only because SSA could not argue the disability. Due to their paneled physician's point of view. But the appointed Judge and administrative services gives an entire new meaning to "Don't look a Gift Horse n the Mouth" . They purposely indicated an incorrect onset date as to not to pay me any back pay or retro pay. Most not all , but most of the employees of the SSA were/are rude, short, and disrespectful. The employees sound and behave like out dated robots. If they would get off their ***** and work, I mean really work they would not have such a back log. Or is this the government's way of controlling the cash cow? I was told by a friend that has a relative that works at the downtown Birmingham office, that the employees do their work early in the morning and spend the rest of the day walking around from each others desk and talking. I went to the downtown Birmingham, office on September 10, 2018, and I parked in the parking deck. How is it Handicap Access when the walk was to go out of the deck into the rain walk what is no less than a good block before you reach the door. When I asked the parking deck attendant he explained that he had no less than 1500 people ask him the same question. Was there no shuttle service or easier way to the building? Using a four legged walker and stopping for a break when leaving I met a lady sitting in a van while her daughter asked if I thought the SSA would talk with her (the daughter) because her mother had turned around because she could not make the walk. Not to mention when I ask for directions to the rest room, in the SSA. The security officer pointed to a "One room toilet that was unisex". How is it that a waiting room that held approximately 50 or more people daily, had one single unisex toilet? It was clean yet I have seen better bathroom accommodations at a corner store. Here is a building handling disability people daily and this is what they have to offer? Really. I am not going to go away quietly into the night. I have had people that were employed with SSA to encourage me to continue and others to threaten that if I did not stop trying to get the information correct, I would end up with nothing. If they would just listen to the recorded conversations they would hear a DDS supervisor tell me that they practically picked my onset date randomly. The question is simple? How could I have a degenerative bone problem and according to the DDS supervisor stating that the doctor even said the problem did not occur over night, YET THE SSA GAVE ME A ONSET DATE FOR THE SAME MONTH IN WHICH I APPLIED. They nicely picked New Years' Day. Really??? Unlike a lot of people I lived with this disability for years, yet I got to a point of severe approximately two years prior to filing. I merely asked that correct the onset date? Yet as of today it has not been done. So I am having to do as many and retain an attorney. I find it ridiculous to have to through away 25% to get the attention of the SSA staff to actually correct their mistake. I was even advised to complete a Reconsideration Form, yet two months or so later I was told by the same people they no longer did reconsiderations and that it would have to be set for a Hearing. Yet ironically when I returned the form, once again no one said anything? THE SSA Staff needs better training. I could type for hours giving a long list of inconsistent statements that the various staff members have told just me. The SSA needs to be looked at closely and examined for the lack of Professionalism, knowledge of the job, updates and overall quality checks. Ending with comic relief one day while in the office I went to 4 different windows and spoke with 4 different employees just because I could not access the online site with my password. This was after speaking with two other people at earlier dates just because I had a phone number changed. You would have thought I was trying to gain access to the Nuclear Arms Codes.

I went before Judge Merchant to present my case for my minor child. I do not know the outcome yet. However, I will state that he has a kind demeanor and I thought that when he met us in the waiting room before I realized he was our judge. I did not feel intimidated & I felt like he was relatable. My child did start crying and I had to pause to see if she was okay. Judge Merchant immediately stepped from the bench to console my child. I appreciated the compassion he displayed to her. Even if he doesn’t rule in her favor my opinion remains the same. I still like the other lady who ruled against us before going in front of ALJ even if I did not agree with her decision. I understand the emotions ppl go through when dealing with physical and/or mental disabilities. I too feel offended and aggravated that my child has to live a challenging life unlike the majority of her peers and social security is trying to say she’s no longer considered disabled- I would give my right arm for that to be true. However, I understand these people sometimes have to make challenging decisions and it’s not always easy to make and I try not to take it too personal and just appeal to the next level. I am just glad that Judge Merchant was not intimidating and respectful and not someone who has a stoic and/or condescending attitude.

Everyone has said that this judge is very rude and if he is your judge look for a denial. I have to say that he was not rude, he listened, he asked the needed questions, and he is just doing his job. I believe if you go to any judge...just tell your story and tell the truth...no one can explain your problems better than yourself. I am a retired disable veteran and I went in and just told the truth. Now I am just awaiting for my letter on a decision.

I was shocked this judge did a denial on me for ocd Clinical depression, Sleep problems, eye problems , and pain in my legs and feet w plenty of medical evidence. I felt when he loked at me he had his mind made up from the times our eyes met. I have worked all my life and at age 53 waiyed so lomg for my hearing and This is what I get. Nothing!, I am not able to work, everyone knows that. I guess he doesnt give a crap. Plain and simple his approval rarte is the lowest because he does not want to believe that people are sick unless you are laid out on a stretcher coming in his court room. Pathetic, people have lives that get ruined over one judge making his own decision about a person case. He did ask questions but because I can carry a gallon of milk does not make me ok! Because I can hold a conversation does not make me ok. I guess he gets one star for at least finishing his education. I hope he is looked at very strong w his low approval rate.

I felt when he loked at me he had his mind made up from the times our eyes met. I have worked all my life and at age 53 waiyed so lomg for my hearing and This is what I get. Nothing!, I am not able to work, everyone knows that. I guess he doesnt give a crap. Plain and simple his approval rarte is the lowest because he does not want to believe that people are sick unless you are laid out on a stretcher coming in his court room. Pathetic, people have lives that get ruined over one judge making his own decision about a person case. He did ask questions but because I can carry a gallon of milk does not make me ok! Because I can hold a conversation does not make me ok. I guess he gets one star for at least finishing his education. I hope he is looked at very strong w his low approval rate.

I am a retired disable Gulf War, OEF/OIF, (Army) veteran, and I strongly agree with La Shanna Williams. As a former IG, (Fact Finder), I can truly state, Judge Munford is above, and beyond a professional in his courtroom. He acknowledged at the opening of my hearing; he had carefully reviewed/knowledgeable of all supporting documents, and is prepared to preside. He do not shoot from the hip, or will make a hip pocket decision. At the end of my hearing he thank me for my service. I truly believed those words came from his heart. God Bless

I had my hearing, and while it seemed as if he was listening, when I got my order it became apparent he had NOT listened to anything nor considered anything. He chose to listen to a dr. who prescribes the meds my therapist recommends and sees me 15 minutes every three months rather than the therapist herself. He completely ignored not only my orthopedist, he made the assumption that I did not go to physical therapy. I did go, it was in the paperwork! I just quit because it was actually making my problem worse. Then because I am ALLERGIC to most narcotics and cannot take them, and the ones I can take are useless with my back condition it, in his words "must not be as severe as presented." So I have to be an addict to be in real pain? Because that's not bad enough he completely dismisses the doctor that the Social Security office sent me too! He completely ignored every piece of medical evidence presented to treat me like I'm faking my pain and issues. Thanks Judge Munford! Now I get to file bankruptcy since I was already three months past what I had saved. How the hell does a doctor, FOUR of them, say I'm incapable of doing significant work or any work and a judge just goes "oh well" with no accountability for it? This type of screwed system where I can have a neighbor drawing disability for her problematic foot and nothing else, and I can't get any help for multiple issues is why moving to another country is sounding better and better. Maybe if I had been a veteran he would have taken me more seriously...but no I'm just a girl who watched and worried because every male in her family serve!

Judge Narvil was very respectful to me, he knew every detail of my extensive medical records as well or better then any of my many Doctors. He gave me a favorable decision. This was so touching because it dignified me. I never thought my working career would end in so much pain and so abruptly. Even if he didn’t I would still give him five stars because he was so respectful and professional. Thank you Sir.

well i found out what the problem was with my disability my selection of ostrander as my doctor and bennett to replace her was where i went wrong. I have linear fractures and bone missing in my left shoulder and lower back but several local judges seem to be property owners at the company i worked for ostrander one of them. I simply had to leave this county and get medical treatment to come up with proof.

Very nice, took my conditions and feelings serious. Used all my Doctor's reports instead of ce exam report. Made me feel relaxed and at ease. VE at hearing was also considerate.

I've had one hearing with this ALJ. He was very professional, calm, and gave claimant a very fair and complete hearing. His award rate has come down a bit over the last year. He will ask some general background questions and then will give you specific direction on how he wants the medical testimony developed. He asks a full range of hypotheticals. He ended up denying this claim for lack of supportive medical but it was still a very fair hearing and a well reasoned decision.

Judge Owens is VERY thorough, but very fair! He is an excellent Judge in my opinion. As long as the claimant is honest and the rep is prepared, you have a good chance! He does numerous lengthy hypotheticals and asks for the rep's legal theory before testimony.

no stars intimidating acts like your a criminal for being disabled very unprofessionL did not even give me (CLAiment) the opportunity to express my disabilities was very ugly and mean to me and my representative. did not want to here how medications affected my work ability(s). HE said should have been included in restrictions by doctors report. medicine affects people diferent and the cautions are on the bottle. However, i wa not given the opportunity to tell how they affected me. i was never asked how my pain and other conditions affected my dAILY LIVING. ( which is tremendous) no work history or what i thought I may be able to do was discussed. (other than brief assumptions) Restrictions and limittations were asked of me,even though they should all have been shown in fCE and medical records. I do not know what the Drs. said I only know whAT I can and can't do. THIS judge has some anger issues or other problems ....... maybe he should apply for disability because he is not fairly and rightiously doing his job.....There are problems concerning this judge and his job duties and dealing with people 4/05/2012

Judge Reeves was very tough and I suppose if I wasn't approved I might have given a more harsh comment. He asked some questions I felt maybe were out of bounds and he could have been a bit more respectful. I have a feeling that they are all a bit hardened by doing this all day every day but it would be nice if they could understand what it's like losing your ability to support your family and having all the time spent waiting come down to a 30 minute or so hearing. I was very surprised when I got the ruling and my wife could get us some groceries without having to pass the things by with a short shelf life. Having said all this, do your very best to prepare for the hard questions, try to keep your composure. and Thank you Judge Reeves.

Dear judge reeves, I had a hearing Jan 5th for my disability and I got denied. Just wanted you to know that I wasn't properly represented.. The Lawer I had didn't have all of my dr's papers stating that I could not work. I'm about to have one of my toes taken off due to my diabetes . Along with all the other stuff I have wrong with I really can't work. I would if I could. I'm about to lose everything I've got. I really wish you would reconsider my case. I need help. Please help me. Thanks, Michael j fuller.

After ignoring my doctor's report - I pray the Lord rains vengance upon this judge for his wrong doing toward people who have worked hard, in my case 40 years, paid into Social Security and then developed medical issues that prevent them from working. What does it take for this judge to see the light for people who are in need and do qualify? Again, I'm leaving it up to the Lord to take care of being done wrong by him.

Judge reeves was very unprofessional. Would not let me speak. Showed no interest in my disabilities and how it affected my ability to work. Told me to keep appealing but it would only get reviewed again by him and that there was nothing I could do about it. Please get an attorney if you are schedule him. He is very racist and discriminates against females.

In my opinion Brian Turner is a condescending **** who is looking for an excuse to deny people who are disabled. He sits atop his throne and acts like a god. I feel sorry for what will happen to him

I had my hearing yesterday and was awarded a favorable bench decision. I had sepsis in February of 2014 with multiple organ failure I stayed in a coma for two months. After I was released I had two strokes from blood clots. It left me with moderate brain damage. I can barely speak, I can't feed myself cloth or bathe by myself I can still type albeit slow. I went from being an engineer to having hard time figuring out who i was and where I was.I was still turned down initially due to insufficient paperwork. All that being said it comes down to preparation of your case. An attorney in a box is not the best solution. You should find an attorney who knows the judges in the area and knows how they want a case presented. My attorney had all my medical documentation and took time to keep it current every doctor visit. It was all presented in a very professional synopsis in chronological order with supporting evidence. So when everyone bashes the judges maybe you should be bashing your attorney. Everyone on here has merits for their case but if they are presented poorly before the hearing with little documentation would you approve it. I was very surprised how well Judge Vincent knew my file front to back She understood my inability to speak well and took the time to let me answer even if it took several minutes. My attorney never had to speak the VE said I couldn't do any work. I fully believe most judges have their mind somewhat made up before the hearing hence the importance of very good support documentation. The more questions ask of you at the hearing means they either were not answered in documentation or a weak case. Thats my two cents hope it helps.

I went from being an engineer to having hard time figuring out who i was and where I was.I was still turned down initially due to insufficient paperwork. All that being said it comes down to preparation of your case. An attorney in a box is not the best solution. You should find an attorney who knows the judges in the area and knows how they want a case presented. My attorney had all my medical documentation and took time to keep it current every doctor visit. It was all presented in a very professional synopsis in chronological order with supporting evidence. So when everyone bashes the judges maybe you should be bashing your attorney. Everyone on here has merits for their case but if they are presented poorly before the hearing with little documentation would you approve it. I was very surprised how well Judge Vincent knew my file front to back She understood my inability to speak well and took the time to let me answer even if it took several minutes. My attorney never had to speak the VE said I couldn't do any work. I fully believe most judges have their mind somewhat made up before the hearing hence the importance of very good support documentation. The more questions ask of you at the hearing means they either were not answered in documentation or a weak case. Thats my two cents hope it helps.

this judge had one of the highest approval ratings a few months ago now one of the lowest. I think if you had a case denied by him lately you should file an appeal.HE IS NOT BEING FAIR.He is making a lot of errors on his cases and I PERSONALLY think he is in fear of his job .He denied cases in record time ,wrong statements ,times and dates.He is very slick and will lead you on in your hearing to hang yourself. I work hard all my life and payed into the ssa but alot of ssi people are approved by him. I think this judge is showing early signs of dementia and should not be handling any cases now.

This judge seems to be very incompetent, he cant properly handle cases and shouldn't be a judge he isn't concerned with the well being of anyone ,he states his philosophy more then the law, something needs to be done he take advantages of disabled people ,anyone who has had there case denied by him should immediately file for appeal

Judge Zanaty was very fair and understanding. He listened to my case and approved me within a week after my hearing. I thank him so much it makes a big difference when people care and are very compassionate about others needs.

Judge Zanaty actually read my medical records. He was focused solely on me. I never felt liked he prejudged me like the judge in my first case. He was very polite and understanding towards my medical conditions. He was extremely knowledgeable of my doctors and my conditions.
