This judge does not know what he is doing he does not read the medical records accurately at all. he is horrible. he will take one medical record and run with it. I have lupus and he does not know how to read ANA correctly. He does not know what the term false positive means at all. I have migraines he referred to them as headaches. He went as far to try and overrrule a previous disabbility judge that i had that ruled I was disabled. How tacky. This Judge is way off base..

This judge I believe should not be a judge He needs his head examined. I had a disability case pending for 7 years. He gave me a unfavorable decision. He blatanly ignored 5,000 pages of medical records. Just ignored every one of them. Then he had the nerve to put something in my paper about my spouse and I have intercourse. WHAT a ****. Who does that. Hes a *******. I filed an appeal at the federal level and got it reversed. So dont give up. HE'S a *****. fight for your disability. he should be sued. ***** with a capital L I would give hime a minus 10 if I could

I personally feel that he isn't any different than the other judges except for the fact that he was polite with me. He only looked at what the social security doctors said about my disabilities and nothing about what my doctors said. Social Security does not look at anything that chiropractors say. I had 10 things wrong with me. I have osteoarthritis in my hip, neck and lower back. I am over 50 years old, yet I was denied.

3/19/19 was my hearing for ssi and ssdi, I was awarded full benefits before I left the room. All I did was tell the truth and let my medical records speak for me.Judge Bedwell is very understanding of his job and seems to be a down to earth person.

This judge and the whole system is a joke., I applied going on seven years now. his first denial wasnt based on my medical records and his second denial wasnt based on anything he brought up in court. the first denial before him was because the mexican judge couldnt read my financials right. this system cares nothing about your situation it is set purely on discrimination. Im learning the hard way why people hate our government. i have to wait another year and a half to go infront of this government employee again.

I have had judge jacobson twice. Very prejudice and unprofessional. first denial with him he based his denial on his own opinion and not medical facts and completely ignored the vocational experts opinions. second hearing with him his denial was based on questions he didn't have at the hearing. His first hearing somehow he had not had medical information from the last two years before the hearing. His speeches of not discriminating are a farse because of him alone he discriminates against age. he gives very little speaking time and only asks questions that are basically yes or know. When describing your answers to questions he thumbs through papers and shows very little attention. His denials show that he clearly does not pay attention to detail by ways of his denials. I applied seven years ago and the denials have been based on their opinions and not the medical facts.

This judge was the most professional and efficient person of status I've ever met. He did background work on my case before our hearing and brought extremely helpful information to the case. He did Not need to do these extra steps, but his actions made me grateful to be inside his courtroom. We need more people like him.

My family and I are on the verge of homelessness. And it has been 1 month since my in person hearing no jobs hypothetically or otherwise were found for me. The judge sounded very compassionate about my situation. I truly hope the paperwork moves along so my child can have some stability in her life.

I had this judge before. All that I will say is I hope God softens her heart. I felt like trash at my hearing. This Judge made me feel like a criminal. Not everyone that tries to get SSD or SSI deserve it but many of us do. Many of us suffer with illnesses you could never grasp unless you are in our shoes. Judges rule according to law but we don't deserve to be treated as garbage. I feel she judged my case before I ever spoke a word. I felt like a science project a specimen. Maybe she's tired of her job and has become heartless who knows. But God can soften any cold heart. It may be too late for me I lost. but there is someone out there that her ruling can change their life. If she is fair. I pray for this judge that she understands that people can have illnesses for many years over 10 15 20. I pray God Works on this judges heart and compassion. I never experienced mfeeling less than human until my hearing, feeling worthless, and reduced to nothing by this judge. This was by far one of the top worst experiences of my life.

I saw her back in July of 2017. The hearing was emotionally exhausting. I slept for about 5 hours straight when I got home. I was mentally drained. I found her to be very intimidating, however I would have thought this about any Judge and didn't hold that against her. The worst part of the hearing were the weeks after. Having to once again accept and take a good hard look my mental health issues and how greatly they really do impact my life in sucb a large way caused my symptoms to flare up worse then normal for awhile. I experienced a spike in feelings of shame, guilt, fear, paranoia and anxiety along with more extreme mood swings for weeks. This week my case was closed with a favorable decision, and although the hearing was a terrible experience for me I feel that she was just doing her job and did it well.

I disagree with the above post. I went into my hearing a little under-prepared and Judge Kendall assisted me in re-requesting additional medical records and rescheduled my hearing in order for me to make sure my file was complete, accurate and contained all pertinent information in order for SSA to make a decision regarding my disability claim. I have yet to hear whether I am approved but I truly feel that Judge Kendall was kind and clear and concise in her questions, in her answers to my questions and in her follow-up questions. Although she was firm & no-nonsense- like, I feel that she takes her responsibility seriously and really does put in the time to review and understand the cases before her. She won't be your best friend, but she will give you all the time and respect to plead your case and hear you out thoroughly.

This judge is Prejudice she has denied me more than once after the people in the courtroom with her said there is nothing that I can do because of my disabilities she chooses to do this to me because she thinks that I'm an alcoholic the fact that she has no idea anything about my life doesn't matter to her because she enjoys sitting on that bench in her pajamas playing God

this woman has no business being a judge what's the point of having specialist in the courtroom telling her that the facts in front of her are true and that I am truly a disabled person just for her to say **** *** she doesn't care because she's using her own judgment she's not looking at statistics and facts she's using her personal Vendetta to ***** me

This is what a SSI attorney told me, that Wisconsin fired there SS judges because they were not looking at all the medical evidence per case and denying a lot of them just to save the state of Wisconsin money and so the state would get good ratings. So now there is a average of 18 month waits to get a hearing because of the state judges available and are now using Illinois judges on the closed circuit TV.

I had the privilege of going before the Honorable Judge Debra Meachum for my disability hearing. My comments are based solely on my interactions with her. I found Judge Meachum to be very kind. She is extremely observant and forth coming with her observations. She has a calming demeanor, and is very attentative when speaking to you. Judge Meachum made my process pleasant and non threatening. The process can be very nerve wracking in itself, but if you go in to state just your facts with no expectations, you will do fine.

Judge Messina, I must say seemed to be very attentive and compassionate towards myself and my disability case. He listened and made me feel very comfortable and at ease even though I was extremely nervous! My attorney on the other hand, my God was he awful, but I have to give all the Glory and Honor to God for placing me in the hands of Judge Messina, may God bless you sir!

Judge Messina, I must say seemed to be very attentive and compassionate towards myself and my disability case. He listened and made me feel very comfortable and at ease even though I was extremely nervous! My attorney on the other hand, my God was he awful, but I have to give all the Glory and Honor to God for placing me in the hands of Judge Messina, may God bless you sir!
I am an attorney, and I must say that this ALJ is incompetent. He took more than 90 days to finally make a decision on my case, and did not want to approve the fee agreement without giving any reason for it. He then asked me to write a fee petition which he did not want to approve. He further stated that I was only going to get one payment that would cover claimant and all of her dependents, which is against Social Security standards. An attorney gets pay for each separate claim, his client and the auxiliaries (dependents). I had to appeal his decision on this matter to the Chief Regional, and won. I finally got all the attorney fees that were due. This case was seen in January and I finally got paid in August. He needs to be instructed on Social Security guidelines.

He sounds like a fair Judge. I hope I'll get him on my case.

I have handled dozens of cases before Judge Messina. He is one of the most fair ALJs around. There are no pre determinations of clients and he follows the law. It does not matter if you are black, white, blue, or orange. It does not matter if your an SSI only case or someone who has worked for 30 years. If your records and testimony prove your case he will award benefits and if it doesn't then he won't. We need more ALJ's like this. He gets it right more often then not and anyone who says otherwise was probably unprepared or just has an axe to grind.

I found ALJ Messina to be very thorough and he considered all of the facts in my younger claimant's case. He dictated the decision right there in the courtroom and it was in my mailbox the next day. That's pretty awesome service!

Judge Messina was compassionate, sincere and patient with me on 5 May 2017. In fact, everyone in the room was. He is easy to talk to, helping me to understand (brain disease and brain damage). If you should be fortunate enough to be in front of him, relax. He wants to help people, in my opinion. Nothing but positive thoughts for Judge Messina. He will help you in every way he can. A definite God send.

I read some of these reviews and I don't know what to make of them, especially the first one from some attorney who just destroyed Judge Messina. Given the fact that I once worked for some of the finest attorney's that Milwaukee has to offer and met a lot of judges in the aforementioned capacity, that one caught my attention. Based on my experience, keeping in mind I might not be as sharp as I used to be before my stroke, but I'm also not stupid, I found Judge Messina to be a very sharp and astute person. I question whether the one comment was actually written by an attorney. So far, he's been fair to me and I will know for certain when the final decision is written, but I couldn't disagree more with the alleged attorney. Time will tell, but so far, a good and decent man.

Judge Nagle really seems to understand the disability process. I have appeared before dozens of ALJs in disability cases in Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia and I rank her among the top three. I look forward to having cases with her in the future.

Extremely fair judge with a pleasant demeanor. She gets right to the point and does not waste time with unnecessary questions. She is very respectful of the Claimant and can be interactive with counsel. She handles most of the questioning and the hearings last 30-45 minutes.

This judge should be removed from his post for his offensive, racist, and sexist notes and actions towards others. It is clear he cannot be an impartial participant in a court of law. I am ashamed of the lack of action on the part of other Wisconsin administrators.

This is what a SSI attorney told me, that Wisconsin fired there SS judges because they were not looking at all the medical evidence per case and denying a lot of them just to save the state of Wisconsin money and so the state would get good ratings. So now there is a average of 18 month waits to get a hearing because of the state judges available and are now using Illinois judges on the closed circuit TV.

I fought for my benefits from 2009 to 2017, and it took that long to process past Judge Pleuss. (denied 3 times!) Only got a new judge as Pleuss was 'let go' or "forced into retirement" ... either way, as soon as he moved along, I was approved. Thank goodness the judges with a hidden agenda are gone or on notice, and facts will be heard now.

Judge Sanzi clearly makes himself familiar with the claim files. He puts a lot of thought into his decisions. If a claim is not meritorious, it won't be paid. That's just doing the job the right way.

Always tries to make the right decision in each case, carefully applying the law as it is written, not as some reps might want it to be. Can't ask for more from a judge.

Judge Sanzi is dedicated to fairly applying the law to the facts of the case before him. That may not always result in an award of benefits, but he's just doing his job. He treats the claimants with respect.

Judge Sanzi clearly enjoys writing about himself on here. I have represented clients for 17 years before countless ALJ's. This man is utterly disgusting to appear before. He clearly has his mind made up before the hearing. He is in the top 3 worst judges I have appeared before. Sure not everyone deserves benefits but his approval rating is so unfair. People pay in but if you become disabled and have to appear before this moron you might as well forget getting your money out of the system. This judges record is going to ultimately cost him his job. Judge Sanzi shame on you, you should think of all the lives your ruining and start having some morals. FIND GOD, YES THERE IS A POWER GREATER THAN YOU, BEG FOR FORGIVENESS.

This man is clearly biased and unfair. Denied my husband even though none of the jobs in the national data base would work for him according to the vocational expert. Plays the system. My husband will be 50 soon so now that he has been determined to not be disabled, IF and I say IF he does get it at 50, there will probably be no back pay. Not fair, Not just. He is operating at 1/3 of the approval ratings as his peers. Time for a calibration to the standard. This is why people hate lawyers.

I had Judge Sanzi for my unrepresented hearing yesterday. After reading the comments on this page, I was in a severe depression and my anxiety almost prevented me from even attending my hearing. Judge Sanzi was the most personalable and nice person I could have expected to hear my case. I felt he was fair, he listened even if I started to go off on a tangent. I was terrified that this would be a tear-filled hour of disappointment but I have some confidence that my impairments will be understood and hopefully the law is in my favor. Crossing my fingers.

I would be happy to appear before ALJ Sanzi any time. He conducts a logically organized, fair hearing. He treats both the claimant and the representative respectfully, ensures the claimant understands what is happening, encourages the the claimant to ask questions if he does not understand something. He gives no indication of having pre-judged the case or of just "going through the motions." He asks reasonable hypotheticals and doesn't go over the top with endless restrictions. He may rule against my claimant (after working with him and his "inaccurate" answers to my questions about work after onset, an unfavorable decision might even be appropriate), but he conducted a fair and impartial hearing. Just because an ALJ doesn't have a high allowance rate doesn't make him a bad judge or an evil person. Get a grip. If he makes his decisions the way he conducts his hearings, then he will make reasoned determinations that he will support with his findings from the file and the testimony. And he may, therefore, deny claims. He's doing his job.

I NEVER THOUGHT A JUDGE COULD USE HIS OWN OPINION OF WHAT IS OR ISN'T AN ILLNESS EVEN WHEN IT IS PROVEN BY DOCTOR'S TESTOMY AND RECORDS. THIS MAN SHOULD BE EDUCATED IN ALL TYPES OF DISABILITIES, EVEN ONES ABOVE THE NECK. YOUR BRAIN CONTROLS EVERYTHING YOUR BODY DOES, YET HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN MENTAL ILLNESS, IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD. MAYBE HE SHOULD SPEAK TO VETS AND FIND OUT WHAT PTSD IS, MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE A PANIC ATTACK OR NOT BE ABLE TO SLEEP FOR DAYS IN A ROW. MAYBE HE SHOULD TAKE MEDICATIONS THAT RELIEVE THE SYMTOMS BUT CAUSE HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS....OR MAYBE HE SHOULD STOP PLAYING GOD.

Follow-up comment now that I've received Judge Sanzi's decision on my claimant's case: Decision is well-written, concise, clear so that most claimant's could understand it. In spite of the fact the my claimant hid his/her return to work after the initial onset date, Judge Sanzi still gave him/her the benefit of the doubt. But based on his/her age, a sedentary rating equaled a finding of "not disabled." Not the decision I wanted for my claimant, but a well-reasoned and appropriate one. Will probably never appear before him again, but still believe he was fair, respectful, professional.

I wonder how long it takes to get a decision back because I've been waiting for over a month and haven't got a letter or anything back can anybody give me a ballpark and how long it takes thank you . because I just told the judge I really didn't care about the disability check with a bag but check all I really needed was insurance because my health is in bad shape.

Thank God Sanzi is no longer in Wisconsin. He cannnot waste anymore of anyones time here. He is not worthy of being a disability judge. Another commentator was absolutely correct. He makes a judgement before the hearing. He is a narcistic person. All the 5 stars on this page are his own. Shows his narcistic behavior. How many times have you been remanded Sanzi? Sure felt good to see at least one in my favor. Glad you got the boot out of WI. You are not fair and obviously your interpretation of the law and yourself isn't working so well for you. Keep on it and hopefully will see you lose your seat on the bench. I feel sorry for the IL folks who get the unpleasant experience of sitting before your arrogance and ignorance. Those that live with a disability know what I am talking about. You won't until it someday comes upon you. I would not wish it on anyone. Grow some understanding and get it right for once.

Those that live with a disability know what I am talking about. You won't until it someday comes upon you. I would not wish it on anyone. Grow some understanding and get it right for once.
Thank God Sanzi is no longer in Wisconsin. He cannnot waste anymore of anyones time here. He is not worthy of being a disability judge. Another commentator was absolutely correct. He makes a judgement before the hearing. He is a narcistic person. All the 5 stars on this page are his own. Shows his narcistic behavior. How many times have you been remanded Sanzi?

He comes off sort of eccentric and rather unprofessional for a Judge. It doesn't seem like he is paying attention to your testimony at all. Also I dont get the impression he read my medical records either. I think he just wants to deny people and doesn't care about much otherwise. Also if you have him for a video hearing he leaves the screen multiple times, it's really strange.

I think it's wonderful that Judge Sanzi and his staff care enough about the comments to write their own and post them. Thought the one from the lawyer who thinks it was cool to deny his client was a little far-fetched (and poorly written), but kudos to the staff for imagining this is how we might feel about out clients. Again, a 16% approval rate (two standard deviations below the average) speaks volumes to his approach and "fairness."

He doesn't approve cases that are very strong. I've done hundreds and hundreds of cases and the case I had before him was very obvious and well deserving. Client had been in a diabetic coma and was sent to a nursing home afterwards and received home health aide services. But the ALJ argued he could do very physically hard work still! It just doesnt make sense and seems it will be an appeal. If only we had a different ALJ my client would of been approved. I'm sorry but there's no way only 17% of the cases he sees deserve benefits and the other 83% don't. It's pretty ridiculous! Also there's other ways to get approved for SSDI/SSI than meeting the listing, he doesn't seem to really accept that! Like having a combination of multiple impairments that equal listing level or not being able to do sedentary work. Another, fair ALJ would of approved my client on either one of those factors.

This judge denied that I had stenosis. I have medical records that prove that I do have it. Completely ignored that I have 3 herniated discs in my neck along with stenosis, as well as stenosis of my spine. Facts were completely ignored. According to him I can be retrained to enter the workforce despite my age being 62 and I wear a back brace and walk with a cane. I am sure a prospective employer would really take me seriously. Sure. Absolutely disgraceful.

I appeared before the Honorable Judge Sanzi on 1/5/18 via video hearing regarding my disability case. He approved my case as partially favorable, which I greatly appreciate. However, he made my onset date the same date of his decision on 7/10/18. I went in to the SSI office to find out what my options are. The SSA rep stated that she has never seen a judge make the onset the same date of his decision in the 17 years she has been working for SSA. I do not want to appeal because I have already been waiting for over 3 years for a decision. I sent a certified letter to his office in August 2018 and have not heard anything back. I have tried calling the office and when I finally was able to reach someone she gave me a number to call in Florida that was disconnected. This onset date affects everything, especially my waiting period for Medicare, which I desperately need. PLEASE HELP! Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my case.

My experience is that Judge Schaefer was setting up the case for the claimant to fail. He was a former prosecutor and it felt like my client was gently being cross examined and led into negative statements which exaggerated what he could do, and which led to what I believe was an improper denial.

Judge Schaefer is an awesome man, takes in all the information in all fairness. It didn't take him long to do my paperwork and get me a decision. If I had to do this all again and had a chance to choose my judge I'd go through it with him.

This is what a SSI attorney told me, that Wisconsin fired there SS judges because they were not looking at all the medical evidence per case and denying a lot of them just to save the state of Wisconsin money and so the state would get good ratings. So now there is a average of 18 month waits to get a hearing because of the state judges available and are now using Illinois judges on the closed circuit TV.

After an hour and 45 minute hearing I felt the judge was pushing to deny my disability! The judge appointed jobs person answered the judges questions and came to the conclusion I was unable to work! If unable to work how is a person suppose to survive??? The judge made a decision on the review of 2 doctor reports that never even seen me they had just read the (I say false) report of the one they sent me to!!! Which I seen again July 2016 and he said to me only good thing was my heart, whether or not he put that in my report or not, if not I don't feel it should be valid to use at my next hearing! I first applied Oct 2011 now here it is Jan 2017 still waiting on second hearing and on the verge of homeless!

I wish you the best with this one. He will overlook objective medical evidence and try to discredit you with leading questions which have no relevance to the facts. He will direct bias and discrimination based on your testimony and what you look like. When you lose take it to remand and then move onto Federal court where his decision will likely be overturned as can be seen on his reversals in Federal court. However, plan on this taking up to 10 yr. from when you initially filed providing you have the resources to live and they don't starve you out in the meantime. I am presently in Federal court and totally enjoying exposing an individual who has no business ruling cases. Best of luck!

What can I say ,17 thing wrong with me,and this ALJ set and lied any way he could to stop me from getting SSDI,have worked 33 years at back braking jobs,and when no one will hire you because of the bad shape you are in Very sad that this is how we the people are treated this ALJ needs to step down and retire

I pray anyone who gets this judge reads this. This Judge asked the VE in my husband's case one hypothetical question about having to elevate his feet. The VE said there were no jobs. This caused the lawyer to not cross examine. Well the judge denied his claim saying he didn't believe he was being truthful about the intensity or persistence of his pain and need to elevate his feet. So no other limitations were addressed such as missed work due to his pain condition etc. Three years we've been going through hardships and our shot in court was stolen from us because the judge used trickery and the lawyer fell for it. This judge is here to deny claims and he's good at it! Our family is broken. Be aware and make sure your lawyer is aware

I have not received my judgement yet but Judge Spalo and his assistants had the room at ease.. He asked questions and got an understanding of my serious condition... In which I pray is justified.. My lawyer and I have an understanding and I feel the truth Will set me free...

I read the comment above about trickery. I certainly agree. He is very unfair and he makes It to where your own attorney thinks it's going good, when in fact it's not. If the V.E thinks there's jobs for you then you'll lose your case. Period!! Even if you can't preform it with your limitations. William Spalo, doesn't even take your own Doctors opinion into consideration, if they believe your disabled. He will pick apart their opinion and medical evidence. He will also twist your words around. Also, make sure when they send you to their Doctors that they document your limitations. If they agree your disabled, It must be in writing why? They may not even help your case. It seems to me that he does his job anyway he can to deny your claim. Hopefully, my friends attorney appeals his ruling. In his ruling they're so many discrepancy. I can't believe he's still a judge.

I think William Spalo was a wonderful, fair and sweet honest judge. He listens to both sides carefully, he actually let me talk freely, somewhat, but that's way more than any other judges. He was so sweet about my legs and my blood clots he actually got off the stand and helped me put my legs up! He was a great judge! He gets back to you with a decision within 30 to 40 days. He got back to me before 30 days. He was great. My other judge was so different! She didn't let me say anything, constantly said my doctors were of no credibility which only hers were. She also took months to give me a decision! This judge listened to both doctors. Very refreshing and very friendly and makes you feel at ease considering most of us have been through so much already. I honestly think he is great. Winning or not, I would say the exact same thing, no matter my outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better judge. He really seems to care a lot about people. I wish I could thank him for being so great! He is wonderful at his job.

He got most if not all the facts of my fiancés case wrong. Simple things like whether or not she has glasses, and she was wearing them. He said she doesn't have a car, yet she does. He deserves no accolades.
