This is a terrible judge. Please don't get her. She has the WORST rating among judges for approval. She doesn't seem to understand. I took a bad fall in Dec. of 2010 and torn up my left knee. I cannot stand for any length of time, I can only sit for about 15 mins before both legs go completely numb, then I cannot stand without nearly falling. I can't even get into a tub to bathe. She has no REAL idea as to how I function on a daily basis.

I appeared before Judge Bruning for the first time. She was very polite and treated the claimant with the utmost respect. She is well prepared for the hearing and will asked detailed questions to the claimant and representative. We aren't sure of the outcome yet, but the overall feeling of the hearing was positive.

I had a video hearing because Milwaukee County is so backlogged. I was nervous and intimidated by Judge Bruning. She was not kind, but not unkind either. She asked me rapid fire questions and I got flustered. I kept apologizing to my attorney because I knew I wasn't making sense. Then I waited, and waited. I was told by my attorney that Judge Bruning made her decision regarding my case at the end of July, although he couldn't find out what the decision was. It is now the middle of October! Does this judge not realize that her decision affects people's lives? Their futures? It is not fun being sick/disabled in the USA.
So i had my hearing on 6/13 and wanted to take time to say Thank you to Judge JANICE M BRUNING for being receptive to my medical conditions and allowing me to participate in my hearing via telephone..despite some of the negative reviews I've read ..I feel very different about her..I felt she was very engaging,very nice and she listened to my concerns and conditions..she didn't make me feel nervous talking to her ...not sure how backlogged her office is and how long it'll take to get her decision but i'm very optimistic and grateful she took time to hear my case..
Had my hearing 05/2017 in front of ALJ Bruning - Fully Favorable Thank you Judge Bruning!!! Such a difference from my 1st filing in 1999-2001 - DENIED ALJ Bruning was very fair. It is sad that the prior ALJ (not ALJ Bruning), in which I had an ex-disability Judge representing me who said I knew more about my conditions than he did, not rule Fully Favorable!
This judge was understanding and asked questions professionally. Have not received decision as of yet but I do give credit to her for being professional and understanding.
Potassium 1 tablet a day, (because of the Lasix I take for my congestive heart failure); Furosemide 20mg 1 tablet a day, (to prevent water retention around my heart); Lisinopril 20mg 1 tablet twice a day, (for heart function); Metoprolol 50mg 1 tablet twice a day (for blood pressure); Atorvastatin 40mg 1 a day, (for cholesterol); Metformin 500 mg twice a day, (to control diabetes); Tylenol with Codeine, 1 tablet every four hours, (for fibro myalgia and degenerative disc disorder pain); 81mg aspirin, 1 a day to prevent stroke and control heart); melanoma cancer and now breast cancer. Tremor in left arm with severe weakness. This is what I take on a daily basis and I'm not considered disabled? I worked two jobs my entire life and served eight years in the United States Navy some of which was during ODS, and this is what my government and you Judge Ferrar consider fair. There are so many people out there cheating our system and you denied me my benefits that I paid into all my life. Because the State of Illinois wouldn't give me Medicaid, because I didn't fulfill their criteria for coverage at the time and couldn't see a doctor, because I didn't have any money or insurance, you decided I wasn't disabled. Your decision Judge Ferrar was not right in my case and you know it. Go after the cheaters who lie and get disability and have never worked or fought for this country.
Current medical/mental health team evidence was not even considered. The only evidence she deemed "persuasive" was the testimony of professionals that had not been seen in a very long time. Had a terrible disposition during hearing. Cut off Counsel and unbiased third parties during hearing in order to interject her opinion and clearly holds her own opinion above those of medical professionals.
It my belief he pays more attention to social security doctors then claiments personal doctors who know claiments cases , its my hope he would realize people need to be given fair unbias decisions to his cases.
He "throws the baby out with the bathwater." If anything you say doesn't match up, no matter how miniscule, he seizes on it and calls you a liar in fancy legalese. And apparently people seeking disability are not disabled and can work an 8 hour day, 40 hour week (as defined by SS law) if they use a smartphone―according to his accusatory comments. Never mind apps for the disabled; large keyboards, speech to text, just having a smartphone is a no no as well as a PC. I'm still wondering why an Illinois Republican SS judge is hearing State cases in Indiana and from a video feed in Illinois? His high approval rate is smoke and mirrors, a lot of his cases don't even show up and those are not factored in. The stats also only reflect his cases in Illinois, not other States like Indiana that he rents himself out to. He also discredits State agencies which is disturbing considering he is not even an Indiana judge and really has no idea how it differs from Illinois except maybe on paper. He also discredits Primary Care doctors the same way as a claimant, by nickle and diming their statements and making partial claims of claimant statements without expanding on what the claimant said afterwards. For example, if someone says that they use a smartphone but use apps to help the disabled, he leaves out that you use apps for the disabled and says you use a smartphone as if that in and of itself is a disqualifier. Or if your doctor says you are disabled, he will find in your record the one time you said you were feeling a bit better and latch onto that as meaning that it's permanent and that you can work 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week and that your doctor is unreliable. Oh and this post was created by speech to text, God forbid he thinks someone can type for 10 minutes, then they must be able to work! Truth be told it seems these SS Judges are the prime beneficiaries of SS funds through their exorbitant salaries, and not the people who it's actually there for. *Fina's public sector salary info is out there and it's an insult to taxpayers and he is but one judge. *In 2016, Joel G. Fina was an Administrative Law Judge at the Social Security Administration in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. began working at the Social Security Administration in 2006 with a starting salary of $115,555. Since then, Fina's salary has increased to $170,400 in 2016
What mess she is. This one denied me why i don't know when all the evidence was right in front of her how can this slob sleep at night.
I have no opinion. I had my hearing in early September. I'm still waiting on a decision. The stress is killing me. Do I lose everything I've worked the last 30 years for or not. I didn't ask to be disabled. I'm not just disabled from working. I'm disabled from being able to enjoy my grandkids. I can't take a walk with my husband. I can't go along with the kids to the park. I can't even carry my 4 month old granddaughter. I'm only 54 but my life stopped a few years ago when my back gave out. Now I'm in constant pain. I have a stimulator implanted which helps, but I'm still in constant pain. Here I am, my life in the hands of someone who does not know me. The "30 to 60" day decision is on day 84 now. I really wish I could have just kept working and not face the endless consequences of poor physical health......

Linda, I am in the same boat. Had my appeal hearing on 1-2 2013. My attorney says they may have a decision by end of April. I don't get it. What takes them so long? My life is hanging in the balance and getting sicker by the day. Anyone out there have a clue? Mary

This judge has approval rating of 43% and apparently uses the same justification for all her cases. She states while the impairment is "severe" and there is objective evidence to support it, she does not agree with limitations and pain expressed. Who is she to know how much pain somoneone is in and how can she deny the medical evidence that supports the pain? Shameful..

This ALJ used to be in the NHC in Chicago. Her award rate has been fairly consistent. She is pleasant, sometimes ready to start hearings early. She asks for opening and then she questions claimant. A good, strong work history is always a plus. She will do bench decisions too. In my experience this ALJ is very fair. All judges have to formuate opinions on crediblity and severity of symptoms.

When the court started judge Lariccia read off to me my condition. She had not read all my medical and when told this at the hearing she still could not accessit without my lawyers help. She went into the hearing with precocieved notions and never changed them. When the vocational counselor from the state went over jobs he stated i couldnot perform light duty with my conditions I stated to the Judge. In her decision Judge Lariccia said she agrees with the doctor that I have severe pain but I can still perform a light duty job. Then she spelled out what i could perform as it relates to lifting. Noware in any reports or FCE did it say I could do that. Also she said the vocational couselor said I could perform light duty with my spoken evidence. He never said that. I faxed in a release for the hearing proceedings and never recieved them. In my opinion Judge Lariccia was not prepared for the case, and looking at her basis for decision she never read all the medical.

Very unhappy this judge mixing up all the facts in the case and also not looking into the misdiagnosis on my case file. I had severe pain in my back upper and lower and possible nerve damage, I was bed ridden for months even and currently in physical therapy. The judge had the vocational counselor come out and tell me I could do work in a factory which indeed could harm my health condition, I could not believe this when I heard it. Not only did the judge make many assumptions she thought I was just perfectly fine, she took everything out of context and reversed it backwards on me. I even sent her more evidence as to her mistakes in her judgements, she never looked at my case and dismissed everything.. my new evidence and xrays , Dr's letters etc. The fact my case was from the get go misdiagnosed and my previous condition of 15 years erased and now I am classified as having some mental condition I was appalled and disgusted with this I will surely appeal with a lawyer. No wonder she has a 43% approval rating, thanks for the facts.
Respectful and thoughtful. Really seems to try to gain a deeper understanding through her questions as opposed to maintaining a rigid routine. Decisions are well written and rational.

had three very good cases heard before him on the same day. he denied them all. Because of the chance that a case might be assigned to this judge, at least while the secret judge rule was being applied, I always advised my clients against agreeing to video hearings with the Chicago NHC.

Allowing someone is always easier than making a comprehensive review of the facts and the law

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
very good judge to me.
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.
This was one of the best ALJs I have ever dealt with!! He was more than fair & patient with a new rep who gave a new rep ample time to compile & submit evidence & gave ample opportunity to review our case objectively! It is a shame he had to retire & hopefully his space was filled with a comparable, objective ALJ who is impartial & who looks at the whole case & not ready to deny immediately!

Judge has one of the highest denial rates in this office. Even though these hearings are non-adversarial, he conducts hearings as if claimants are on trial. One can tell he has already made up his mind before the hearing. Not surprising when you research his background -- he use to be the Attorney for the Office of General Counsel, Social Security Administration (in other words, he argued on behalf of SSA when claimants appealed their decision to the federal court). When giving hypotheticals to vocational experts, he conveniently leaves out key limitations. In short, go in planning to appeal -- therefore, make the record clear, object, and cross-examine witnesses so you can have appealable issues.

Well I would have to give him less than zero. I am going blind due to an inherited eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa. I have no periphreal vision left, I cannot see outside of the rim of my water glass. I have fallen down a flight of stairs leaving me with 2a bulges in my vertebrae, I was told by the state medical eye examiner that I am legally blind and am not allowed to drive. The depression from going blind is too much to bear, I cry almost every day. First my eyes are failing now I cant drive. I am a genetic defect and it is not my fault. This disease affects only. 05% of the entire world and there is no cure. It leads to complete tunnel vision, where you can only see through a hole, and then it leads to complete blindness. I waited 22before months in agony, hungry, worried,terrified because I cannot get the help I need, and then a denial by judge studzinski. I need more than anything to go to the guild for the blind in chicago where I was invited to learn braille and mobility training and join a support group. I am so mentally unstable with depression I cannot express my agony in words. There are no words to describe my fear. I have been dealing with the loss of vision since 2006. It is so far gone now that I am afraid I wont get the help I need when I go blind. I am terrified I wont be prepared. I dont know if I can make it as a blind person at all. I can thank judge studzinski for making my life worse than it has ever been. Close your eyes for an entire day and imagine being blind. I would rather be in a wheel chair with no arms or legs.I cry all day and it hurts so bad that noone will help someone going blind.

This disease affects only. 05% of the entire world and there is no cure. It leads to complete tunnel vision, where you can only see through a hole, and then it leads to complete blindness. I waited 22before months in agony, hungry, worried,terrified because I cannot get the help I need, and then a denial by judge studzinski. I need more than anything to go to the guild for the blind in chicago where I was invited to learn braille and mobility training and join a support group. I am so mentally unstable with depression I cannot express my agony in words. There are no words to describe my fear. I have been dealing with the loss of vision since 2006. It is so far gone now that I am afraid I wont get the help I need when I go blind. I am terrified I wont be prepared. I dont know if I can make it as a blind person at all. I can thank judge studzinski for making my life worse than it has ever been. Close your eyes for an entire day and imagine being blind. I would rather be in a wheel chair with no arms or legs.I cry all day and it hurts so bad that noone will help someone going blind.
This is a continuation of my previous post. I was denied social security by judge studzinski on august 20th and today august 24th i recieved a letter from medicaid applied on june of 2012the saying I am eligible for medicaid for the BLIND starting september 1st 2012.This judge is not only less than zero he is bias, discriminatory, and sick. I am going BLIND for Gods sake and this man has the lowest respect I have ever had for another human being. If I can I am filing charges against him in Hammond federal court. This is a discrace against the needy and the blind and he should be made accountable for my poverty hunger and confinement to my house. I cant go get help from the guild for the blind, no, he said I should return to work. And p.s. the medicaid people said it was doctor jason brooks, social securities own doctor for the state of indiana that signed my papers for the blind and p.s.s attorney tom scully is the worst lawyer ive ever witnessed. I have never heard or seen such an unproffesional, missing half my documents, unprepared loser in my life. I am ashamed of the law that represented me and i am even more ashamed of judge studzinski.

On page 13 of 15 Judge Studzinski argued the opinion of "suzanne lee" saying he "thinks my vision is more like 25%I which does not meet ssa guidelines. He didnt bother to look at the signature of the doctor. Jason Brooks is my doctor. I was sent to him by the social security administration. Judge Studzinski is arguing that his own state appointed doctor for the social security administration. He states that the medical examiner for the state of indiana and representing the social security administration is incorrect. How could this be Judge Studinski? And his tests were included in the finding to support this. Those test results were in your opinion not satisfactory as commented at my hearing. Well, why do they have tests for blindness then? Why does the state of indiana employee state appointed doctors to tell social security the truth. Like I said, he wants to go above a medical experts decisionand create his own. What has happened to me is a tradegy and a disgrace. I hope this never happens to anyone else with this condition in any other state, by any other Judge.

His exact words as described by social securities own medical examiner on line 12 "patient has less than 20 degrees of visual field which meets the ssd definition of legal blindness". I guess a judge, not a doctor let alone the states own medical examiner knows what I can see. Well, he does not. He is not a doctor or a specialist of the eye. I cannot believe this judge is allowed to sit on a bench and make up whatever story he wants about my vision and its allowed. Thats why the state has their own state appointed doctors. So that there can be an accurate and legally binding decision made about blindness. If it were up to the judges to decide without legal decisions from their own doctors it would be a farse like this. This is illegal and it is wrong to make up your own findings and decisions. Thats what medical doctors for the state are here for. To help people like me and keep people that lie from lying.

Ive never seen a Dr. Lee in my life. Badmouthing the states own doctor REPEATEDLY throughout the entire 15 pages, quite a charm. I have visited this page NUMEROUS times because I am besides myself with misunderstanding of the truth and the LAW. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE............... know justice........... know peace

as an attorney who has been in front of him, i have to agree that he spends a lot of time letting you know he needs to be shown evidence on every little point. he treats everyone with little respect (by talking over attorneys and claimants to make any point he thinks is important and questioning claimants as if they are all liars) and clearly looks for any reason to give everyone a hard time. he questions treating source opinions as if the doctors will just say anything to help a claimant.

Why is this guy still a judge? He is rude, crude, biased and acts like the claimant is a criminal. Why hasn't anyone sued for this? We should all get together.

I haven't gotten the decision from him yet, but if the hearing is any indicator, it will be a denial. This man treats you like you are on trial for a crime rather than seeking help. He was outright rude to my attorney. If I get approved for this I will be shocked. But, it ain't over til it's over. He may surprise me yet...

This judge really needs to be investigated he has a hundred percent denial rating and treats individuals like criminals... my girlfriend had this man she said he was very rude and inconsiderate... he would let her or her attorney finish their sentences he would interrupt them... people with disabilities are not criminals one day you'll be disabled and I hope you get treated like your criminal judge or one of your other family members get treated that way... shame on you... for how you treat other's this man needs to be remove from his set...

This guy is so rude. Love the hoop earring too! smh This guy should not be a judge. He acts like he has a chip on his shoulders. He interrupted every single person in the room and spoke to the claimant as if he were lying or on trial. Even our rep was shocked! This is a SSDI hearing and SHOULD NOT be adversarial! This judge was unbelievable. Someone should sue him. This hearing was awful.

I received my Letter of Denial from Judge Edward Studzinski, and I found it very unfair that he only used parts of my medical information, and only took parts of my testimony from the hearing, to create his denial decision. I honestly don't know how this is okay for him to do, or allowed. It is not surprising to find out he used to work for Social Security, as an attorney, against people filing for disability.
I've never met a judge or public servant as rude as him in my life. The vocational expert listed all the jobs that i was qualified for with the medical conditions that i have. i responded back with; "How many of those jobs am i qualified to perform while taking the medications that i take daily which are lyrica, flexeril, percocet, elavil, TOPOMAX, AND WARFARIN. MY PAIN MANAGEMENT AND ORTHOPEDIC DOCTORS WANT ME TO BE ON DISABILITY BUT, AFTER MY BLOOD CLOTTING PROBLEMS EVENED OUT MY HEMATOLOGIST WROTE IN MY MEDICAL RECORDS, "MAY RESUME NORMAL WORK AND HOME ACTIVITIES. REFER TO OTHER TREATING PHYSICIANS FOR FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS." THIS DOOR KNOB OF A JOB QUOTES THE HEMATOLOGY REPORT AND SAYS TO ME; "tHIS PERSON IS A DOCTOR, AND SHE SAYS; "YOU CAN RETURN TO WORK!" I TOLD HIM; "MY DENTIST IS CONSIDERED A DOCTOR, AND MY SON'S PEDIATRICIAN IS CONSIDERED A DOCTOR. MY OPTOMETRIST WHO OPERATED ON MY EYE WHICH IS BLIND FROM ACCIDENT, WHO THE STATE SAYS IT ISN'T BLIND IS A DOCTOR, HOWEVER IF I WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART OR LIVER TRANSPLANT, I WOULDN'T WANT NONE OF THE 3 DOING THE PROCEDURE, AND I DOUBT YOU WOULD EITHER. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE MEDICATIONS AND LAID THEM ON THE TABLE, ALONG WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS AND WARNINGS, AND THEN ASKED THE VOCATIONAL EXPERT WHAT JOBS I COULD PERFORM WHILE TAKING THOSE MEDICATIONS 3 AND SOME 4 TIMES A DAY, SHE SAID THE JOBS AVAILABLE ARE ZERO. MY APPEAL WAS HEARD IN THE MIDDLE OF LAST MARCH. I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET THE RESULTS OF MY APPEAL IN 30-40 DAYS. I'M STILL WAITING AND IT'S THE END OF JULY.
He was an unprofessional jerk. I truly believe he was intoxicated at my hearing. He made the advocate cry and he screamed like a little pig. Was so unorganized..... Refuse to let me have a copy of the proceedings to prove he was drunk. I plan on running him to him someday soon. He refused to let me cross exam any witness. I'm suffering from heart disease which has caused massive depression and anxiety. Over paid piece of crap.... I've paid into as for 30 years yet its being given to illegals that haven't paid a dime.
I've had several hearings before this judge. If you prepare your hearings well he can be very approachable. Submit a prehearing brief at least 3-4 days prior to the hearing. I've found the best approach is to discuss each allegation individually and outline objective findings. This does not have to be long and formal. Simply open noting any major issues (outstanding records, DLI issues, amending onset). Keep your brief simple and to the point. Address any issues - DAA, lack treatment... In closing you can address proposed RFC or GRID argument. If you don't have objective support for an allegation he is not going to give it a lot of weight. He is very favorable to treating source statements and opinions. He will tell you why he has an issue with the claim - address that issue specifically and support your argument with direct citation to the record. Know your record and cite, cite, cite! Be prepared to amend your onset for GRID and/or lack of treatment. He will come right out and ask about listings - do not make a loose listing argument, just move on to step 4 or 5. He will go back and forth with you about the allegations and can be persuaded. If you come in prepared and submit the brief ahead of time your hearing will go much more smoothly and you will give your client an increased likelihood of approval.
He was very nice at my hearing
This was my second hearing. The judge from my first hearing retired. This judge said out loud that he was inclined to approve my claim between 2010 and 2012. But wanted more evidence that I was still disabled. My lawyer got him the exact information he asked for. My mental health doctor that I have been seeing for nearly seven years reported that I have severe PTSD and severe anxiety / panic attacks. The judge claimed I need to be graded as severe by my doctors. He received that information. He also wanted evidence that I was still physically disabled. My orthopedic surgeon reported his diagnoses that I was 100% disabled. That I was a functional parapatetic. Meaning that while I can move my arms, I have little use. Also that I am at risk of injury if I work, seeing get that I have broken my wrist in 2012 and didn'the know. I got 3rd degree burns and my arm in 2011 and didn'the know again. I'very received numerous stitches do to cutting myself in and around the house and not knowing until I saw blood. I take Valium daily, some times numerous times a day do to my mental health problems. Who will be liable if i hurt myself or somone else at work because of my diabilities as well as being on valium. My doctor will never release me to ever work again. Am i now supposed to take medical advise from the judge? This judge ignored everything. The first vocation expert said that I could not do any jobs. This judge ignored it. This judge cherry picked various words from different statements, put them together and spun a narrative that allowed for a denial. I could have been a Quadrapalegic on a ventilator with severe brain damage and he would have still denied. My medical evidence cover exactly what the law says my limittens need to be to be approved. Actually my medical evidence more than covers all requirments. On Oct 1st I will be turning over all off my files ruling and all paperwork to an I've investigative journalist and a watchdog group here in illinois, as well as in Washington dc. Maybe when their bias and discrimination are splashed on the front page of the newspaper and the 10 pm news this judge will be fully exposed. This has been seven years. I will never get rich on disability. Even if I never win I will make it my mission in life to expose lying manipulative judges like this.

After my wife and I reviewed judge studzinski's ruling further, while preparing a formal complaint as well as a discrimination complaint.....we discovered that this judge fabricated evidence (a statement) that was never in anything, anywhere. Then used that fabricated statement numerous times in his unfavorable ruling. This judge obviously discriminates against everyone to some point. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why the average approval in Oakbrook is double his average. It is him. I can'tell wait to expose him to the world. A person like him should not be in a position of authority. The other judges and especially the appeals council should be ashamed of him, as well as themselves for allowing this person to act on people's lives as he does.
To anyone that has filed a review on judge Studzinski that felt the judge messed up their case. Writing a review on here is great to vent and see that others have had the same problems with this judge. However no changes will ever happen with reviews here. Make sure you file complaints against this judge. I will be filing a discrimination complaint against judge Studzinski as well as a Complaint with the Division of Quality of Service. We all need to report this judge. This judges ruling on my case was virtually all fabricated. Filing official complaints is the only way to get his behavior noticed. I am also going to be having an investigative journalist as well as a watchdog group investigate my case. If you'd like you can contact me at my name at the place where mail is hot. Or contact the Illinois watchdog group.org. There are also groups in D.C. that can help.
For the many people who have been abused by the unnecessarily rude and adversarial misconduct of this judge, your formal complaints should be directed to: Sherry D. Thompson, Regional Chief Administrative Law Judge Social Security Administration 200 W. Adams Street, Suite 2901 Chicago, IL 60606 This is the only process that will get any attention. The Division of Quality Service (DOQ) is required to review and respond to all such legitimate complaints. Being unhappy with his decision will not get attention, but his notorious rude and adversarial behavior should get attention because it violates specific SSA rules against adversarial conduct. Statistics are kept to track the number of complaints against each judge. The is the best process to help get this judge removed. Everyone should file complaints. Too many people are abused by this judge.
Unfortunately it takes 5 minutes of research to find out that the ALJ chief Sherry Thompson is being investigated for corruption as well as much other wrong doing. So whoever left the message to contact her about judge Studzinski needs to understand this.......... Pot Kettle. They are both corrupt and there is nothing we can do about it. Nobody cares if the judge is a **** or a complete ***. He should however not be biased. And the fact that he lie's so easily and often should disturb everyone. Hey Lawyers, you are the people in position to file ethics complaints against these judges. People that are truly disabled are being screwed. #disabledanddenied
I had my hearing today, and although I went in very nervous about the judge, he was friendly and professional, nothing scary like all these reviews. He was upset at the incompetence of my lawyer but so was I (although I did not show it or say it). I'm hoping I get a fully favorable decision, even though my lawyer tricked me into changing my onset date :/ I guess I'll find out in a couple months.
Hello your Honorner my name is Robert Vroman. I have been trying get a hold of someone to give them a phone number to the medical records office so you get my medical records for my case.
I highly recommend Judge Templin for the federal bench as a U.S. District Court Judge. He is learned in the law and has the judicial temperament to exercise authority and ensure orderly procedure in the courtroom. Terry M. Louie

This so called Judge did,nt look at any of my medical evedence, Talking, making commetary while my Attorney asked me and the Experts questions, When I gave my ansewers he made comentary over my ansewers, He did'nt conduct himself properly, This was not conducted anything like a hearing, Going before him is a complete waist of time, I think this Judge has something wrong in head.

This so call judge acted so sympathetic to me and could clearly see how much pain was in yet he denied me anyway tell me where is the justice. I know people who did not put into the social security as I did yet they are drawing money from ssd.I just do not understand this system.

Can you explain, without using the word: CORRUPTION, or mentioning crooks, ie Debra Bice, Carolyn Colvin, Sherry Thompson, David Thompson et al., why a 100% Service-Connected DISABLED veteran, who hasn't been gainfully employed since honorable discharge 1987 would be denied ssdi benefits ? Do you think the SSA has more criminals employed than does the VA ? Have you blown the whistle on any of the crooks you see at the SSA ?
