Excellent ALJ although of late he has been sending people out for every test known to man which does result in a significant delay. He is one of the very few ALJ's in OKC that are "fair". He does most of the questioning and really does not like changing the onset date unless a very good reason is present. He does not want the representative speaking for the claimant and makes them sit opposite each other. Very quite spoken.

Judge Baldwin, Is a very good Judge, real cool, Made me feel comfortable, swore me in and started asking questions about me in general and the specific questions pertaining to my case. I waited 683 days from request for hearing to this date.(22 months) My lawyer stated that the VE couldn't come up with any jobs that I could do....so she felt as if I won. The hearing was only 30 min. long . The tone of the meeting was not adversarial or confrontational.......Strong points of my case :::::work History , 31 and a half years at one job...multi impairments , total hip replacement,,30 percent loss of vision due to mini-stroke suffered while recouping from hip surgery, High blood pressure, and Bi-Polar. I hit the "grid" square in the middle. The luck of the "draw" caused me to be assigned to Mr. Baldwin. It was a "God send". To all the people waiting to see an ALJ. Just hold on and don't give up. If you have medical documentation, you should be fine. Tell the truth and trust that they will see it your way. Biggest point ,,,my lawyer had been in front of this Judge and the VE also, so the fact that she had "worked" them before is HUGE. The judge also asked me about some income after my onset date, I explained to him that I used some sick leave that I had earned over the years , and He said that he would NOT hold it against me and that the onset date would be the date I had put down on my application ,,what a great day in court,,,,,, absolute brilliant....Thank you Judge Baldwin. I cant believe with his approval rate that NO ONE has came here to SAY THANK YOU ,,,YOU CAN FEEL GREAT IN KNOWING YOU WERE HEARD FAIR AND SQUAREj, or at least thanking him,,,because if you get THIS Judge ,,,you Have just been assigned to the best ALJ in the state of Oklahoma .....bar none

He was a legal services lawyer for a long time representing the poor. He is a good judge and a good person in general. He isn't simply just another ALJ, he is the Union Representative for the ALJs in Okc. In other words, he speaks for all the ALJs in that office and represents them in disputes with the social security. He has a powerful position in the agency, but you would never know by just meeting him. He has a high approval rate because he studies every case. He also uses extensive post hearing testing to make sure each person is evaluated essentially from head to toe.

Very consise and to the point.

Had my hearing with this judge. At first I was very scared because of his appearance. He doesn't look like any other judge ive seen. He has long hair a scary tattoo on his arm, and he didn't wear a tie. but he was the kindest person I have ever met. I was having a panic attack when we came into the room, and he stopped everything and focused on me. He calmed me down and breate with me until I could go on. then, he paid my case. Thank you judge Baldwin. god sent you to me and my family.

The day I went to see this Judge I was nervous but he treated me like a human and not a animal like Judge Stults. My case was supposed to go back in front of him. I wish it would have seeing that i was talked to like an animal from Stults( the devil in a robe, very evil).

I had been in front of him once before and he was very nice to me. I had to go back and he had a dr testify about my condition. after the dr said what he had to say, judge Baldwin asked me some questions about my medical care and when I had last saw a dr for it. judge Baldwin was genuinely concerned about me and wanted me to go for treatment as soon as I could get my checks. he made my case a top priority so it would get out faster and told me to take careo of myself when I was leaving. very nice and a good judge too.

Had this judge. He seemed to be a good judge until I got the decision! I had to give up working and pretty much all of my hobbies to include my favorite thing in life GOLF! Yet this judge after numerous times stating I had to give up golf and sold all of my gear at a huge loss and can't stand for more than 15-20 minutes at a time said in his decision that because I PLAY Golf, I show full range of movement and therefore am not disabled! If I lie in court I can go to Jail for perjury but if a judge lies in his decision, I just have to deal with it?!? This is completely unjust and I have asked the appeals panel to review all transcripts and if they find I never said that I actually play golf anymore, I will be suing the heck out of this hack of a judge! Also neither this judge nor my former lawyer could get the VA to release the results of my Traumatic Brain Injury or the name of the doctor that diagnosed it. However I got it within 30 minutes at the federal building VA office?!? This was also used to state My TBI was not proven because they didn't have the doctors report?!? I had my face crushed in 1992 and was knocked out for approximately 20-30 minutes. That is the basic definition of a TBI! This judge is completely incompetent and so is my lawyer Colbert, Cooper, Hill in OKC.

The Judge is incompetent. Your Lawyer is incompetent. Maybe you just have a bad case and lost on merit. He is one of the most liberal ALJ's up there and pays the largest number of cases compared to any other ALJ.

I saw this judge twice. I was frustrated with the entire process, and was irritated that I had a second hearing. He made me comfortable (love his ink and hair, I kinda missed it the second time). He spoke calmly, listened, and treated me with respect. Not your common look of a judge, but I found it very cool and relaxing. He even apologized for everything I went through, and helped me with future resources and treatment plans. Thank you Judge Baldwin!

Judge Baldwin was very good to me and treated me with respect not something the local office or anyone else did . He could tell I was having a hard time with the hearing and he was very patient and helped me calm down and he got onto my lawyer for not speaking in a respectfuly way to me when I didn't speak loud enough and my lawyer took an attitude with me during the hearing. I would give him more stars but there are only 5.

Me.Baldwin is a wonderful judge it's just taken him along time for him to make a decision I was supposed to have a answer from him in March now it's july. My 3 year old son pass away and I'm stuck with funeral bill life expenses and I had no choice to get a part time job to do something to help out the mother of my child my body hurts while I'm at work I hope to hear from him soon.

Thank you so so so much Judge(Sir) Baldwin, You are definitely a God Send. I have worked my entire life, until I absolutely could Not! I've always supported myself somehow, someway, One Day, My Body just Gave up! It's definitely been a downhill slide since, Finally 11/21, he granted me disability. I'm just lost for words and all I have is a Huge Thank you! For all you bashing him, Shame! He's the nicest person I've ever been around, A Real Human! So if you were denied, did you have God #1 documentation #2 & a good lawyer #3! I'll forever be going to Drs because what I have just is not going away there's no cure, I've been going and will continue in hopes, one day, I will get told there is a cure! So if you are trying for disability, open your Bible, go to the Dr and demand your health be taken seriously! And find a good lawyer! I fought for 7 years, so don't give up, especially if you have Documentation!

Well, ALJ Conyers is certainly very kind during a hearing and comes across as very concerned about the client. She does tend to allow the representative to begin the questions, but then interrupts quite often to ask her own questions. Again, though, she is very considerate about this and not at all overbearing. All this being said, she is currently approving only about 15% of all claims that come before her. I do not believe you could come up with those odds if you just rolled a pair of dice at the start of each hearing. Even before she returned to OKC ODAR she only had an overall approval rating of 25-26%, which again is less than the odds of just throwing dice. While it is nice to have a kind ALJ at a hearing, I am sure everyone would be more thrilled to see an ALJ that actually applies the law and evidence to a claim and awards those individuals that obviously meet the requirements for Disability.

She was very kind and considerate when I met her. I have no complainants. it was my first time having any kind of arbitration like that and she went above and beyond to make sure I was not only comfortable but understood everything that was being discussed.

Maybe we should pay the alj per case that is actually completed not a big salary. Bet cases would not take so long to finish then.

Wanted to give my thanks to Judge Conyers for hearing my case even though I was not prepared before hand for what might take place at the hearing. Also for being patient and not getting frustrated with my brain traumatic injury symptoms and PTSD. Since my hearing I have being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as if I didn’t have enough issues already. I have also had complete shoulder surgery and the Veterans Administration has upgraded my need to have my caregiver needs at level 2.

I just wanted to take a few moments and thank Judge Conyers for a fair and honest hearing,as well as considering all evidence submitted to her, along with the testimony of the Vocational Rehabilitation Representative.As a Disabled Veteran,I'm used to being rushed and mostly over-looked by the Veteran's Administration,and was expecting similar treatment.Judge Conyers was very polite and seemed genuinely interested in my case and well-being.She was thorough, but I never felt rushed or uncomfortable during any time we were speaking. My hearing was prompt and on time and did not take nearly as long as I was expecting,which was great for me,as I am physically unable to remain sitting in one position for very long.This is also a credit to Judge Conyers,because she definitely did her homework and was well prepared to hear my case. In closing,I would like to say thank you ,Judge Conyers,for making an expected unpleasant experience much more bearable and pleasant.

Hello Administrative Law Judge, I have been through Adjudication about two years ago, because my life went through very hurting things from the United States of America, Military and Family, unbearable hurt on life beginning over. Just one year ago my Pain Management Doctor located in the Shreveport area administered 4 surgical procedures to help with Mobility and strength in the body after that I was referred to a Physical Therapist to correct the lower pain in the Lumbar area/Strain/Sprain, I have traveled back and forth to the Emergency Room here at Natchitoches Parish Hospital, I could have suffered a hip injury/dislocation. I should be allowed more4 compensation for these injuries, I recently came into the Social Security office to talked about more compensation, they stated you are at the full amount, I asked could I apply for a short term disability, It is something wrong with the handling of my claim. Could you please reevaluate this matter. I was almost cripple with this matter, I am only 55 and I can't loose my strength. Thanks!

Another negative ALJ out of this office. Look for him to try and trip up Claimant's in regard to their testimony. His decisions appear poorly written as well.

This Judge seems to be an idiot. He not only disregards professional reports on one's disability, but he appears disinterested in the whole hearing process. He can't wait to get it over with and deny the poor soul's fate. Someone really needs to review him and make sure he doesn't affect anyone's life ever again. This is serious. He has no idea how devestating his decision is to a disabled person. Get him out of here.

There should be no stars at all for this judge. I hand delivered evidence yet his assistant pulled only what she wanted him to see. She did not pull my financial records for which I had my SSA 1099s and bank statements to back me up. I had a letter of proof for reporting work but it did not use the word work so he would not even allow me to show it to him. There are major discrepancies in my case money wise but he would not allow that either because he was not aware of it. My case is three combined in to one. One took place years ago and I have a letter that proves I did not owe. Yet the monies were taken from me 5 years later without 60 days notice. I requested a waiver after receiving the notice yet the money was taken a few days later even though the letter stated they would take $50 a month out. I requested a waiver which was approved and made no difference. Did the judge know about that? No he did not because his assistant did not pull those papers and like I said he did not know it was three cases rolled into one. A social security worker took it upon himself to write a letter that stated I was being re-evaluated medically, I never reported workers comp. and I never reported my marriage. I have proof for all three which makes him a liar. Did the judge allow that? No he did not because his assistant did not pull those records to put with his files. My husband was no where around when these incidents occurred with exception of our marriage. We went to the social security office three times and they made a copy of our license. The license had an error on it and had to be corrected. We went before our marriage, after our marriage and when the license was corrected. How in the world was I able to get a new social security card and a new Medicare card and use them the next month after our marriage if I had never reported my marriage? Get real. Part of the monies have been paid back either by my agreeing to pay back $100 or $200 a month and by money being withheld without my knowledge or agreement. Those monies have not all been applied to the monies supposedly owed. Did the judge know that? No he did not because his assistant did not pull those records from my files and add to his. My attorneys filed for an appeal and a waiver the same month i received the letter of overpayment on one case. The local office lost those papers. That attorney no longer works social security cases for the Texas legal Hotline for Seniors so therefore he could not take my case back. The other attorney no longer works for Texas Legal Hotline for Seniors. Did the judge know that? No he did not because his assistant did not pull those papers from my files to add to his. Did he go over my files with a fine tooth comb as he stated? NO HE DID NOT. Why? His assistant did not pull those pertinent papers and therefore he did NOT have those pertinent papers to go over with a fine tooth comb. I have 90 days from the date of that hearing to come up with why my husband who was no where around during these incidents save the marriage...why we cannot afford to pay it back. We are both senior citizens and this is all so asinine. If you are working with a Vocational Rehabilitation Service your benefits continue. Then why did mine end?

Curran I could say a lot of cuse words about his decision on my wifes case.This would'nt help at all and I would get upset futher more,but I can say tho.He does not read what is important.If you need all this information to prove your case then why in the heck is it all not read ??? If you did'nt have it then they would say why dont you have it &^%$#@#$%^&* My wife had a great job and pay was forced to leave because of a botched back operation,the doctor Kevin Teal did and he still works on people. Justice there is none.If you get it praise the lord and run with it.

The man is unstable. Behavior totally inappropriate. Denies African-Americans no matter how severe their medical conditions. So sad that after waiting so long, he was uninterested and dismissive. He must be stopped!

Amazing how Curran who is fair, impartial and not given to pressure is rated poorly by losers to whom I have one message - get off your butt and go find a job. The taxpayers owe you nothing. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Judge Curran.

Can anyone help or tell me how I can find out whats going on with my appeal. I had my court date May 10, 2013 and was given a deadline of June 13, 2013 to have additional requested information in, which was done. I have since had surgery and gotten worse. My spouse has called only to be told they wanted more information on new changes in my condition, which has been sent each time. If we didnt call them to check where the appeal stood we wouldnt know they wanted more information. I have been sent no requests, updates or anything. We honestly believe I will not live to ever see benefits.

After waiting 7 months for your judgement, we get it on the same day the doctors tell us that my husbands time is limited. He is on continuous o2 now and is unable to get out of bed even on somedays, leaves the house only for MD appts or hospital. So here the last day of 2013 all I can say is I WILL PRAY FOR YOU. We started this 3 Years ago and God willing we will see it to the end. DISAPPROVED, WE WILL TAKE YOUR ADVISE AND APPEAL WITH A LAWYER.

I felt that it was only right to update everyone after my previous post. My husband Wendell Lynn Wall 45 yrs old, husband, father, grandfather and friend to many passed away after fighting for 3+ years multiple illnesses and system shut downs. He went to be with God on February 8, 2014. He always said he would never live to see his disability approved. Congradulations Judge Curran another win under the belt.

Daniel Curran Unlawfully and willfully (Judicial Temperament)denied me my witness (Friends, family, Doctors and their reports/lab work/evidence/medical records)and asked me if I needed any one subpoenaed and when I said yes, he didn't make any of them show up for testimony. At one point his clerk looked at me and said "You don't need to be subpoenaing anyone, including your mother!" This is all illegal, including coercion by Daniel Curran toward me to try and force me to agree with what he is doing by unlawfully controlling the court room with no due process at all and not allowing me to have a fair trial and Daniel Curran is falsifying documents by filing reports and saying I have no evidence, and bringing in his friends and his own Doctors who have never met me or treated me or even talked to me before about my illness instead of my witness and Doctors to testify on my behalf to my court hearing. This guy needs to be looked at before "We the People" investigate him!

I received a partial judgment from Curran and one can see from his decision he will hunt and peck what ever evidence he wishes to deny a favorable decision to a high income earner. He used my age as the main reason to give me a partial decision and not my disabilities I suffered when I first applied for back almost two years ago that made me unable to work anymore. ****** my lawyer and myself to no end. Whoever else comes into this man's court room come very prepared and make sure you have your RFC filled out and in your records. Have all your "i's" dotted and your "t's" crossed. You'll need to beat this guy at the game. He will listen more to the "vocational expert" than you.

Judge Daniel Curran was fair. If you have the facts and required documentation he will rule in your favor. If you do not then he won't. My husband worked for 30 years at the same job before he became disabled. I believe that was taken into account as well. Its good to know that Judge Curran follows the guidelines and rules fairly based on the evidence that is presented to him. Its up to you to do your homework............................

When we walked in the room he was already mad. He didn't look at any of the information on my case prior to my hearing. He was mad because an exhibit had a page 2 and his assistant Fred knew it was a blank page and didn't note that in my file. He was mad because my file was a paper file not digital. He was mad because my attorney didn't know all the exibit numbers that corresponded to the documents because it wasn't made available until the day of the hearing. He postponed the hearing for a third time. I would not recommend him for a Judge on a dog show. He needs to retire or be evaluated for Biopolor disorder. I'll be 60 in a few months I guess he's waiting until I reach retirement age.

Very very fair if you approach the situation in the right way you’ll get approved but if not you’ll get denied. I went in there with no medical records and no attorney and got approved!!!!! Thanks Judge Curran.

A lot of what people said is true, disappointing, hurtful, he seems not to care!!!! Scary because some people are really hurt and scared. Not knowing whats going to happen NOW...When you have worked all your life and now disabled you need to be treated and looked upon as a person who needs help, not just another file (denied). Didn't even consider experts opinion. Just sad.

This is what you need to be 100% prepared for when your hearing is scheduled with ALJ Daniel Curran. He will push you to the point of breaking, he is a no nonsense Judge. He is not going to have sympathy for your case until you can prove disability beyond any doubt. I will be the first to say I was completely shocked by his initial approach, but as we continued along our 4 year appeal process I began to understand why Mr. Curran used such harsh tactics. He is merely trying to get all the facts out of you about your case in order to prevent fraudulent claims. So if you are attempting to fraudulently obtain SSID , you can trust me when I say YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PULL THE WOOL OVER THIS JUDGE'S EYES...he has seen and heard it all. So my advice would be if your claim is legitimate, DONT GIVE UP!!!!

Judge Falkenstein and his staff were instrumental in helping me through a difficult process, while I was very sick. I will be forever grateful for all their hard work and interest in my well-being during such a trying and pivotal part of my life.

Judge Fulton Deserves TEN Stars!He is THE Judge who redeemed my general fearful weariness of Judges.He shows a Sincere Interest in what YOU,the individual,are Actually experiencing regarding pain,how it and any other conditions/symptoms affect you in your daily life.Judge Fulton treated me like a Person rather than some unimportant "matter" merely taking up his time.My second hearing with Judge Fulton was January 22nd,2016, which was two days After a Judge deciding on an eviction case against me by OCHA,made me feel Utterly worthless & heartbroken over my son's decision to move in & assist with my needs until Im finally able to obtain health insurance and general home assistance;trash,dishes,cleaning,etc. After the grueling eviction court experience, my hearing with Judge Fulton lifted my spirits enough to NOT feel my disabilities have Forever destroyed my son's life. This,again,due to his treating me as a Person-a Person who has had to learn to exist on next to nothing due to Unforeseen & Extremely Unwanted severe physical & mental limitations.My First Initial appeal hearing was,I believe,in 2009.The Judge at that time,to my complete surprise,was quite Cruel in her treatment & statements toward me as well as Highly irritable at ANY information I'd politely try to have heard.I was homeless,living in my minivan with my dog for six months due to the physical injury that First caused my inability to successfully work even the most minimal amount of hours.The Judge at that hearing truly couldn't have been More Disinterested or Irritated. I don't know Judge Fulton's decision regarding my case yet, BUT at least I Now KNOW there ARE Judges who DO treat us as People,relay Human Compassion and empathy regardless of what the final outcome may be!I Sincerely Thank You for that Judge Fulton!

Judge made so many errors both in procedure and application of law that it is unimaginable how she is allowed to remain at her position.

I really hope you are able to sleep at night and I do not know how you can live with youself day by day. I am disabled in a wheelchair and all this woman did was discriminate me due to my weight, stated she would not take into consideration what any doctor or person had to say. Really Tela gatewood! I have been through **** and back and you just made it worse. I have never felt so low in my life or so bad about myself. You Tela Gatewood just put another notch in my depression belt. I hope you feel real good about yourself.

Judge Tela Gatewood is the slowest judge in deciding disability cases . I have waited over 8 months for a decision and I have received no information that my case is progressing . I have a friend who filed a disability claim well after my claim , and has been approved for disability and is receiving checks , all within a month after her hearing ! All the while my health is deteriorating , and eight months later I still have a pending disability decision . Very disappointed in Judge Gatewood !

I had an appeal hearing with her 11 months ago. She promised I would have a judgment within one week. Every time I call the ssi office I'm told she can not be reached or held accountable but that she takes longer than any other judge. I'm told there is nothing that can be done. I can only imagine my case folder has found the trash can or slipped between her desk and the wall, but nothing can be done.

Took over a year with no decision on my case. I had to involve a congressman for help, then within a week she sent the denial letter. Looks like if she gets pushed she will deny. She is clearly unworthy of her position.

Judge Tela Gatewood is not an honorable ALJ ! She is the worst example of being a judge . I had a hearing in 2013 , it took her until April / 2015 to deny my case ! 6 times longer than the average case . Their were a lot of discrepancies in her ruling , it's like she doesn't care about the pain and suffering of the clients . I face severe hardships , my case is almost 7 years old !

Agreeable enough. Not especially well versed in SS regs & rulings. Appears to be of the opinion that in most cases, a "truly" disabled claimant would have already been found disabled at the state agency level (which is laughable to anyone who has any experience in the field). Basically a time-server.

Better than most. Top producing judge from Medicare, same at SSA. Decent to lawyers, claimants; tolerant considerate hearing style.

He is genteel in his mannerisms, but he does not give an indepedent fresh look at a case. He makes up his mind prior to the hearing and the claimant's testimony and additional evidence proving disability is irrelevant. Therefore, he is not open to reversing the government's prior decision. He is essentially a rubber stamp for the government. He gets one star because I can't give him a negative star.

Great judge if you have a good case with actual evidence. Seemed symoathetic and thoughful. Not so much in cases with weak or missing evidence, an unprepared lawyer, or only the claimant's testimony to prove the illness or injury.

Not familiar with rules or regs, has mind made up prior to hearings regardless of evidence and testimony. Basically someone who took a government job for the pension and benefits, has no observable interest job or claimants. Just showing up and putting in his time and case numbers.

Judge J. Dell Gordon had completely read my case prior to the hearing. He demonstrated thoughtful consideration of each separate health condition, and the affects as a whole. Judge Gordon was open to discussion and input from all parties. He is a five star judge because he is fair and just.

Had my hearing on Sept 3rd, 2015 with Judge Gordon. He seemed to be ver fair and impartial. My lawyer said that it sounded very good but it has now been 60 days today with no answer. Hopefully I will hear soon. Either way approval or denial he was still a very good judge that was considerate!

I had a 2nd hearing on February 9th, 2016 with Judge Dell Gordon. I thought he was very thorough and he listened to what I had to say. I was brought in a 2nd time with a vocational expert. Not sure what this means, however, he couldn't find any jobs for me. So, now I await a decision. This process seems like it is trying to pull teeth! I have waited so long. I'm hoping to get a decision soon.

At my hearing the judge started asking me question in regards to someone else's case. He was unfamiliar with my case at all and seemed to be lost and therefore seemed to have his mind made up without the proper evidence ?? Your thoughts??

My husband just went to court with Judge Gutierrez. I am very unhappy with the outcome. Mr. Gutierrez (Judge) denied my husband on a questionnaire that we filled out 4 years ago. We were honest on the questionnaire as of today my husband cannot do what he did back then. Letters from all his Doctors say that. If we didn't deserve back pay that is fine but my husband should have never been denied completely. We are so close to loosing our home we can't even put a full meal on the table for dinner. I work 2 jobs just to try to make it. My husband can't work. I am so upset with this outcome, I can't believe this happened.

So I had this judge, not 1 time, but he made me appear, 4 times in less than 1 year!!! I'm writing because I'm very ANGERED at this man, at lying to me. II feel like I was treated as though I was making my injuries up. I'm not proud, or happy, that I don't have the life that I used to have. 15 car wrecks have decided to change the fate of my body and with that in mind, my lifestyle, which used to consist of a full time, management job, now is non-existent. I can't stand for a lengthy time or I hurt too bad and if I sit for very long I hurt too bad. I can't lift hardly any weight, or carry any thing too heavy. I'm just screwed. I have numerous herniated disks in my back, fluid buildup on my spinal cord, causing heavy pressure. All of my nerves in my back ar shot and my dr. Has been pushing for the spinal cord stimulator since 2016. I'm finally going to be getting it in the next month or so. I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I also have a broken foot. And the pain medication that I was on, when I went to trial, was unbelievably strong, beyond functioning and that alone would have been enough not to let me get a job, if I were able to work. How dare you tell me that I was approved on my 2nd and 3rd time, of going to court, and then make me return a 4th time, to DENY ME!!! You are a cold hearted, lying judge!! And also, I requested my minutes, from all of my hearing's and I still have yet, for them to arrive!!!

My 20 year old granddaughter had ALJ David Gutierrez for her disability case by tv satellite from Anderson SC. She has autism her whole life. She was denied due to the judge’s lack of insight and understanding of her disability. He was giving only 10 minutes per case. I was not allowed to go with her, I am her historian and know a lot about her I could have explained. Alexis, my granddaughter is 20, however, her maturity is not as high as a 10 year old. She is very intelligent. Her autism holds her back from being able to be social, work, drive, cook or even have a job interview. She graduated from high school with a shadow with her at all times. Her senior year she asked to go solo without a shadow, as she felt it was a friend deterrent. She only had 2 classes left that year so she did manage to get to her classes on time. However, she would stay after school lots of days for 2-4 hours to get help from a special education teacher. She insisted on going on to college because she said, “I want to be somebody “. Unfortunately, she failed all her classes due to her severe social anxiety and adhd. She was taking focalin to help her focus and complete her work, which in fact was a double emerged sword. The focalin exasperated her anxiety and would cause her heart rate to get dangerously high. She tried her best, she went on days she didn’t have classes to get help from a tutor for as long as they would let her. Unfortunately, she dropped out after her 1st semester. She was so proud to be a student in the local technical college, she had to try and find out the hard way that she couldn’t handle it. My husband and I have had court ordered custody of her since she was 11. Alexis was on SSI from the time she was a baby until she was 6 years old. Her father died and SSI changed to survivor benefits until she was 18 years old. Since she graduated she hasn’t had any financial assistance except from my husband and me. We are getting older and not in great health and we worry about what will happen to Alexis after we are gone. She has no knowledge of life skills. She has no concept of time or her surroundings. She has no concept of money, shopping, paying bills. She has to be prompted to bathe, brush her teeth, meals, even picking out appropriate clothes to wear. I guess my mistake was putting her in mainstream classes because she was so brilliant, when she should have been in special education classes learning daily living skills. There were misconceptions by the ALJ in her documents from her doctor she has been seeing since she was 12. She saw a developmental pediatrician from infancy until grade school. Her mom had drug addiction that kept her from taking her for her appointments so they dropped her as a patient. She saw another one in the practice that I wasn’t real impressed with until 12 years old. Dr. McElwee has been her doctor for 8 years and spends enough time with her to know what she is capable of. He is positively sure that Alexis can never live independently or even get hired at a job due to her anxiety, very short attention span, lack of focus and not being mature enough to have gainful employment. Yet, a person who takes only a few minutes to look over her paperwork and see her has a difference in opinion. And that’s it! Done! This is so unfair to say the least.

She is very intelligent. Her autism holds her back from being able to be social, work, drive, cook or even have a job interview. She graduated from high school with a shadow with her at all times. Her senior year she asked to go solo without a shadow, as she felt it was a friend deterrent. She only had 2 classes left that year so she did manage to get to her classes on time. However, she would stay after school lots of days for 2-4 hours to get help from a special education teacher. She insisted on going on to college because she said, “I want to be somebody “. Unfortunately, she failed all her classes due to her severe social anxiety and adhd. She was taking focalin to help her focus and complete her work, which in fact was a double emerged sword. The focalin exasperated her anxiety and would cause her heart rate to get dangerously high. She tried her best, she went on days she didn’t have classes to get help from a tutor for as long as they would let her. Unfortunately, she dropped out after her 1st semester. She was so proud to be a student in the local technical college, she had to try and find out the hard way that she couldn’t handle it. My husband and I have had court ordered custody of her since she was 11. Alexis was on SSI from the time she was a baby until she was 6 years old. Her father died and SSI changed to survivor benefits until she was 18 years old. Since she graduated she hasn’t had any financial assistance except from my husband and me. We are getting older and not in great health and we worry about what will happen to Alexis after we are gone. She has no knowledge of life skills. She has no concept of time or her surroundings. She has no concept of money, shopping, paying bills. She has to be prompted to bathe, brush her teeth, meals, even picking out appropriate clothes to wear. I guess my mistake was putting her in mainstream classes because she was so brilliant, when she should have been in special education classes learning daily living skills. There were misconceptions by the ALJ in her documents from her doctor she has been seeing since she was 12. She saw a developmental pediatrician from infancy until grade school. Her mom had drug addiction that kept her from taking her for her appointments so they dropped her as a patient. She saw another one in the practice that I wasn’t real impressed with until 12 years old. Dr. McElwee has been her doctor for 8 years and spends enough time with her to know what she is capable of. He is positively sure that Alexis can never live independently or even get hired at a job due to her anxiety, very short attention span, lack of focus and not being mature enough to have gainful employment. Yet, a person who takes only a few minutes to look over her paperwork and see her has a difference in opinion. And that’s it! Done! This is so unfair to say the least.
Mr. Gutierrez is a crook and a first class LIAR! He denied my case and the appeal, despite having over 20 active medical issues, many of which are severe and/or potentially fatal. He copied and pasted numerous sentences from various parts of my medical; and, when he made reference to my records in the denial letter, he distorted the fact of the matter. So really, the multiple times that he perjured himself in manner, he threw the standard Straw Man garbage into a poorly concocted report which made no sense at all. A grade schooler could have done better, as even GUTierrez's grammar was abysmally poor. I have been told this guy is extremely racist against White males, makes his decision before the hearing even starts. Though having access to your medical records, he does not read them. This rogue judge needs to be removed from his position.

I initially filed in April of 2013, my hearing date was Nov. 2014. I was extremely fearful walking into the court room. When I saw Judge Hamilton, I felt a sense of calm. She didn't look stern like I anticipated. She was up to date on my condition, she had to if read my file in detail to know the facts she knew. She allowed me to speak without feeling rushed. I got very emotional several times during the hearing and she was patient and asked if I needed a break. Judge Hamilton asked several questions regarding my diagnoses. Here's my thoughts on the disability system...if you meet the qualifications and the documention is there from the proper people then the judge has no reason to deny. The denials are because something was lacking in either the qualifications or the documention. The negative comments left will be only from people who get denials. The positive ones will be from the people who get approvals...my opinion has never wavered...no matter what the outcome is, Judge Hamilton was kind, respectful and didn't make me feel less than or scared. Thank you Judge Hamilton.

Whoever wrote the comment of 3-8-15 has obviously not presented very many claims to this ALJ, nor have they reviewed her record. While there is no doubt but that ALJ Hamilton is a very nice and kind lady, there is also little doubt but that she is either completely incompetent or just does not care. This is evidenced by the claims that she approves versus those she will deny. I have numerous examples of claims that ALJ Hamilton has denied where the evidence in the claim is much more substantial than in a claim she had approved. There appears to be little reasoning to her decisions and a complete lack of understanding of the law. To state that denials from this ALJ are because of some lacking "qualifications" or "documentation" is just being naive. Unless of course the "qualifications" referred to are the qualifications of this ALJ.

After almost 5 years of trying for disability Judge Hamilton approved my case right on the spot. Of course having a good attorney was helpful. The Judges and attorneys don't make it up as they go along. If you don't have a valid medical condition and medical records you won't be successful. So don't hate the judge. The hatred does you no good.

Judge Hamilton is a bias judge! She appears to be clueless! She didn't seem to be even listening during most of my hearing. She help papers in front of her face while she was speaking, she asked many questions over and over. Asked questions that had nothing to do with my disabilities (such as why my brother that lives with me wasn't working, what my boy friend does, my children etc) I've been unable to work since 09, have many medical problems, years of medical documentations, dr stating I'm unable to work, yet she found I was able to work part time, doing sedentary work, which she found 77,000 jobs in that area in the NATION! Wow! I'm 51yrs old, with severe back issues, 2 surgeries, and many other medical problems and there is no employer that will hire! I've paid in for 30yrs and unfortunately NOT able to get work nor will anyone hire me! I would give her 0 rating even if she had approved my case! She was rude to me and my attorney and I left the court room feeling totally defeated and depressed! I'd love to know under what conditions she approves cases, because I know of people approved by other judges with less medical conditions than I have.

A good friend of mine who is suffering from PTSD saw Judge Hamilton this past June 2017. He felt that she was nice, seamed to be concerned and he left feeling like all was good. Well 5 months have now passed by and nothing, all he gets when he calls is someone saying the Judge has yet to sign off one way or another on his case. Leaving someone with mental issues in limbo this long is not good at all. I cant believe that she is that busy that she couldn't of signed off one way or another in five months. My friend has no income, so far he has help from others, but that is coming to an end. He is facing the strong possibility of losing everything he has and not being able to afford his medication because some judge feels its ok to take their time deciding someone else's fate..even if she would deny it ( which there is NO REASON to ) he could get on with an appeal, but instead she is leaving him in limbo...NOT GOOD zero stars for Judge Hamilton

Its now been 7 months since a friend of mine with PTSD and severe depression has seen this Judge and still NO ANSWER. My friend is slowly losing their self due to lack of income and finances to pay their bills. And with OK dropping funding for mental health it is getting harder and harder to get them the treatment and meds they need. Judge Hamilton please don't try and blame your lack of speediness on so many cases are do to overload, because down in south Texas where the population is three to six times as here in Oklahoma they are getting people their rulings within 6-8 weeks. If you judge Hamilton are unable to do your job in a timely manner then you need to step down and let SS replace you with someone who can. Or is the problem that you just enjoy playing mind games with people who have mental health issues? Either way, not impressed with you at all as a judge..

Excellent ALJ for a change. ALJ Harris actually reviews the entire file prior to a hearing in most if not all instances. He is concerned for the "system" and will not just rubber stamp someone, but he also will not deny a claim for some lame reason. If you are prepared and have a truthful client then you will win the case. If you lose a case with this ALJ, then 9 times out of 10 you should lose.

My hearing lasted almost an hour and a half in front of this judge. My attorney presented medical evidence from my medical records proving I was diagnosed with PTSD and Bipolar disorder. The vocational expert testified that I could get a job but not maintain it. After waiting 2 months he is requested a supplemental hearing and is now ordering that a medical expert be present and another vocation expert! It's already proven that I am disabled according to SSA guidelines yet he is still requesting another hearing when nothing has changed.

I have Heart Diesase, PTSD, Sever Depression along with sever anxiety. My bp and heart rate stays high. He was the most rudest Judge. He kept rolling his eyes evey time I spoke or my attorney spoke. I will be turning him in.

I CAN NOT WORK. HAVE BEEN HOMELESS ( COUCH HOPING FOR 5 YEARS) NO INCOME, AND LOSING FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY. I HAVE BEEN FALSELY ACCUSED OF CRIMES BY MY ABUSERS SO I WOULDN'T BE ALE TO SEE MY CHILDREN, AND DESPERATELY TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE. I HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER ANYWHERE I COULD, IN THE MOST DESPERATE TIMES, AND IT TURNED OUT HORRIBLY. THE JUDGE, JUDGED ME WRONG, AND FALSELY ACCUSED ME OF DOING DRUGS WHEN I HAD NOT. I'M NOT THE TYPICAL HOMELESS. I DON'T DO DRUGS. I'M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC. I'M COLLEGE EDUCATED. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I FELL VICTIM TO ABUSE, AND CAN NOT RECOVER. HE IS MAKING IT WORSE FOR ME!!

I'M NOT THE TYPICAL HOMELESS. I DON'T DO DRUGS. I'M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC. I'M COLLEGE EDUCATED. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I FELL VICTIM TO ABUSE, AND CAN NOT RECOVER. HE IS MAKING IT WORSE FOR ME!!
Judge Hertzig is a hateful man who loves to show claimants that he's in charge. He accuses that he hasn't received things but then after arguing with you about it, he seems to find that things he said were not there, in your file. He laughs while you are answering a question and for someone that knows NOTHING about your condition, he shouldn't be able to look at you and say no. He should follow the guidelines and the laws, exactly why he is being sued, for not doing that

I thought this judge was very respectful as well - but over a year later my son who has a severe disability - got an unfavorable ruling from a judge who had never seen him because Judge Keltch has been out for a long period of time and no one said a word. These are people's lives. Can't wait for Obamacare!

ALJ is pleasant; tends to bounce back and forth between experts and claimant in unusual fashion; I didn't have the sense that he was all that familiar with the file. Definitely focuses on clinical medical evidence to support RFC opinion.

She is a very compassionate and caring Judge. She do know if your are disable or not. The thing I liked most about her was that she took the time to listen to what I was saying composed to the questions she asked me. I would recommend her to review a case for me at any given time.

She was very rude and showed no compassion. She had the wrong information on my file. She brought up a doctor's appointment that I did not go to, had no appointment with and according to her I went for the doctor to write me a note to obtain a floor apartment and not be forced to live on the second or third floor of an apartment building(problem with HER information, we live in a house that is paid for) the appointment was never set up and I wouldn't't have set it because we own our own house and make no payments. All of these judges need to be put out to pasture. They do not have a clue about the people and the information that pertains to that person. Out of touch with reality and human beings.The statement up above states that the judge may view your post. I hope she does, after the screwed up way she handled the hearing somebody needs to tell her she is INCOMPETENT.

There is something wrong with this Judge. She keeps moving around from city to city. She asked my lawyer specific questions about humdreds of pages of medical records, like he was supposed to have the file memorized. She desired to act as if she was very important.

I suffer from multiple sclerosis and haven't been able to work since 2012 and this so called judge denied my case. I'm disgusted. Bet if I was a drug addict or alcoholic I would of been approved.

This was the first hearing I had ever participated in. I was asked very few medical questions, I was asked 0 follow up questions. I thought it strange but who is there to ask? When I recieved the decision it became apparent why I was asked so few questions. Judge Laroche never bothered to review my medical history. He didn't review before my hearing, he didn't review before his decision. He had decided my case before I ever stepped in the room. There are several issues he stated are not in evidence which is absolutely incorrect. I would think someone who chooses a position like he has would at the very least do his due diligence. I can see very clearly he did not. He can sit in comfort knowing he is only destroying poor people who have no recourse. Judge LaRoche, I hope for your sake when you meet your maker you are prepared to answer for the people and families you have destroyed. It is one thing to sit in judgement when you have reviewed all relevent facts. It is different when you sit in judgement and can't be bothered to care.

Totally 100% worst judge I've ever had the dis pleasure of meeting!! Doesn't go by DOCUMENTED MEDICAL RECORDS & FACTS!! I had his decision over turned by appeals committee and remanded back to court - because he was clearly wrong in his decision, but somehow he managed to get my case again - which I was told by a few attorneys should NOT have happened!! Once again - IGNORED the MEDICAL FACTS in front of his face and denied me again!! Have to file with appeals committee AGAIN. I DID NOT ASK FOR MY MEDICAL CONDITIONS!!! I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE BACK AT WORK MAKING MUCH MORE $$$$ THAN I'LL RECEIVE FROM DISABILITY......I HOPE YOU ENJOY SITTING ON YOUR THRONE DESTROYING PEOPLES LIVES.......I'M NOT STOPPING..........

There is a 5 step process .....1 have you worked in the last 12 months. 2 Do you have impairments that will keep you from working.? 3 are these impairments listed under the SS listings?...... 4 CAN YOU DO THE JOB YOU DID THE LAST 15 YEARS. 5 What other JOBS can you do ? (this is when the VE will say what kida jobs you should be able to do) ....If you can get through those hoops. You have a chance . Medical documentation is 80% of your case. !0% testimony 5%for meds...%5 treatment. ? Also a good RFC is very helpful from your own doctor stating how long you can sit, stand, walk in an 8 hour day. (Note Physical impairments for which is a formula they use to determine over 50 years old , these people gets you to the "grids" or vocational allowance )Mental impairments cant use the "grids". Good news for some of you. VA Veterans get a "fast track" through the system...I know a guy who had a hearing on March 2 , 2015 and on March 28th he showed me his letter of decision stating fully favorable. A 26 day wait//// Don't know how long you have been waiting but if youre a veteran the wait is not as long. He filed back in nov 2013,,,getting money next month. was already 100% from the VA when he went to court .Hope that helps some vets who are deciding. Non military apps may wait 2o plus months from initial filing until hearing.

i think Judge Levine is very compassionate an understanding to a claimant. She takes all information thoroughly and will consider all evidence materials and research for more if needed to make sure she make a positive decision. I left her courtroom feeling like i having finally been heard after being denied numerous times since i begin filing in the 90's. She never gave me an answer but I left feeling better like I have finally been heard. Everyone deserves a chance to be heard and Judge Levine heard me.

I want to thank Judge Liken for making me feel at ease. He is a very good Judge. He is a very good listener. It was very informal and he even asked me if there was anything further that I would like him to know at the end of the hearing. I was pleased regardless of the outcome.

I had my hearing November 15th 2017 and I'm still awaiting a decision from the judges office. My lawyers don't know anything other than it is still in the judges hands. I was told is have a decision within 90 days and as you can see, I'm still waiting. He was a great listener and i didn't feel intimidated at all. My issue is that the "process" takes entirely too long and some of us are in desperate need for a decision so that we know where to go from here...how do i get my surgeries..how do i get the injections i need...how do i keep paying my bills...what am i going to do about rent..All of this in some cases is contingent on a speedy decision. Thanks for listening.

Melissa, why did you post your review of Judge Liken here and on the OKC page? He's clearly not in OKC. His approval rates are too high for an OKC judge.

If you have already been victim of Judge JAMES LINEHAN report him to: Division of Quality Service One Skyline Tower 5107 Leesburg Pike, Suite 1605 Falls Church, VA 22041 Include as many details as possible in your letter to aid DQS in its investigation. Note that filing a complaint with DQS does not constitute an appeal of your denial or partially favorable decision.

My experience with this Judge was horrible. He rushes through the hearing, will not let you finish answering a question when you are obviously confused with what he is asking. He will cherry pick anything in your records that he can twist around. And frankly, reading his decision was unbelievable. In several cases this Judge just outright lies. If he doesn't just blatantly lie in his decision rationale he lies like the Devil by omitting overwhelming records contrary. SHAME on this Judge. He should be removed. Yes I am appealing. Meet with new attorney today! In my opinion this Judge makes his decision before you ever go before him. He does not show any interest in fact gathering that does not meet the opinion he already has made. In my decision he took 1 doctors observation that I saw one time (not even for condition I applied for disability and not a specialist) while ignoring 5+ others (specialists) that saw me regularly and all reported the same thing. Nevermind, that the Doctor opinion he cited negatively in my favor is who gave the referral for me to see specialist. Oh the list goes on and on. Oh, and he thinks that when your medication is changed because you stopped taking it because it didn't work or had side effects that you can not handle that you are non-compliant in taking medication.

I agree with a previous post regarding not accepting a Video Hearing from ALJ Linehan. You must have a good attorney to deal with this Judge. I have been told by two different attorney's already that in their experience his decisions are way off base if you either do not have a lawyer as a representative. If you go in with a non-attorney representative (or worse no representative) he knows that you will have difficulty obtaining representation to effectively appeal as a non-attorney representative WILL drop your case following an ALJ Hearing. It would be a good idea also to have your United States Congressman's office inquire about your claim. He does appear to be particularly biased against Mental Health claims. Two different attorney's that have dealt with him have told me this.

This judge laughed about SSA Paperwork being lost! Years ago when he was a lawyer representing claimants he stated online in a blog (I have a printout) that SSA commonly loses paperwork! Today, after over a year I finally get a copy of the audio recording of the hearing. The main ODAR office has been blocking me getting it! Very obvious of why after listening to it. This judge demonstrated a nasty habit of interrupting me while I was trying to answer a question by asking another question. Unbelievable! Thank goodness I have an attorney now. By the way, the medical and healthcare professionals that regularly see me prior to the hearing and to this day were appalled at his decision and flat out said that his reasoning did not make any sense to them - one even pulls up records they sent and it was obvious they were completely ignored! Going in with anything less than an attorney with this ALJ will likely result in a swift denial. I went in with a representative, but as they had already found and attorney's I have spoken to and since retained one, have all said that to them it appears that "this Judge gets messy; even though he knows better; when the claimant is not represented or represented by a non-attorney representative". They seem to believe he does this because he knows that a non-attorney representative will drop out at this point and it is very hard to get an attorney to come in at the Appeals Council stage. So, you have been warned!

This just stuns me! I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Linehan many years ago over my then husbands Federal Workers Comp claim and I couldn't believe how great he was. Fast, knowledgeable, friendly. So I have to go with my experiences with him as a FWC attorney.

Dear Mr.James LineHan I really pray for my disability case goes into your hands...I pray because I'm homeless with my two boys and no one in housing nor State assistance wants to help us .. I'm needing my disability to support my children and be able to continue inspiring my son to become a physician ..he is doing good so far in Medical education in high school.

Yes, this judge does cherry pick evidence . He does turn testimony around to fit his pre formed opinion. He will interrupt you during your testimony , to throw you off track. It seems as though he has already made a decision on your case , before your hearing. If this guy is your judge , I pray for you. Good luck getting the benefits you've paid for all of your working life.

Judge Matthews was the most kind,relaxed,professional judge I have ever seem or been before.Her demeanor was very comforting,despite the stressful SSI process.I have not been notified of her decision,as my case is minor in comparison to most.I trust her decision will be sincere--as she seemed!THANK YOU Judge...Bruce Novelli

Judge Mathews has gone out of her way, in fact out of this great state of remarkable medical expertise, to find and use, at least one physician "expert" in her court without pertinent credentials. In doing so she allows such an "expert" to commit atrocities against Texans. At minimum she has found an uneducated, or man of unscrupulous ethics, willing to testify nonsense in her court, in return for paid recompense. Why does Judge Kelly Mathews need to seek out a physician from Oklahoma to testify on neurological, psychiatric, physiological, and genetic conditions all out of his fields of practice? Even the Oklahoma State Board of Medicine is stumped, and suggested I file with them a complaint with them against the physician for possible fraud, possibly even criminal charges due to his testimony being so outlandishly out of sync with fact that it may constitute purjory. Shame on Judge Kelly Mathews. Texas needs fair judges.

I can testify now: If Senator Cruz had life-threatening histamine issues which are NOT ORDINARY ALLERGIES and his doctor from the past had died so that he had self-medicated from lack of SSDI due to having faith to soldier on with Slaying Swords but not disposable income for health care NOT DUE TO NOT REPEALING OBAMACARE BUT TO NEVER APPLYING WITH REASONABLE INCOME LIMITS BUT NOT ASSET ALLOWANCES, FOR MEDIC ASSIST TO INSURE THE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, OF CHILDREN, INDIGENT PEOPLE, DISABLED PEOPLE WHO WERE MINIMALLY EMPLOYABLE WITH SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS OR UN-EMPLOYABLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH SCARS, OR MILITARY VETERANS OF THE ARMED FORCES HONORABLY DISCHARGED BETWEEN 1914 AND 2018; and not in possession of records of emergency treatment where his condition was ********** to well-trained doctors about a disease which has not been taken seriously by the American Medical Association; and then Ted's disability was discredited by a person with legal ability but no fair competence about medical ability judging from hearsay of a subjective general medical person not any required living specialist summoned by the claimant or the SSA State Office of Disability Determination on request of the claimant subsequent to ODD denial pursuant to reconsderation apoeal—then we could be rid of Mr. Cruz having to be Senator Cruz, if he had not already one last of seeming myriad shocking, unfortunate events. HOWEVER, we would not get to be shocked for or without the claimant about his bicameral colleagues' appallment at Paul Ryan's proposal to destroy Medicare vecause we would have expected Senator Cruz's friends Orrin and little MARCO first to have destroyed the SSA, thr ODD, and any kind of ODAR

SSA ODAR seems to exemplify the unconstitutional abridgement of a disabled person to peaceable assembly because they believe in being mentally or physically inhibited from normal accessibility to public places, or feel VERY DISTURBED TO PASS ALL UNDERSTANDING where the way to go is here and not UP TARE out of the light and shadows—and THEY YET MAY LIVE, pitifully...

The worst ALJ I have have ever been in front of. She is rude to everyone involved. VE's refuse to be around her. Court reporters file complaints. Claimants are very beat up by her.

Well all the other comments are actually nice! She is without a doubt certifiable. I wish she would just contact me and let me file disability on her behalf as she would be approved. I always make a habit to point out her "eye rolls" or desk pounding while we are on the record. I can't figure out how she passed a background check.

I waited three years to see her. I wish I would have looked her up before! Do not even go in front of her without a lawer! She has no idea what manual labor is like. She has no business being a disability judge. I think she should have to clean toilets until she is too old to do it and then get thrown out on the sidewalk with all the homeless she created! Instead of living in a mansion and having people clean her toilet and mow her yard! I have lost all faith in state and federal government in oklahoma.

She was asking questions irrelevant to my case. Made me tear up in regards to why I visited a near by town where a loved one was buried. She is very rude. I think visual taping she be taped because eating and drinking is not appropriate during a hearing. All around not a good representative of a Judge in my eyes.

All the above are true. I have had two hearings with this ALJ and she seems to hate her job and everyone who walks in the room. She is rude to claimants and reps. She will start a hearing an hour late (taking 2 hours on prior case) and then tell you you have 45 minutes and if you need more there will be a supplemental hearing. She asks a standard set of background questions that are often redundant and time consuming involving thorough questioning on criminal history, drug/alcohol history and things like "How many times have you traveled more than 25 miles from your home in the last 3 years?" She does not appear the least bit objective or unbiased.

I know this judge; I worked with her in an appeals office (not Okla.). All the adjectives used to describe her in the comments so far are ones I've heard used about this judge and I probably used some in the day-to-day frustration of attempting to do the work of the office with this woman. As one post mentioned, I too don't understand how she passed muster to become an ALJ. The day she left our office was a day of rejoicing. Each and every one of you with personal experience in a hearing with her should write a description of the judge's behavior and words as quickly as possible after the hearing and send it to: 1. HOCALJ of her office, and, 2. Regional Chief Judge, and, 3. Office of General Counsel, and, 4. U.S. Social Security Commissioner. There likely are others to whom these letters should be sent; do some research. Yes, I understand that you may be fearful of retaliation. If so, send the letter anonymously and state that you fear retaliation. If enough pressure is put, someone somewhere will at least ask a few questions about this judge. Good luck.

Each and every one of you with personal experience in a hearing with her should write a description of the judge's behavior and words as quickly as possible after the hearing and send it to: 1. HOCALJ of her office, and, 2. Regional Chief Judge, and, 3. Office of General Counsel, and, 4. U.S. Social Security Commissioner. There likely are others to whom these letters should be sent; do some research. Yes, I understand that you may be fearful of retaliation. If so, send the letter anonymously and state that you fear retaliation. If enough pressure is put, someone somewhere will at least ask a few questions about this judge. Good luck.

I will be going before Judge McLean in August for my ssdi hearing. I have been waiting on a date since June 12, 2012 and I have to wait until 2014. I hope this Judge is not discriminating against me because of my age, but after hearing your comments I believe she is. I am one of the rare ones that truly is disabled and I hate all of the people that don't really need it because it gets taken out on people like me. I just found out from my attorney how much longer I have to wait, we thought I would get it soon. When I found out I wanted end my life, but then I read these comments and realized she would like nothing more, and I will not give her the satisfaction. I also thought, I was a Paramedic for many years and I was nasty mean like her after awhile because I always had to deal with trash. Its actually called burned out. So maybe everyone should be a public servant for awhile and then you would understand. However, I will probably be arrested in court because I will not put up being treated like crap, my mouth will get the best of me, maybe she needs to be put in her place guess i will bring some duct tape! You all do have me scared. But she has me severely depressed. I don't think I can go much longer without my money. I think she is making me this way because that's how she feels about herself. What comes around goes around.

This judge has a long history of being an opponent to claimants. She worked (not much though) as a respondent attorney in the workers' comp court, defending insurance companies. None of the lawyers at that court could stand her. It is a joke that she is now a Social Security judge. She is a class act idiot. She intentionally lowers her voice so that she cannot be heard, but then she jumps YOUR a** if she can't hear YOU. Her clerks inform us that her voice "miraculously gets louder" as soon as the hearing is over and everyone else has left the room. She has one goal: to demean anyone in the room. That includes the lawyer, the claimant, the clerk, and the vocational expert. She throws her hands up in the air constantly throughout the hearing and acts like she doesn't have a clue what you're talking about. She really does NOT understand the law. She asks hypothetical questions to the vocational expert that are not designed to discover the "truth," but are intentionally phrased trap and confine the expert to an answer that will be detrimental to the claimant's case. If something happens during the hearing that is not "straight down the black & white path" that only SHE needs (other judges do not!), then she begins to hyperventilate, screech, wine, with flailing hands in the air, and the insults begin. All the while, she is looking at the clock and making you feel that YOU have a problem. This is definitely not what the legislature intended for a poor unemployed disabled claimant. I wish every person would complain to their congressman about her barbaric handling of people in hearings and how she makes a claimant WAIT for a hearing. Other judges up there cannot stand her. She is a burden on the entire ODAR office. She schedules LESS hearings than any other judge. She is incompetent and truly a joke. Even the security guards talk about her behind her back -- as do all the clerks in that office. How the world she was picked for a judgeship will remain a mystery to me until the day I die.

Hmm, If she has treated claimant's and their Attorney's in the manner people have described here, Why hasn't anyone ever filed a complaint against her. After all you have that right. I would think that after a few complaints filed against this ALJ, she would have been removed from her position! I will reserve my opinion here, As I also am waiting for a hearing date with this ALJ. I have informed my Attorney of this Website, and the comments directed at this particular ALJ. We will be prepared!

Well "maybenextonthelist", I hope you had a different experience and outcome with ALJ McLean ......By the way, there have been numerous complaints filed against this judge, but nothing happens as these ALJ's are in a Union and they are appointed for life......I hope you win, but dont hold your breath

I had my hearing in August. I have 2 say I was scared from all I heard, but rather I get approved or not I think she was so nice and nothing like I heard.

The last time we had a claimant that had a hearing before Judge McLean we waited...get this...19 months for her decision to be written! That's right. Unbelievable. And the poor soul was denied to boot. I personally wish her no ill will, but she needs to step down from her position. Her insensitivity toward others and her gross lack of competency fails to meet the qualifications of an administrative law judge. 19 months?! That should be illegal. Really.

To all of the Attorney's that have had to go before this judge. Why are YOU not filing complaint's against this woman. 19 months may not be illegal, but it surely shows incompetency!

FYI: many attorneys in our area HAVE filed complaints against Judge McLean. The complaints fall on deaf ears. Nobody, from the regional office to the local chief ALJ, can do anything about her issues. A lot of us found out the hard way that our complaints are a waste of time. However, you SHOULD appear at your hearing -- do not lose your "day in court" just because your representative doesn't wish to appear before her. As long as your medical records support your complaints, you should be ok. We do win cases with her, but it's few and far between. She only approves when the claimant is SERIOUSLY injured or ill. So you take your chances at getting her if your condition is "middle of the road." Just tell her how you are unable to work on a FT basis. What keeps you from showing up to work, what causes your pain, how often do you have symptoms of depression, etc. That's all you can do. GET GOOD STATEMENTS from your treating doctor. She can't beat you on appeal if you have good statements from a good doctor. You can always withdraw your claim and start over, but you need to make sure you are still insured if you do this because if you file a new claim, you may not be insured anymore. You should look at her face and tell her the truth and just answer her mundane questions (what movements have you made in the last 2-3 years in any direction). So if she asks you how often you drive, don't say something like "not often." Say something like "2 times a week." She will then move on. Answer the question and hopefully she will move on. You can also get an audio of the hearing a few days after the hearing.

It is not appropriate for an attorney or other representative to post these types of statements on this site, or any other. I know of no other site which would allow such statements to be posted about a State or Federal District Court Judge with complete impunity. So why are they allowed for Federal ALJ's here? They are slanderous and should be removed. If I were this ALJ, I would sue the site and find out who is posting these things. I suspect I already know, and then sue them as well. You may not like a particular ALJ, you may not agree with his or her opinion or decision, but to come here and make wild accusations and assertions based upon your own personal bias is unethical and promotes forum/alj shopping.

As a practitioner, I have seen decisions from Judges all over the country. I do not believe this judge understands the law or the disability process. If you get this judge and your case is not an obvious one, prepare your client for an appeal. As to the commenter below complaining about what is posted here, I can only assume (hope) that you are not in the legal field. There is no liability for defamation when the statement is an opinion, or when it is true. An ALJ is a public servant. If she cannot do her job adequately then public comment is entirely appropriate.

I can assure you that I am a member of the Legal Community Mr. Mitzner. And, you have tried cases with me in the past. I can also assure you that I understand the difference between slander, opinion and truth. Your statements on this site contain a little bit of all three. Whether or not they are actionable is not the question, the question is slandering and promoting forum/alj shopping to fit an agenda.

I might also add that both Article 3 Judges and State District Court Judges are also public servants. The fact that Social Security ALJ's are public servants, just like every other judge and state or federal worker, does not extend free license to attack them.

All I can say is that I have had hearings with this ALJ since the day she came to the OKC ODAR. She has at times acted very odd during hearings (pounding the table, rolling her eyes, sighing very loudly, turning down all the lights in the room and running large fans to kill "the germs")......she has also at other times been acting in a perfectly normal way. However, regardless of how she acts, I still believe that it is improbable that any ALJ would be approving only 25-27% of the claims that come before her. If her opinions were "correct" then I highly doubt that she would be seeing the vast majority of her denials being reversed by the AC or the Fed Courts. And, by the way, she is part of a Union and has a life-time appointment. Anyone that has done any research will discover that it is extremely difficult to remove an ALJ. And yes, I too have filed complaints against this ALJ.

Let me tell you about my experience with this ALJ during my hearing. I found her demeanor towards me to be pleasant and not at all what others have stated. She only got annoyed with my attorney once. She herself knocked down all of the possible jobs the VE stated I could still do. My attorney nor I had to ask any questions of the VE. Her questioning for the most part was directed towards my attorney. When she asked me a question, it was direct and to the point. Which made it easy for me to answer with a direct and to the point answer. I left that hearing felling that I have a very good chance of a fully favorable decision. So, to all of you still waiting for a hearing with Judge Mclean, treat her with the respect her position deserves and you should have a good chance at your own hearing.

I am one that has had "my day in court." My attorney and I both are expecting a fully favorable decision from this ALJ. We feel that the medical evidence speaks for itself. I do believe this judge acted in a totally professional manner during my hearing. Most of her questions pertained to my medical conditions. However, when it came to her hypothetical questions to the VE, she based them on a Sedentary/Light RFC. There is no such thing as a sedentary/light RFC. It must be based on the categories set fourth in the ssa act. "Sedentary, Light, Heavy and Very Heavy."

However, when it came to her hypothetical questions to the VE, she based them on a Sedentary/Light RFC. There is no such thing as a sedentary/light RFC. It must be based on the categories set fourth in the ssa act. "Sedentary, Light, Heavy and Very Heavy."
I had a hearing before this alj. As I see it, she acted in a totally professional manner. Her questioning was direct, quick and mostly about my symptoms and impairments. All the medical evidence was right there for her to see. Her decision on my claim was Fully Favorable.

There are only 2 people who have left 5 stars for this ALJ and both comments condemn the other people commenting and this website. Is it you ALJ McLean? Who is T? Why hide behind a letter? Why can you not say who you are? Why can you/her not get one single person to give you any stars? This is Miles L. Mitzner and I have never posted on this site until now in contrast to your comments. I found it tonight doing research on yet another one of your denials for another law firm that will likely result in a remand. You make accusations about me trolling the internet, guessing that I made the comments, which I did not, but these comments about you make your fury turn toward me. Why? I stand behind my work I do not hide behind a letter for my posts like whomever you are. Only you would make these kinds of comments. Whomever you think is attacking you on this website is not me, I already did that in a Federal Lawsuit and now you cannot hear my cases because you deny due process to my clients. So, if it is you, own up. Show your face. Do not hide behind the internet. I do not do that. P.S. If you want to know what I think ask me. Anyone will tell you I will say it straight to your face.

If there is an obvious conflict of interest in a case, wouldn't it be ethical for a judge to remove one's self instead of punishing the disabled individual with an automatic denial? My rating for this judge is a negative 20.

You must be mistaken about "T" being Judge McLean. A knowledgeable judge would know that something slanderous is the uttering of a false report. Something that one considers a false written statement would be libelous. Then there is a little ole thing called The Bill of Rights, Amendment I, giving Americans the freedom of speech. Surely a judge would be familiar with The Constitution of the United States! : )

What I need to know is does she approve the second time or not my daughter is disabled and she denied her the first time we just went to court a week ago but I do say she is very rude she knew that we had three people but only had two chairs and was very rude to me. Worst judge ever I hope we get approved this time I could really use the money.

The first thing my attorney told me when I walked in the office was that if I would’ve got any other Judge I would’ve got approved. That being said I walked in and within moments the judge starting asking me questions and started yelling at me when I could not remember things due to my short term memory loss from some of the drugs I take for my disabilities. She also told me that she gave no credence to my military VA 100% disability for the Social security disability, yet all through the information she referenced was from my VA records on and on again. The one thing that really was not fair but she kept calling me obese throughout the final Denial and that it caused my issues when in fact I have Cushing’s disease which causes me not to be able to lose weight in the areas that I need to for helping to get my diabetes and things under control. Also the questions that were asked had nothing to do with the amount of pain I feel daily or drug interactions or what diseases I have. It was all about whether I drive to the city have a Facebook account use a tablet or computer and whether I go to church. She uses those things to say that my socialization means that I don’t have depression which of course I do and anxiety attacks frequently. I also have PTSD and the judges treatment of me has caused me much more anxiety since the hearing due to the way I was treated as it was the same way I was treated by one of my bosses. With this all say I can tell that everybody that was in that room did not want to be there because of this judge some of them work there so they had to be my attorney had to be there because of me and quite frankly it was a waste of my time to even go to the court to do this due to the way this judge doesn’t even care to look at whether or not people are disabled disability is not always on the outside with crutches or wheelchair’s but much more and this judge does not understand that. Way to treat a veteran Judge McClean.

I have been fighting for my ssd/SSI for over 5 years.Yes McLean was my judge everything is true all the complaints. All I got was denial after denial. Now my case is federal court if it goes back to her and she denies me again. I'm so screwed. I will never be able to apply for disability again even if I got a l Iimb cut off. I can only stand for about 3 minutes at a time now the judge knows that. So here I am waiting another 2 years to find out if I get denied get my disability, or go back to judge McLean. I FEEL like I was screwed from the beginning. So watch out people cause she is real, and can mess up your life, your, family, make you homeless, even make you a lil crazy,waiting on a decision you already will be a big fat NO!

I have no respect for the whole SSAN Disability system after going before this JUDGE. This judge only cares that she can act like she does not hear you and them starts to yell at you as she pretends she can't hear. I feel sick I spent 24 years in the military and worked from the time I was 14 (three jobs at a time as a teenage and even as an adult) to become a productive member of this country only to have a judge be such a great pretender of the law. I myself have been a paralegal and my observation skill that day told me that no one was pleased to have to work with her or be in the court room to give advisement. I will end by saying my Attorney of Fact that day when I meet for my prehearing meeting told me if I have gotten any other judge I would have been approved. So going in I knew it was a waste of my time to have to even be tortured by a government employee who only give a care when the urge hits her or else she really wants to have the record of most dismissed and denied claims in OK!

This judge is a complete *****! Has no regard for the client OR the representative! Why she is still able to hold court is beyond me. She has no respect for the people she is holding court for, and has no concern whatsoever about the lives she is affecting by her actions. She needs to be removed and barred from practicing "any" law. Sounds like she is one of those leftist, democratic snowflakes who whines, cries and complains when things don`t go her way. The "note" above says that the judge may see these comments if she views this page, so think before you post. Well I hope she does one day view this page, when she is not trying to degrade someone, and see what the public has to say about the way she is presenting herself. Personally I don`t think we have anything to worry about, as far as her viewing this page, because she can`t stop herself long enough from trying to dictate to others, to come here and view what is being said about her. This judge is a good example of why we have trouble with the judicial system now, and why people across this country have such a negative attitude about the judicial system in this country. She has definitely let her position go to her head, and thinks she is God`s gift to the judicial system. Below the comment section, it says to (rate this judge). Can`t rate this judge when there is no place to rate below a (1).

If u get this judge you should cut your losses, withdrawal your case, & start all over from the beginning and refile again. Alj shopping may not be good but in extreme cases such as with judge Jennie L. McLean, where u are dealing with a neurotic personality type who views empathy as a superfluous emotion which can only cloud ones judgement and so denies most all her casses, the choice is reasonable and obvious. Alj shopping is okay in this particular situation because we are not dealing with a totally sane person but someone who is obviously very troubled and creating a lot of collateral damage and suffering for other people. Don't allow yourself to be victimized by this judge. Withdrawal your case & refile. You have a right to have your case heard by a sane responsible person who has empathy for the suffering of other human beings. Refile.

This judge treated every single person in her court room as garbage. It looks like she has been a judge for a long time. I don't know how she can keep treating people like this and get away with it. Plus, are they able to wear hearing aids in their court rooms? Does it mess with the electrical stuff? She kept repeating that she could not hear me even though I was talking as loud as I could.

Heavily biased against the mentally ill. Cherry-picks statements from doctors to support her own conclusions while completely ignoring the opinions of other treatment professionals. Focuses on minor issues such as grooming (she puts a *lot* of stock in appearance) and uses them to make completely unfounded allegations of malingering.

Takes your own words out of context, twists them around, and makes it appear as if you said something you didn't. Dismisses evidence when it's inconvenient. This sorry excuse for a human being has her mind made up in advance and if it's set against you, you're screwed. I would give her no stars if possible. Thanks, Judge, for calling me a liar, relying entirely on what that fool of a doctor said, ignoring the views of the person who sees me every week (if you'd read her notes you'd know I'm really not that well-groomed), contradicting yourself, saying I refuse to take one class medication I actually take (could've just checked the list I gave you) and failing to notice that I had to tell Dr. Useless THREE TIMES that I COULDN'T take another class because the side effects are too severe. I don't have the energy to go to the appeals council. I'm done.
Heavily biased against the mentally ill. Cherry-picks statements from doctors to support her own conclusions while completely ignoring the opinions of other treatment professionals. Focuses on minor issues such as grooming (she puts a *lot* of stock in appearance) and uses them to make completely unfounded allegations of malingering.

Sylke's at it again! Did she think a paranoid person wouldn't notice that she rigged the game to get my hearing back in her courtroom? I tried to end my life a month after that supremely ******** *** ******** *** published her error-plagued decision. The average wait time for a hearing before an ALJ in OKC is 10 months after ODAR confirms receipt of request. Because Sylke wanted me to appear before her smirking face again, my wait time will be 13 months. I see you, Sylke! There are 15 judges, and ODAR expects me to believe that some people just happen to get the same judge twice in a row. My case wasn't remanded. It's not as though the rest are much better; Jennie McClean is as crazy as I am and their newest hire has an approval rate in the teens. Hateful old right-wingers like Gordon, Linehan, Fulton and Shepherd (who are all regularly reversed by the federal appeals court) would make sure nobody got disability if they could. The OKC office is a nest of social Darwinists who want to wipe sick people off the face of the earth. Still, I'd like to lose to a judge who didn't decide two years ago that I'm a faker. Note: If you want to avoid Judge ********** McClean, hire Miles Mitzner. The guy fired me, called me an ******* in a letter, and I'm pretty sure he told just about every other disability attorney in the Greater OKC area to stay away from me, but he's a great lawyer who's racked up a ton of wins and he'll keep you away from Judge McNutty. You might end up with Sylke, who will decide you're malingering because she's too ****** to understand a depressed woman can have a matted mass of unwashed hair and still make it look neat by pulling it back into a bun, but better than the lady who thinks fans can keep the germs away from her.

While this judge did approve my SSI they requested that I have a representative payee. The reason being for this was they say that I have a daa or drug and alcohol abuse problem. I got a DUI when I was 19 and use medical marijuana to control my seizures which have caused me to be clinically dead over seven times. These two things were enough for the judge to decide that I am incapable of managing my own expenses. The term daa is outdated and the DSM defines substance use disorders as maladaptive patterns of substance use that lead to clinically significant impairment or distress. Current medical use of cannabis would not be considered maladaptive but for some reason this judge thinks so. The substance use disorder is described as when a person's use of alcohol or another substance leads to health issues or problems at work, school, or home. My neurologist is fully aware of my cannabis use and I was advised to wait on a card for medical use until after I was approved for SSI since it is only legal at a state level. This judge and their determinations are a joke and extremely biased.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

Such a nice man. He's been around so long and is so respectful towards the claimant and representative. He lets everybody come in and tell their story.

Based on the percentages above, it looks like the Honorable O'Bryan has turned an about face! Wonder why? Should we ask Mr. Coburn? Is he related to a formerly disbarred attorney of a similar name? Wow.

I have had a couple of hearings with Judge Parrish. He appears to be in his 60's. Has a very pleasant, low key demeanor. He is thoughtful and clear in his questions. I believe his normal practice is to ask one hypo based on DDS RFC and one based on treating doc's or client's testimony. He does use ME's, although sometimes their specialty is not related to the client's impairments. In my most recent hearing the ME was trying to be an advocate against the claimant and offered a number of speculative opinions.

Arrogant and very narcissistic, not competent to hold such a position . He treats disabled very unfairly. Needs to be reported to federal social security officials about the way he treats disabled individuals and how he makes them feel.

Very Intimidating and abusive in language and demeanor to persons with disabilities. A person who holds such a position should not act in such a manor. A sorry excuse for a judge.

So my son has been disabled since the age of 3, determined by a different ALJ, but has soon has he turned 18, he is no longer disabled. This system needs to be fixed. The SSI system really needs an overhaul, and they need different judges to handle the cases.

Judge Parrish is extremely prepared for his hearings. He works to listen carefully to issues related in the cases. I wish all our Judges who represent our courts were as dedicated and sincere as Judge Parrish.

I really like ALJ Parrish, but here over the last few months he really just appears to bored out of his skull. If a person could seem to like their job less, I can't imagine who it would be.....

Kelly1974 , I feel like all these comments are bogus. I went in front of Mr. Judge Parrish in June. He was very nice, and understanding. I felt comfortable when giving answers to my questions. Though I was nervous when looking at his decision approval rating I honestly feel that he is a fair judge whom follows the letter of the law. he is an amazing, fair, and honest judge. If you are honestly disabled and you have medical evidence to prove it then you have nothing to worry about. thank you Mr. Parrish for your honesty and for the job you do.

dr Donald d Horton,used him like a tool .he is not smart enough to see through this.should this kind of ignorance be a judge? Horton told me would do this and sure enough parrish fell for it . because we can not make our argument in court and our lawyers will not in fear of drs and judges feeling towards them and their money.

I tried to erase my previous comment, knowing parrish could not know dr Horton's treatment of me. sorry judge parrish, I hope no one else who has gone through what I have makes this mistake. It was Horton not parrish, who did an awful thing to me. my lawyer not parrish who let it be hidden, to their benefit.

2 time loser. After a federal judge approves case Parrish for second time denies. I was pressured to make a decision within a 3 min. window with attorney via Judge Perish to accept his watered down deal which guaranteed approval but would have to take half of the time of entitled , who does that....I wonder does he think my creditors/hospitals/doctors want half their money from the last 6 to 8 yrs. What is worse is he has the attorney convinced this a good deal. Im thoroughly outraged and disgusted at how the court system mistreats its citizens. How can a judge say he/she will approve a claimant for half their entitled time then not approve any benefits. Something very untoward about this process...

Parrish denied my case based on someone else's medical records of someone with the same name as mine. He asked about an injury from that other persons file and I explained that it was not me and I never had that injury. Her doctor released her to go back to work again, that was not my file. Parrish referred to to that file in his decision to deny my claim as well as many other things that were/are not true. The Vocatinal Expert even said there were no jobs I could do. Parrish made obvious errors. This is my life he messed with. He does not even deserve this one star.
