Judge Mary Abbondondelo is a compassionate person. She is fair and a nice lady all around. She listen to both my wife and I. Whether we get approved or not, I have to believe that Judge Mary Abbondondelo looked at all the evidence objectively.
Best judge in Louisiana!
Very nice and understanding
I agree with all the other comments regarding Judge Abbondondelo. I was informed that i will receive the results in the mail between 1 and 4 months from the date of my hearing. Prior to my hearing, when I was first notified of its date----I spoke my rep---he said I had been appointed an excellent judge. When I explained to him that I was worrying about the hearing, and how my disability, etc, would be perceived, he told me that I was worrying needlessly. Judge Abbondondelo was courteous, efficient, and got to the heart of the matter at hand, without wasting any time. She was not rude, not abrupt with me, whatsoever. I was told by my rep to follow these rules of thumb- 1. Don't lie 2. Don't interrupt. 3. Don't ramble, in other words, be concise, and answer the question asked of you by the judge, and at times, by my rep. The hearing took just under 30 minutes. It was a video hearing. There was a problem with the audio, while the vocational expert was speaking, but the judge wasn't fazed in the least........she simply had the court stenographer call the vocational expert, whom they placed on speaker phone, several questions were asked of her, by Judge Abbondondelo, re my ability to work, and to hold various job positions. Then the hearing was concluded, and I was advised of the wait time. Everything was very cut and dried, and went very smoothly and actually moved along quickly.
Judge Abbondondelo was very nice. She let me speak and was patient throughout my hearing. I haven't gotten my decision yet, but I feel like I've been blessed with the best judge that I could have been assigned to. It felt like talking to a concerned aunt :)
She was very nice in polite when she said she was going to look over my medical records
Thanks

Thank you sir for reviewing all the evidence so thoroughly. Your favorable decision has taken a great weight off my mind.

Seen him for my hearing he was nice and kind asked a few questions then he listened to my lawyer and gave us 2 weeks to get info in we needed but we was unable to get it due to my Dr I had but in all he did good still haven't got my answer on my hearing yet though but was nice while a as there..
Truly a wonderful judge. I've represented hundreds of clients before boatloads of judges, and he is one of the best I've ever worked with. He's tough - don't kid yourself that he's going to award just because he's engaged and professional at hearing. But, while I wish he'd see it my way every time, he is fair. He is also affable, easy to get along with, and kind to my clients. Really I can't say enough good things about him.
We had a hearing on June 18, 2016. We knew when we walked out that we had a favorable decision. He was more than fair.
Thank you so much John Antonowicz you was the only person in the world that believe me .Bless you for your favorable decision and you are fair and fast
Judge Antonowicz currently has my life in his hands but when we spoke on the phone I could tell he was a genuine person who seemed to have my best interest at heart. He listened to me and he was basically the only person throughout my whole ordeal that did that. When I got upset he calmed me down he treated me like a human being rather than another case number and regardless of what decision he makes referring to my case I would still recommend him to everyone going through something like this because he seemed to me like a genuinely great person. So no matter what decision you render...God Bless you Judge John Antonowicz

I went before judge applewhite my attorney said she was tough and to keep quite I spoke my mine and was approved she is a tough judge
She doesn't read her cases. She mixes information up about the people she is seeing and does not listen to what is told to her. Bad judge.
Does not even read cases and goes against expert opinions in the name of reputation. Mixed up case information causing immense suffering both financial and emotional. Should honestly be removed from this position.

I have known this Judge for several years now, first when she was in Baltimore and now that they are in DC. The only good thing about Judge Applewhite is that she appears to do few hearings. If you are unfortunate enough to be in front of her be aware of the following. 1) Judge Applewhite is extremely unprofessional both to attorney's and to claimants. When I first went in front of her when she was in Baltimore I in normal course waived reading of the issues. She completely lost her mind at this and started ranting that she was the Judge and she does not accept my waiver and then proceeded to go through the entire issue process. During my closing at that hearing I argued a listing and she again started ranting that she was the Judge and would decide if a listing was met. I told her I know that and this is just my argument during the closing. She did not seem to understand this and kept stating that SHE was the JUDGE and would decide the case not me. 2) Judge Applewhite does not understand the medical records. Her ignorance in this regard is startling. When arguing a listing in front of her (a fairly common listing at that) during a recent hearing, it was clear she did not understand the medical terms involved. At one point she misread an imaging study, and at another she stated that a listing required an extra element that it did not require. When I tried to explain the terms involved she told me to "move on" and that she "would not hear anymore on this matter." I wish this was an anomaly but it is pretty standard for her. It is not terribly uncommon for a Judge to not be medical experts on every issue, but to also refuse to hear an explanation of the existing medical documentation is absolutely ridiculous and something that so far has been unique to Judge Applewhite. 3) Judge Applewhite approves few cases. Statistically she is pretty low and from what I can tell she is one of those Judge's who actively dislikes representatives being in cases. The fact that Judge Applewhite is an ALJ is probably the strongest argument currently existing for a change up in ALJ accountability.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WTIH HER WORK SHE IS A VERY GOOD JUDGE. I JUST NEED HER TO RELEASE MY ATTORNY'S FEE BACK TO ME, ALL RELATED DOCUMENTATION WAS SUBMITTED 6 MONTHS AGO. THIS PROCESS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP JUDGE APPLEWHITE.
She despises disabled individuals. She has nothing but contempt for them. As someone noted earlier, it appears she doesn’t read her files. She’s gone from the DC OHO so she’s no longer causing damage there. She wreaked havoc on the lives of the people who appeared before her. Very sad.
Have had one hearing with this ALJ. She is pleasant and patient. She did not ask for an opening statement. She questioned the claimant generally for about 25 minutes. She did ask the VE a hypo based on less than full time sedentary work and the VE listed 3 sedentary jobs. I had to correct that on cross exam. She did not ask for closing argument. I had the impression this ALJ was fairly new to the bench. Her award rate is on the conservative side.

The states from this ALJ match up with how he conducts his hearings which are a joke. He will close hearings without allowing cross examination of the vocational expert and doesn't pay much attention to testimoy.

ALJ Bundy is a biased ALJ. He has been for years and will continue as SSA has no power. He does not care about the Claimant. He is only there to protect the administration's supposed trust fund.

He is cold hearted and a big producer. He decides more cases than 95% of the other nudges. He denies most. He is so fast he makes big mistakes so he is easy to appeal.

Made a decision based on the testimony of the expert when the expert could not say how he got his info. said the claimant twisted his doctors arm to get a statement from him. cut off the claimant when testifying about the circumstances of his depression. UNFAIR.

After having to deal with the particular ALJ twice now, I can confirm what most of the posters here have said. This man's action border on the criminal and hopefully someone within SSA will see this and conduct an investigation into Mr.Bundys actions. He does not accept what a claimant's Doctor's say nor does he consider any MRI reports as credible either. I wish there was a way to have this man removed and banned from ever serving in a legal position again. And Mr. Bundy, IF you happen to read this, you know how to contact me if you want to address my grievance.But be forewarned, I do have a few choice words for you that I will refrain from publicly posting. And if anyone else out there has had bad dealings with Judge Bundy, please post and maybe enough of us can get SSA's attention and get Mr.Bundy put to pasture where he belongs.

I thought I'd back Mr. DeGregorio's statements. I've also had the "honor" of meeting this particular judge during my last hearing. He is so biased and judgmental that he refuses to look at the FACTS and EVIDENCE in front of him. He SHOULD NOT have the power to decide the fate and/or well being of a lab rat, let alone a human being.

These comments are interesting. A few people actually like him and think he does a good job (the winners). Then there are the "worst judge ever" and "biased and judgmental" (the losers). I have appeared before Judge Bundy several times. I haven't always won, but I usually do. My take on him is that if the claimant is deserving, and his representative does a good job of representing him and is prepared for the hearing, he will award benefits. He doesn't always get it right, but who does? All in all - if you are a SS disability client - don't go to a hearing unrepresented. If you do get representation, get referrals from lawyers or other people who have been through the process. If you find a competent SS representative and you truly fit the SS definition of disabled, you will get a fair hearing from this judge, in my experience.

I really don't know what kind of judge Mr Butler is. It has been 9 months since my hearing and have not heard a peep since. He said it may take up to 2 months for a judgement, the lawyer says may be more like 4months, now at 9 months you start to wonder if he can even remember you to make a decision. Oh well.

this judge made a decision on what he "believes" not what the evidence showed. this whole process has been a joke, legal people making medical decisions. the "Doctor" they sent me to checked my vitals, testes my reflexes all in about 5 minutes didnt even want to talk about why i was there. but this judge gave a great deal of weight to this quack who is just running a ss scam for money!! i dont qualify for a mental disability, but that was never my issue it was physical! what a joke. i want to know who he has approved and how long he has sat on other decisions.
I was told by my attorney that Judge Butler takes Months and months to decide on disability cases. I went to see him on August 7, 2013...after already waiting 2 years to get my Hearing date with a Federal Judge. SO now I have waited 3 years. I broke my foot off my ankle in 2008. I have a plate and 6 screws holding it on. I have daily pain in my right ankle. It is tearing up my left knee that was operated on in 1996...I have a torn meniscus on my right knee and my right hip is getting worse the more I walk. I had a Nervous Breakdown in 2010 and Found out I am Manic Depressive and this whole thing with not being able to walk is driving me nuts. I have not worked...I can not work. My dyslexia is so bad I have had to back space and retype just to type this so you can read it. I want to make a Formal Complaint about Judge Larry Butler... How do I do that?
I went in front of this Judge and all he wanted to know was where I slept and nothing about my health !!!!!
One of the most hateful, smart mouth judges I've ever witnessed in my life. I spent 6 yrs fighting this judge. Lost all disability credits and had to reapply for ssi. I was given a different ALJ and won my case. This man is the worst of the worst.
Had a hearing in may 2016 and it's now February 2017 and U still have not heard anything. I'm not gonna be very happy if I've waited this long and racked up a bunch of debt trying to survive just to get a denial.
It has been over a year since I went before this Judge and he never made a decision. He wasn't concerned about my health and what my doctors had provided. Just kept wondering why a middle aged white woman wasn't working. I don't know why he is allowed to preside over these Hearings. He is biased and rude.
this judge is not for the people . he does not care about anyone. the public should be allowed to sue him personally. I do not think judges should be immune from accountability .

Denver ODAR getting a really good ALJ in Judge Day. Judge Day has been in Shreveport ODAR and was a pleasure to go before as a representative. She is fair and a great disposition for a Judge. I wished she had not left Shreveport, but I don't blame her for going to a place like Denver. Best wishes to her!!
Great judge . Very personal and very observative and understanding
Judge Deramus was very professonal during the hearing asked me detail and fair question and listen to my answers carefully,very pleased with the whole process,He is very good conservative judge whom i respect. And very thankful for his timely and fair decision.FIVE STARS FOR THIS JUDGE.
Judge Osly Deramus exemplified a level of professionalism that reflected his experience and knowledge in our deliberations. At the onset of the hearing, he explained in detail the procedure and our rights under the law. His questions were clear and concise. He allowed enough time for responses to his questions. We were extremely pleased with the manner and dexterity with which he handled the hearings. Judge Deramus is a "FIVE STAR" Judge and comes recommended with our highest esteem. Thanks for your dedication to a call of duty.
She is nice to the Claimant's which is most important but is extremely arrogant and think she knows it all.

Terrible person and a worse ALJ. Didn't consider the medical evidence at all, based her "judgement" on her opinions only! Horrible!
This judge does base her decisions on her personal opinions and assumed facts. She will not take the time to recieve all of the information to make an accurate decisions.
Judge Dunlap is one of, if not the, very best ALJ's. Her knowledge of Social Security Disability law is amazing, and she is patient, kind, professional, and willing to provide extra time to complete the record--even to order a post-hearing consultative examination. When my clients are fortunate enough to be assigned to her, I tell them they have the best. I've even gone so far as to say that I probably will not appeal her decision, because it probably will be right. I'm shocked to read that anyone would think negatively of her.
Very patient and professional...does not let reps ramble, but was very on point and in charge during the hearings I had before her...
I WILL BE GOING BEFORE THIS JUDGE IN A FEW WEEKS, I AM A NON ATTORNEY REPRESENTATIVE. CAN I GET SOME FEEDBACK ON HOW SHE LIKES TO HOLD COURT. THANKS
We were before her twice. She denied first case. Appeals council remanded because she had not considered the opinion of a renowned specialist at Baylor. She really had a attitude at the second hearing. This time, the Appeals Council remanded again and sent her a very detailed list of errors she had made that were not in accordance with social security laws and procedure. So, I would have to say she is not as well versed in SSI law as others have said. This time they remanded to another ALJ because of all her screw ups.
How is this judge it's been almost 5 months and no answer is she a good judge
Can anyone tell if this judge is fair
I won partial disability after a federal remand. I'm not over my illnesses, none of them I cry in pain daily. I struggle sleepingm I actually recently found out from a neurologist that I have small fiber neuropathy that led to a lot of my fibromyalgia illness, plus 60% hereditary from my mom. I was in a car accident in 97 he thinks the neuropathy started then that's when my migraines started. I was forced to try to go back to work and failed to as my job was threatened by my employers, but this judge felt I was better for some reason. My impression of her was she understood, but after reading her report she did not understand at all. Saying someone is better as they have an asthma attack in the court room and because they try to do something and you found that they would not be able to do this either should not put them partially disability. But fully. Unfortunately I will not keep fighting I'm out of points I will just have to wait until retirement comes. But its unfortunate we pay into a system so broken it helps people who never pay into it, then those of us who cant get as my neurologist puts it energy into the cell and that fibromyalgia recognized in 2012 counted as severe by "my rheumatologist " who knew me who not only saw me but emailed me about my symptoms and my multiple other doctors and two other rheumatologist who saw me. I have other Autoimmune it takes years to figure out yet you still had it back in 2017 I tried to explain it nobody hears your pain and suffering, your fatigue nobody gets it until they have it, or know someone with it as bad as you have it. The stuff listed isn't near as bad as my fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and autoimmune stuff other than my asthma. Sad bc I liked her disposition. But maybe the surgery amplified all this the neurologist said. It's sad you cant get help. But neuropathy is disabling. And nobody listens.
I went before her, very recently. She was initially friendly and then immediately became condescending when she began questioning me. I was filing for permanent disability due to major depression and bipolar disorder. About the only questions she asked me about (and she made sure she made a big deal about it) was some mission trips and vacation trips. I believe she already had her decision before I ever walked in the door. She asked the job expert if I could physically work at a job assembling nuts/bolts or being a garment bagger. The expert said yes. That was it for her. Then my rep asked the expert if I could retain either of those jobs if I missed an average of four days a month. The expert said no. I very much felt like she had discounted me and saw me as someone trying to work the system before I ever walked through the door. I will be requesting a copy of the audio recording of my hearing upon my appeal.

Fair judge, but be ready to address unemployment, inconsistent statements in the file, or drug and alcohol issues. He does not overlook that kind of thing at his hearings but tends to be cool that hit those issues head on honestlyrather than try to cover them up as if they did not exist.

This ALJ is thorough and methodical. Will ask for opening statement and do general questioning. Usually does one hypo based on DDS opinions of RFC and one based on FCE or client's testimony.

A real piece of work for a Judge, doesn't care if you've stopped using drugs or not, if it's in you're record that you've used in your past you will be judged for it and denied unfairly without regard. Kinda makes a person wish they were dishonest about using in the first place, so while over half the population at the homeless shelter in Tulsa get free room and board all the drugs and alchohol they want they can collect for being disabled but let someone apply who actually is disabled but has a "history" of marijuana use and they get denied.. doesn't make ANY SENSE. So by this judge's actions i give him one star by my standards one star is too much have a great day.
Seamed very down to earth. Spoke clearly and said to let him know if I did not understand the question so I felt better at ease. I did not fear him like I expected to 'fear the judge'. I felt like he was understanding of unusual circumstances, even though I did not receive a verdict that same day.

Pleasant, easy going. Questions claimant generally and then lets rep develop specifics. His award rate has come down over the last year.

I've had two hearings with this ALJ and my experience is consistent with other comments here. He's very easy going, pleasant to work with, non-confrontational. Like most ALJ's over the last couple years, if they had a high award rate they seem to have gotten pressured to come down in the 45-60% range.

I had my hearing in front of a younger guy he was in his late 30s to early 40s but i don't remember his name. He was very nice he asked me most of the questions looked at my evidence and asked my lawyer if he had anything to add. He said no he thought i had said everything i needed to so he want going to waste his time. It lasted maybe 15 minutes then asked me if i had a drivers license and said he was rolling my date back to the date of my car wreck. I don't know if i won or lost but my lawyer said he felt really good about it.

I had my hearing this morning with honorable judge Mark Ferguson. He was very kind and listened to my answers very closely. He spoke very clearly and made me feel comfortable. I give this judge 5 stars.
I am very grateful of your thorough review of my son's case. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude. This has been a long journey, but I know my son and I have more to overcome. Thank you for your part in clearing the thicket of receiving support for my precious son, who has sickle cell disease and asthma.

He is a honest and fair A.L.J.,who decides on the evidence presented.All judges of nhc Baltimore can learn from him and each other. 10/06/14
This Judge is a listener more than a talker.He gives a good impression of all Judges of LA.He,ll go along way in his profession. Thank you.
This judge seem to listen to what I had to share. Along with the evidence of all I had to present. I was very nervous and he made me feel at ease. Don't know how other A.L.J. but I would recommend this judge.
Judge Greenberg is a very fair judge who listened closely to eveything I had to say. He could clearly see that I am unable to work and made his decision before the hearing was even over. This was a tremendous relief to me and I am very grateful for his immediate decision. Not having to wait for a letter in the mail saved me weeks of anxiety. Thank You!
He seemed really fair and I was extremely anxious during my hearing it's been almost six months since my hearing and was told today a decision had been made to wait for my letter in the mail I'm extremely nervous because I can not work and I really hope he completely reviewed my case because I can't keep fighting it's been 4 years of fighting and no income so fingers crossed he took my entire history into account
Awesome warm hearted judge!!!!

I am a Minnesota attorney with 25+ years of experience. First, a comment about the "low approval rate" at NHC in St. Louis. Their office is trying to help hearing offices around the country catch up on the huge backlog of claims. You can decline a video hearing and wait many more months for a hearing in person with a Minneapolis judge. Many attorneys tell me they always decline the video hearings because of these same statistics. What they don't understand is their actions may be the exact reason the statistics look so bad. The judges are much more likely to dismiss or deny a claim that does not have all the important evidence in or unprepared witnesses. An experienced attorney matters. My clients and I have appeared in front of Judge Haigler multiple times. You can tell he has always read the file carefully. (Not true of all judges.) Like appearing in front of the Supreme Court for oral arguments, he will tell the attorney at the beginning of the hearing the specific parts of the record he needs clarified or explained if we want to convince him of the severity of the medical problems. He is respectful and courteous questioning the claimant. He allows you to go past the usual one hour hearing time if you have a translator or essential witness.
Judge Haigler was previously in Shreveport for a couple of years and was always very fair. You would be hard pressed to find a better ALJ.
I would like to say that I went before this judge and my experince with him was all right and if I can say so fair as well. I have not got my decesion but when I was face to face he seem like I would be approved. Well now the waiting game begins.
i just went in front of this judge. he was respectful and not mean. i wont get a decision for a while my attorney says but at least this judge made me comfortorable.
I went before Judge Whitfield Haigler and must say that he is a very polite and respectful Judge. He explains the process, before the Hearing begins and asks if there is anything that you do not understand. He is a fair Judge and tries to make the process more comfortable. I won't know thd decision for a few months; however, I felt that Judge Haigler is a great Judge and I was treated with complete respect. I felt like he saw me as a human and nothe just some case number. The waiting begins.
It's been a while since I was approved for Disability but I wanted to report that the honorable Judge: Whitfield Haigler, was easy to be in front of when I went for my hearing. I was terrified of what would happen, but he and all the other people who were there made me feel at ease and I was able to answer their questions and present my case for disability. I am glad I won't have to go through that again. I waited 2 1/2 years to be approved for disability and by not being able to work, I went bankrupt and lost all my assets. I feel that the Social Security Administration should not be so difficult to convince when someone applies for their Social Security. I started working at the age of 16 and worked until the age of 60. After spending years to build up my credit and assets, I lost everything I had due to becoming unable to work, then applying for disability and getting denied three times before being approved. I had to sell everything I owned just to live for those 2 1/2 years with no income at all. Now I am 65 and have a small Social Security income, but I have no assets, and my credit rating is shot to pieces. I will never be prosperous again as long as I live. At this time, I am staying with family, waiting for a low-income apartment to become available for me. I do thank God that this Judge finally approved my disability because if he hadn't, I don't know what would have happened to me.
Rushed us through hearing. Given only 25 minutes for case to be heard, and then omitted parts of my testimony from actual hearing. My case was denied. I have a form of cognitive impairment that is Early Alzheimers, but because of my age (46), I am being asked to remain in the work force doing menial work where I will most likely get fired within my 90 day period because of my memory. I have an attorney. I still lost. If I were four years older, I would get a compassionate allowance, by that point I may not even be able to remember it's available.

HI my name is april curl my judge in the case for disability is judge Johnson. Have anyone let the judge decide and not have the hearing? what should I expect from judge Johnson. Right know I am suffering with bipolar depression very bad. I did not have a hearing because I feeling not myself. I have been fighting to get disability because my condition has woresen
Had my court hearing with Judge Mary E Johnson in June and she was very caring and took time to listen to my and my lawyers comments. I am very pleased with her and highly recommend her to anyone else. Thank you so much Judge Johnson for listening to me and awarding me my benefits. God bless always.
Very nice and made me feel very comfortable. Was very knowledgeable in what he was doing.
Judge Kirzner is a direct and no nonsense ALJ. He was professional and thorough during his line of questioning during my SSDI Hearing. Following his lead made it less challenging for me to answer his questions because his questions were clear and direct. One could not make any assumptions about what decision he would make because of his professionalism and thoroughness during the hearing. I am unsure of what the outcome may be but I can honestly say that Judge Kirzner's professionalism and experience lessened some of my anxiety about what the next step is. I can honestly say that if I'm denied I received a fair hearing.
Very respectful and a man of compassion and integrity
Have a hearing in September with Judge Lafata, is their anyone who could give me some feedback on Mr. Lafata? Thanks in advance!
Mine was an easy decision for any human being. He got the job done very fast.
This is my first time having a hearing with this judge. Hope someone could give me some feedback about this judge. I will be represented by my lawyer. So I don't know what to expect.
@Fully favorable how long did it take Judge Lindsay to approve your case?
I was denied. Her ruling was full of lies and assumptions. She contradicts herself several times. Lots of miss information.
I felt her ruling was unfair and she made assumptions without asking me any questions.
I felt her ruling was unfair and she made assumptions without asking me any questions.
This judge’s ruling was shocking and unfair. Many hurtful assumptions were made and both my legal team and physicians were at a loss, meanwhile I continue to suffer and am unable to get the treatment needed to save my life. The ruling also contradicts itself and lacks important data proving my daily hardship and disability.
Her supervisors and our congressional members need to be made aware of her conduct. No judge should get by with putting false information and contradictory info into the rulings. If she is doing this to get back at some attorney's because she does not like how they argue a case, that is btw them. Leave us out of it.
amazing and nice
Something needs to done about this woman seriously she gives the social security system a really bad name.

I believe that she is fair and really wants to help a person if they really need it she listens and puts a smile on her face she doesn't look all grumpy and mean she lets you know and feel that she also is human, And God has the last say. Thank you Judge Pate!! (smile)
Anne Pate heard my my daughter's case. My daughter has a fever back injury from a four car pile up. This was in 2011. She also has PTSD, severe depression as was documented. This judge determined that she could work for six hours in a day a job that allows her to sit no more than 30 minutes or stand no more than 30 minutes. This judge isn't here when I had to call the Georgia crisis help line because my daughter has been suicidal. Her sister come see her. She doesn't go see them. Plus she had that Alisha worked five months ago which isn't true. She hasn't worked at all since 2013. After the wreckless driver smashed us, she had been out of work since 2011. She tried to work again in 2013. Many times I had to pick her up because she couldn't do her job due to pain. How can a person pay for medical bills on 6 hours a day? Is that really gainfully employed?? The vocation expert said if she missed 3 days at the 3 types of jobs she could do, she would be terminated. That would really go well being fired all the time for a person with PTSD. Where is common sense? I hope Social security reads my daughter's file and see that this judge was dead wrong! Alisha has a problem in that she isn't dramatic. Yet people with PTSD are not as a rule. They fold in. I will continue to pay my daughter's medical bills because I want to keep her alive as social security doesn't care if she lives. I'm selling my house so I can care for her. My daughter suffers due to no fault of her own. Yet if she was an addict she would get the help she needs. . Not right. Spondolothesis Spondolsis, and loss of disc height is a joint. It's the most important bones in your body. Back bones hold the person up. Yet I'm here when she is in tears from the pain. Ms. Anne Pate is not. I was here all the times she thinks life isn't worth living. Imagine as a mother hearing that from your child. Yet just like the ***** that hit us and broke my back in two places, we as victims always suffer. Alisha's back is ruined and yet no justice from this judge.
This judge lies. He lied about what medical records he had in his possession. The medical records that he said he didn't have are clearly listed in the "Medical Records" section at the end of his decision. He believed nothing that I said and nothing that any of the doctors said. Two of those doctors were hired by the Social Security Administration. In his decision, Judge Peebles seemed to be arguing with the doctors. I was diagnosed with several illnesses which the doctors documented in the records and still Judge Peebles said in his decision that I don't have any of these illnesses. He said that the doctor's opinion was inconsistent with the overall records. He threw out other diagnoses because he said my answers were inconsistent with those illnesses. He misspelled many of the words in his decision and some of those that were spelled correctly were misused, i.e. dysphonic (problems with the voice) vs. dysphoric (unhappy).
i can relate because i went before him as well and i have copd, a real bad back i have to have help going areas in my apartment, i have diabetis and diabetis nerve pain in my feet. and he denied me and i cannot even stand or sit for no more than a few minutes before i have lay down. the medications i am on make me dizzy and sleepy. no one is going to hiring me if i cannot keep my eyes open and i have to lay down every few minutes.
I have now appeared before Judge Peebles three times. Out of the 70 or so ALJs I've been before, he is one of the best. Conducts his hearings logically and calmly, is polite to the claimant and ensures she understands what is going on, is fully aware of what's in the record. He may come to a different conclusion than what the claimant/representative would like, but he will do it fairly and conscientiously. Know your case, prepare your client, and expect to be treated in a dignified, congenial manner.
I was a respected professional in society. I paid for my "insurance policy" working hard for years. I had never asked anyone for anything. Mental Illness hit me hard, swift, and unexpected. My credibility untarnished. My integrity in order. The judge operates Deceitfully. I was victimized by his inability to utilize common sense, no decernment was at play. It's been over 3 years. Others before me committed suicide while he prolonged their case. He decides on who lives and who dies solely at his discretion. Evidence means nothing when he is partial to who he self appoints as valid testimonies. Betrayed by every means. Righteousness repaid with Wickedness. Lord I forgive this man. Lord help me forgive. I trust in you alone I look to you for my security.
He was professional and it seemed like he actually reviewed records prior to the hearing. He is to the point and he seems like he's fair.
He did not review the updated records. He is a complete idiot and will lie straight to your face. I'm definitely filing a complaint against him.
He’s a typical corrupt judge that will find any excuse to deny you what YOU have worked for. God will be the final judge.

Had 4 hearings with this judge, she asks hypotheticals that all over the place. Asked about 7 different hypos on each hearing. Hard to tell how she will rule. Asks a lot of questions herself, lets attorney have 15 minutes to discuss the medical conditions and limitations.

Waiting since March for a decision. Was living with my mom on her socal security and she passed away recently. Now I have no income and cannot work at all... please please need a positive decision very soon. Judge was very professional and seemed very fair. I pray every day I hear news soon.
Forgot to leave rating
He is awesome! That is all!

Know it all! Makes decisions without all medical records...cocky ,doesn't care or listen. Just because he s a judge doesn't make him any more human than anyone else!! Some of us don't have the money to have a EASY government job...if we did no one would need social security!
Waste of time.. unless you have a lawyer...social security pays such lawyers a small fee and award your case JUST so they DONT have to pay so much back pay..its a corrupt racket!
I would just like to say that Judge Scott M Staller was very nice to me and listen to everything I had to say. I didn't get a decisions yet, but thats ok I no i went in there and told the truth about my condition and now it's in Gods hands.
i had a hearing 6-13-16 with judge staller although i didn't get a decision yet i think he was very fair, listened to what i was saying.
still waiting on my decision since 6-17-16
Very Fair
Very sad that my sons case was denied I can not understand it This govrrnment is so wasteful and yet we cannot take care of own . Praying
Judge Staller seemed to be very fair. He seemed very intent on what I had to say which was appreciated by me. My hearing was on July 10, 2017 and I'm still waiting a decision. I haven't worked in over 3 years and frankly I'm in trouble if not approved as my money is just about depleted. I'm hoping and praying a positive decision comes soon. I know in my heart i need this and I told the truth about my condition. I trust he will make the right decision.
Scott staller looked at my evidence of being raped bashed and left dying and choking on my own blood. While waking to a geder idenity mesure which allowed my petpatrator to go free and left me with no justice. Before this I wad disabled at age 18 and later in life began trying to work because people called me lazy. I worked as a singer opping act for Waylyn Jennings and Jessica Colter in 1996...I workef as a sesfood and meat clerk at Meijer for 5 years before that a seafood and meat clerk at D&W Foods...I worked as a janitor for a twelve story building in Grand rapids mi...then I moved too Indiana and workef at Pizza hut for 4 years and tjen in jewelry at Walmart for 5 years. Then in 2006 is when I was rsped bashed and left for dead...I now have no cartilege in my nose this has been replaced with titatium metal....I have PTSd severe headachs that last for a month...Supperhigh blood presure anixty attaks..... It took me years and severl letters to President Obama...The federal didn't want me to have a court date....Hoever the Obama administration and the hall of justice sent me Judge Staller from Lousiana. I brought my evidence in and asked judge for disability ssi ssd suvivers and retiernment with full medical and 200.00 a month in food. Wonderful Judge Staller granted me all in 2009, fully favoible! However by 2010 the Social Security Administration sent me a letter which cut me down too $124.00 per month and paid my years bavk pay at $124.00...I callef the SSA which told me, "We don't care what the judge rulled for you Richard! This is welfare and this is all you're going to get!" So then in the comming month my father came down with prostate cancer lost his job at Notre dame. Dad and me had just bought a new house these hapoenings caused us to lose our home! So again I wrote the Obama administration and they sent me a list of lawyers...I picked kellum and she helped. I recieved $back pay at $124.00 a month which was $9,000...So I used this money after my dad recoverd from prostate surgery in dead of winter durring a blizzerd...to pay for my fathers bankduptsy and move us to kalamazoo, mi And today I am still being abused by the Socail security administration from Benton Harbor to Kalamazoo trying to cancel my bennifets to taking away my food on thanksgiving day all while my father has cancer again; a huge mass removed which was growing into a kidney he lost ...Socail Security Administrion has terrized me so bad that I have recently been dignosed with a bad heart. You see SSA is refussing to give me my survivers INS...while claiming I wasn't disabled at 18..... Sincerely Richard

I thought my hearing went well. I was told by social security office this judge found my case unfavorible. I am suffering from PTSD from an attack that also caused severe back and neck injuries. I do not understand how judge came to that conclusion. I also have suffered from agoraphobia for the pays few years. During my hearing VE said there were no jobs I can perform. I am very upset that this judge acted so compassionate then found my case unfavorable. I do plan on filing an appeal or reapplying. Just because this judge acts if he cares it is all an act. I hope the longer he deals with disability hearings he realizes how he is affecting people who are really disabled. There are so many people getting disabiliy that does not deserve it. I am so upset and don't even see how I can go on.
I thought my hearing went well. I was told by social security office this judge found my case unfavorible. I am suffering from PTSD from an attack that also caused severe back and neck injuries. I do not understand how judge came to that conclusion. I also have suffered from agoraphobia for the pays few years. During my hearing VE said there were no jobs I can perform. I am very upset that this judge acted so compassionate then found my case unfavorable. I do plan on filing an appeal or reapplying. Just because this judge acts if he cares it is all an act. I hope the longer he deals with disability hearings he realizes how he is affecting people who are really disabled. There are so many people getting disabiliy that does not deserve it. I am so upset and don't even see how I can go on.
