I for one would be happy to have Judge Balutis presiding any case presented to the court. I find him to be reasonable, open-minded, and solution based. His presentation is with expertise, and his professionalism does not go unnoticed. I find him to be an asset to the ODAR office.

I went before Judge Balutis on December 14th 2015..My husband passed away December 13th but my family took me to my hearing anyway..Judge Balutis was so kin and considerate of my husbands death, so he continued my hearing for another date. We had the hearing and he is a wonderful Judge, very professional, Kind, and again considerate. I appreciate him and his staff..

It appears from his initial approval rates, the SSA sent him off for re-education: "clockwork orange style." After his initial year his approval rates dropped dramatically to an abysmal 18%-19%. If this is not a sign of ALJ re-education by the SSA I do not know what is.

This Judge takes no mercy on your case. Ignorant, unfair and treats your lawyer with no respect. Makes his own judgement's on what mood he is in. Takes none of you serious injuries or Heath serious. Avoid at all costs. Uses his ego to show his unjustified judgements.

denied my claim in 10 days. VE said I could not do my previous job but could do "office helper" {Prior job was skilled labor}. Even though when my attorney cross examined the VE and she then said "I could NOT maintain a job in the other work do to physical limitations". This DUDE {not worthy of title of "Your Honor" is a ****, he has one of the lowest approval ratings of ANY judge in the Nation, 'nuff said. If you get notified that he will hear your case it would be worth refusing him. and waiting another year just to get a FAIR Judge.

This Judge and I say that loosely is a disgrace. He has a nasty attitude and honestly I believe he hates his job. With a record of 53% denied and 27% approved, no wonder those at the ODAR office love him. He is not for the sick and should be removed ASAP.

Judge balutis is a joke. Waited 2 years and he cancelled 15 minutes before my hearing while I was waiting to go in. I wrote a letter of complaint to the Head judge and was rescheduled 3 months later. First words out of Judge balutis mouth was to chastise me for writing a letter to the Head judge. He denied my case even though my paperwork is impeccable and my testimony completely matched my doctors opinions. Let's face it, he has half the approval rate and twice the denial right of any other judge. You would think somebody would look into this. He's ruining more than my life he's ruining other people's lives as well.

Update: I guess I just wasn't sick enough at the time. Last week they found me face down and flat line for 10 minutes. Look at this judges statistics. I think he gets off on denying people he approves half of what everybody else does. I guess I just wasn't dead enough for him. he needs to go and I'm going to lobby for it. I don't want some other poor person go to what I had to do with this guy.

Total disgrace. Denies 50% of cases. With multiple medical problems that require multiple medications, I guess he still thought my 62 yr old mother is well enough to work. Fibromyalgia, heart issues, diabetes, depression, anxiety, CHF all are not enough for this guy. This guy is an ******** ******* who gets off on hurting people.

This guy is a joke. I have multiple, chronic illnesses. My physicians say I can't work. I'm almost 60, have prescriptions a mile long and I'm homeless because I can't work. Evidently I need to be dead in order to be approved by this idiot. He needs to lose his job!!!

He denied a claim where the person could not move their arm, has PTSD and has steel plates in their leg. The DR said this person could not work for more than an hour a day. This person has only ever worked labor jobs yet this moron believes they can return to work even though the DR said no more than an hour.

This judge was very polite, asked many questions about my previous history and disability. Seemed to be very interested in my case and reviewed all my information. Had my hearing 2 and a half weeks ago and still waiting on decision.

Fast talking, will ignore the evidence and basically go off of his own opinion. Unless there are a ton of objective findings, get ready to be denied.

I got a partially favorable with cancer, 5 doctors said I'll never work again but Judge Boini said he talked to a friend that is a doctor and he feels I should ok within a year, he totally dismissed my doctors in favor of a friend and by discussing it with a friend he violated HIPPA laws but other than what he told me I can't prove it.

A cluless judge has no idea what people go through on a daily basis to just survive with a illness and a average wait of over a year he will just ignore all the facts presented. All the stats show how good he is as a judge with the lowest of all 13 people in my opinon should be taken off the bored for not doing his job right

At my hearing he fully explained the process of how the case gets decided, what a lawyer can do for me and how that can be paid for. Before swearing me in he asked if I understood everything. He repeated questions when I didn't understand them and told me he was going to try and get some additional records from my doctors before deciding the case. I was granted benefits, but even if I that didn't happen, I feel he was fair and polite.

I represent claimants before ALJs in this office frequently. I always felt this ALJ to be thorough and evidence-driven. He always allowed me to get updated evidence post-hearing and often sent out for medical opinions not to overlook my clients' possible disability. He's been congenial and fair in every one of my cases with him.

Completely ignored my doctors reports. Stenosis, R.A. and Disc disease. I have over 450 pages of medical reports..Medications alone won't allow me to work let alone my physical issues. Yet he wonders who does my make up??? R U kidding me. Hollered at me! Totally disrespectful. And disreguarded EVERYTHING my (3) specialists sent him. This is someone who does NOT belong on the seat in which he sets. I am NOT predjudice but this man obviously is. He thrives on being a judge with the most denials on the bench..

I represent claimants at the Wilkes-Barre hearing office and know many other representative who do so as well. None of us have received any decisions under this ALJs name in more than 4 months. My assistant has spoken with staff in the office, and cases previous assigned to him are being decided by other ALJs, so it is unlikely that any decisions issued recently were by this ALJ. Several other ALJs have rather low rates of favorable decisions so the problem may be systemic.

At my hearing he questioned my alcohol problem now I come to find out he has a drinking and sexual problem. I have worked continuously from the age of 15(even younger but won't go there) until my disability at age 57. My case is now in appeal and I am in chapter 7, my car was repossessed 3 weeks ago and I will be losing my house shortly. Sure all you people that were approved think he is fair. he was probably drunk when he heard your case! As far as I'm concerned if he is convicted of sexual offense and drinking on the job he should get everything he's entitled to!

City police arrested a judge for the Social Security Administration on charges that he groped two women and kissed one of them against her will, police said. Sridhar Boini, 42, 215 Marcaby Lane, South Abington Twp., faces two counts of indecent assault. The first occurred July 26 when Judge Boini returned to his office at 409 Lackawanna Ave. after lunch, police said. He called a female security officer into his chambers, kissed her and grabbed her breasts without her consent, police said. The woman told investigators Judge Boini smelled of alcohol at the time. The Times-Tribune does not identify victims of sexual assault. While city police Detective Vince Uher investigated the incident, he learned that Judge Boini had grabbed another woman's breasts in the Social Security office on June 30, 2011, according to a news release. Judge Boini was arraigned Friday and released on $25,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Nov. 19. Contact the writer: [email protected], @domalleyTT on Twitter Ads by Yahoo!

Michael, I understand everything you are going through. After going to college and paying into this rotten system for over 30 years, I was told that I could be a cafeteria attendant. My home is in foreclosure, I lost Cobra benefits, no healthcare, no more treatment for my "fake" disability. Now I have to find a job in a cafeteria, where I will probably have to steal food to feed my family. Its Disgusting!

Michael, I understand everything you are going through. After going to college and paying into this rotten system for over 30 years, I was told that I could be a cafeteria attendant. My home is in foreclosure, I lost Cobra benefits, no healthcare, no more treatment for my "fake" disability. Now I have to find a job in a cafeteria, where I will probably have to steal food to feed my family. Its Disgusting!
He is a ******* and belongs in jail!!!!!!

very nice and reasonable judge, made me feel comfortable and listened to, very considerate and he actually listened to what i had to say & gave me a Fully Favorable Decision, i couldn't be more pleased with how he handled the court room and how he read and understood my records. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice he was. Thank You Judge Brady!

agree with all the comments here. Is civil, patient, respectful, and fair. Is non-adversarial which is the way the hearing is supposed to be.

I was surprised to find that Judge Brady actually took the time to read and become familiar with my medical records. Although I was very nervous and felt I rambled at times, he was patient and listened carefully to what I had to say. His questions were not confrontational at all, just the opposite-he tried to make me feel at ease. If you should get him as your ALJ just know that you will be treated fairly and with consideration.

Mr. Brady I'm Gary Zubris. I wanted to introduce myself to you because you were very nice to me in my hearing. Very understanding and even cut my testimony short because it was obviously a waste of all our time reviewing me since I have so many issues physical and mental I am trying to push through so I may rejoin society someday when I'm able. You clearly knrw it was not time and the message you sent with my lawyer after the appeals hearing was that I won and would be getting notification of winnimg in about 30 days. But I do want to ask you why after 7 months of sweating every day with my family waiting for the letter a denial came in the mail. Is this the right forum for this or can I contact you directly? I would like to hear from your mouth the reason I got the denial. Because off the record....I know why. I'm waiting to see if I'm granted another appeal in Virginia now. And we have so many copies of ongoing medical records that even a blind man vould not deny my disabilities. I am very disappointed that politics controls a federal judge.

Can somebody explain to me how 1 judge can have a 71% approval rate and another judge has a 24% approval rate? Is one judge being more sympathetic than the other? I really don't understand the huge difference. Look at some of the approval rates and denial rates across the board. Makes NO sense to me!

This man sounds sympathetic and understanding, why oh why couldnt I have gotten him? If you have medical reports that back you up there should be no reason to be denied. Since when do these judges has licenses to practice medicine?

What is extremely interesting is the drastic change in this Judge's approval rate during the past one and a half to two years: from the high 70% or low 80% to, now, only 44%! WHY IS THAT??

The drop in approval rate involves many truly disabled peoples lives being ruined.We can only guess why his approval numbers have declined so much.To those who got caught in this whirlwind,we pretty much know why he has done this.This was not a yearly decrease,this was one big plethora of denials in the last Year and a Half regardless of the facts.The facts were turned negative, and the evidence that supported the disabled claimant was THROWN OUT.This must Stop.There must be something done to end this.There are too many people that worked their whole life that deserved to collect the insurance they paid for all their lives.It Can NOT Go On NO MORE.

There is no more glaring example of negative pressure and influence by the agency "bean counters", Congress, and other entities affecting the judicial independence and decision making of this Judge than the dramatic change in his pay and deny rates. His pay rate was in the area of 80%, he was then cited as an outlier because of this rate in a report and his pay rate dropped drastically to the area of 40%. How absurd is that????!!!!

I also wanted to say about judge Charles Dominic, is that he was extremely polite. Asked a huge amount of questions that covered just about everything. There was a few things I forgot to tell him, but Im confident he will find those answers in my medical records. Example When he asked me about side effects of my medications, I told him nightmares. But I must of elaborated on something else and forgot to tell him about extreme fatigue and major memory loss. Currently my panic attacks are coming back and Im scared of how my mental condition is going to be if Judge Dominic denies me. But I am hopeful and continue to pray everyday. I do not see any reviews on Judge Charles Dominic on here so I felt it was important to tell people about my very positive experience with him. Thank you.

This is an intellegent judge. She tends to disbelieve claimants. She appears tougher than she is. If your client has a good and diligent work history, you will be successful.

This judge failed to evaluate my record as a whole and give proper weight to my medical evidence. She is not a very nice judge, and does not believe claimant's. I had a attorney present, and he was a very good attorney with many years of experience.

Judge Garrety has a reserved style. She starts by asking the claimant questions, but is patient with letting the attorney ask more questions. She wants a through record. She does ask for an opening and closing statement.

This judge tends to not believe claimants as others have stated. The evidence was crystal clear as could be. To make a long story short my case was remanded to a different judge. My new judge has a 73% approval rate he will make the decision that should have been made in the first place- Approved!!

Fast denial - this judge flip-flops many times to justify her decision. Her approval % says it all. Total waste & now have to start over and play judge roulette again! She's a disgrace - 16 judges and she's the 4th worst & shooting for number 1. Disgusting individual

Disregarded the opinions of my medical professionals, also no regard for the social security doctors opinions and denied disability. This judge gave no weight to overwhelming evidence proving disability. It is shameful and unprofessional. Looking at his track record he denied almost half of all claims.

He schedules hearings 30 minutes apart, and just turns the hearing over to the attorney to "present your case". That's fine, but he often interrupts the attorney's examination of the claimant when he starts to hear things he doesn't like. For example: when trying to get a claimant to explain his non-compliance with his doctors' recommendations, he would just cut me off and interject his own adversarial cross-examination of the claimant. In any event, it's apparent that DAA is a major problem in ANY case with this judge even if the treating sources say it's not material to the disabling conditions. He also holds it against the claimant that his/her attorney had to pay for an RFC statement from a treating source. Here in Michigan, you'd be hard pressed to find a medical source that did not require payment for an RFC.

Tells you to "present your case" and then interrupts, interjects, cross examines and humiliates the claimant. If claimant's treating source has the audacity to charge a fee for a medical source statement, this judge will use it to discredit the opinions of the treating physician.

Awful adjudicator with a very poor knowledge of the Rulings and Regulations. His decisions are easy to appeal: they are so full of holes you could drive a Mack truck through them. My advice to you is if you are given a video hearing with this judge, OBJECT. Ask for an in-person hearing at your local ODAR because this man will do you no favors.

Judge has a "God complex". You sir are charged with administering the LAW. YOU do not hold a MEDICAL license. YOU have no right to discredit what a doctor or several doctors state is a real disability to the point where someone is disabled.When a medical team including the IME's state a person is disabled what right does this idiot have to say a client is not? He is a joke and a discredit to anyone who rightfully administers the law. He is not concerned with protecting and upholding the law. He is focused on denying claims (see this clowns track record).When a judge dismisses 49% of all claims halfway through the year (2014) it should be an alarm to the court system that he is corrupt and should be investigated. He is completely clueless on how to do his job and should be disbarred and tried for his dis-service to the American people.

He is focused on denying claims (see this clowns track record).When a judge dismisses 49% of all claims halfway through the year (2014) it should be an alarm to the court system that he is corrupt and should be investigated. He is completely clueless on how to do his job and should be disbarred and tried for his dis-service to the American people.

Here it is in a "nutshell"...this judge has a terrible approval rating....it is crystal clear to me that he does not listen to any witness testimony at all...he disregards all medical records, he disregards your lawyer testimony, he disregards his own disability doctors, he disregards all the claimants doctors and his own vocational expert...with that being said...how could anyone win a case that is brought before him?...it is clear to me that he already decided on a "denial" before the hearing started...In my humble opinion, his top priority is denying claims no matter what and that is SAD....so very sad that this is how our country and lawmakers treat people who have become medically disabled...the only witness he found credible was the insurance/disability doctor that looked at the records before the hearing (never examined me at all) and stated "that I am not disabled at all and can return to my previous job".....wow.....really? Funny how he listened to her testimony huh? Talk about a scam.....yup that's right....A SCAM

I have a hearing on Friday the 13th with this judge, I feel like I will not be approved because my disability is not obvious. Can I get some "pointers" or does anyone have any helpful suggestions for me? Thanks, A

Alj Guida, is a Horrible Judge Holding A 25% Approval Rating Only Proves He Is Protecting The Trust Fund That The Other Politicians Help Spend Any Way They Wish. Shame On You Sir For, Making So Many Peoples Lives Alot Harder Than They Should Be. Judgement Day Is GODS.

I had a hearing with him last month, I am reading the reviews wondering if it could be the same person. At the start he explained that I could postpone it to get a lawyer and asked if I received the letters that were sent me. He never interrupted me and let me explain when he asked me a question. I was nervous and had no idea what to expect so I'm sure I rambled when giving my answers. Secondly his office staff are the most professional government office I've ever dealt with. I had additional medical records to add after the hearing. They were extremely helpful in making sure they had the correct information for my provider's address. I had to leave a voice mail and they called me back without an hour. A friend looked up info on disability hearings for me and showed me this website. I want to say If he is your judge I would not be afraid based on the other reviews, he was calm and polite and seemed to make an effort to make sure he understood what I was trying to communicate. I don't know how my case will turn out, but when I saw the other reviews, I wanted to post my experience, so other people won't be afraid if they have him.

No one e has a positive comment about this judge, even past workers in office. These workers told me to withdraw my application and file a new one. Since there is no decision, they can use records prior to withdrawal. The states DDS approval is twice his percentage. I should have listened. He makes quick decisions, if you receive a notice within 2 weeks it is a denial. His mind is made up prior to hearing. The only records he reviews is the ones from their paid for doctors and vocational expert's first jobs you can perform. Most vocational experts magically find these jobs you can do even though they are not within your restrictions. He gives not weight to specialist in their field, especially ones you were referred to. New regulations allow such behaviors, but Appeals Council remands most of his denials, but you will have to wait around a year. Again once you see he is assigned your ALJ, withdraw and refile. His office's wait for a hearing has decreased drastically, some within 5 months. Another tactic I was told to avoid ODARS with low approval is get a mail box at a place like Mail Box Ect that have a physical address. Provide this address to SSA. Sign up for USPS informed delivery, once you see mail from SSA go pick it up.

I read all the comments fearing a denial given my young age. I prayed for a year or more that I would have my case seen by a judge who would offer compassion and understanding to my circumstances. I was surprised that when I dissociated in the first few minutes in front of the judge, even with my service dog with me tasking, I was so nervous and upset he was kind and offered if I wanted my support person to come into the hearing. He then explained he read my file and saw that I'd been through a criminal trial recently as a victim and not to worry, this was not nearly as formal. I was so unbelievably grateful he actually even read any my 1600 pg file as the judge in the criminal trial completely dismissed my Victim's Impact Statement & was devastated in our system walking into this hearing. Through all the tears I explained how I was completely okay until being assaulted a few years ago. My attorney really helped in asking questions to prompt where my daily struggles were and how it impacted my inability to work. The vocational expert suggested 3 positions that were very unrealistic for my circumstances. The judge seemed to acknowledge that and thus my attorney backed off at the end of the hearing & I was surprised that it was over and there was no rebuttal to the suggested jobs. As I got up to leave as I walked out the door the judge said "Take it Easy." It truly sounded sincere. I looked back at him and said "I truly wish I didn't have to, but thank you." This judge was an an answer to my prayers as I got word this week my case got a fully favorable decision. My next prayer is that in a few years, I continue to recover and someday can go back to work and then somehow thank this judge and tell him he was an answer to my prayers for God to provide when I needed it most.

This judge made prejudicial remarks about my doctors and according to 3 seperate attorneys, asked inapporpriate questions about my family ex fiance etc After a huge delay found with the one state doctor that would not allow my claim, contradicting many other doctors, surgeons and medical professionals I 100 percent believe this was not a fair hearing

WOW! Thank you for further ruining my life. I needed this help... I'm genuinely disabled and right when I'm ready to give up I find out you denied me. Why? I can't work, I don't even go to the corner store because of my conditions and you denied me any kind of security. Thank you for making the decision to really bury me. I hope this hangs over your soul for all eternity. This judge is so very wrong.

Judge: Hortensia Haaversen : we are grateful for your decision on my wife case , However we are in some distress over the office of disability in Buffalo NY and the way my wife was treated by employee who has cause her case to be pushed back another 90 days from last week as the employee shut her case down because my wife could not answer his questions due to her TBI. but the real reason is with our legal representative and their lack of contact and also giving out bad advise according to the office at 186 Exchanged st ,Buffalo NY . We are looking to review the labor cost from their office and to verify the real amount that is due for payment.

Don't let the approval rate fool you. She will call you in and ask you to amend the onset significantly. Bittersweet outcome.

Severe but not severe enough. She takes the advice of doctors that haven't even seen you so be prepared. She didn't even list the consulting doctor they sent me to as credible. I personally can't see how her approval rate is that high, must have been a bad morning for her. I am sure the four doctors that I have seen would love to see her not credible ruling. She must have flipped a coin. Don't be lured into a false sense of hope when she smiles back at you.

The comment sections doesn't allow me to tell the true story. She doesn't consider all the evidence. It's as if the decision was already made before even being questioned. Countless months of waiting for nothing. Being paralyzed and pissing yourself doesn't qualify for SSD. The denial states my age is too young. Didn't know there was an age limit on when a motor vehicle accident can or will happen. She is very unfair.

Don’t know if I’m approved yet. She listened to me and my lawyer, she asked questions and understood everything clearly.

As the last pople said judge langan is fair. If you have all the medical evidence to back you up and are honest he will most likely approve your case. I would say judge langan is the fairest of all other judges in the odar wilkes-barre office. He was a lawyer previously to becoming an alg, so he has a true interest in the people. And yes, I am a claimant who was in front of judge langan and he approved me.

And yes, I am a claimant who was in front of judge langan and he approved me.
I just went before the Judge on 3/21 and I have to say I thought he was pleasant and appeared to be understanding. I liked the way he proceeded through the hearing, and hope he will give me a favorable decision.

Langan me without giving any weight to my medicals. They did agree that I could no longer do my job and at the hearing could not find a job that I can do with the vocational representative. Its comes down to the fact that I am under 50 and married with 2 kids. Ive had a failed back surgery and needed a much more risky surgery for another part of my back. Ive been to many IME's and was found disabled by many physicians. Ive been out of work for over 3 years and have no funds left. When you look up the statistics the fact is that if your not a minority your chances of getting approved are slim. Theses judges think that its there money that they are giving away and its not. I paid alot into social security and should of been approved. I have had several other lawyers and a judge who presides over workmans comp cases look at the decision and all agree langan is wrong. Its my benefit, I'm disabled activate. This whole system is a joke I know people who didn't even have any surgery and were approved and are working part time at walmart stocking shelves. So many people take advantage they screwed it up for us. The whole hearing is a joke. You have the person who gets paid by social security making your decision behind closed doors. Its basically a crapshoot and in the meantime I homeless having to move back near my mom so she can help out. I hope you read this langan karmas a bitch. I will appeal this and take it to federal court.

Had back surgery in 2013, surgery failed, union sent me to all their IME's and found disabled and retired, given a disability pension and told to get social security and as soon as I get my award letter my pension woukd start. Was denied in the mail, and denied by Langan. My case seemed to go well, the judge went back and forth with the vocational representative and agreed I could not work any of the jobs that she thought U might be able to do. Then I get denied in the mail. Its total age discrimination and having a family doesnt help. What he did do was sentence my family and I to poverty. I can barely walk some days and I have multiple injuries and have been turned down by the lightest of jobs (once they see me or find out my injuries they realize that I would be a liabilty and unreliable. I had to leave my family and move back with my mom so my wife can find work (which is almost impossible in pa). Definitely unfair and discriminate against younger people. I will get it eventually and am going to appeal and take it to federal court. I even had one of my small pensions approved that comes out of maryland and to get thay I had to send my medicals to them and use their drs to evaluate them and those drs are with john Hopkins. Did not get a fair trial.

Haven't received a decision yet, but I appreciate the fact that judge Langan granted me to have my hearing not so far from my home, and understood how hard it is for me to travel. I feel he is very understanding.

I don't have a decision yet.. my hearing was just yesterday, but I can't thank this judge enough for granting me to have my hearing closer to home VS the couple hours drive. I believe he is very understanding, and caring towards the situations of who goes in front of him.

Judge Gerard Langan is more than fair in his cases !! Not because I won but because of his fairness. He listens with intent to your problems...and I believe he fully understands them. He is definitely in the right position !!!

This guy is a piece of crap. I have severe depression/anxiety/paranoia and he turned me down. Not to mention that i have been going to psychs since i was 21. I am almost 60 and had to retire from a good job because of this.It took this arshole 8 months to give me a rejection notice too.He outed me for being transgender also which wasn't necessary cause he already knew i was. I wish i could put a machine to his brain and give him all my problems then he would see how severe my problems are. Never mind my aunts grandkid get on disability for being bi-polar and then graduates from college and has over 500 friends on facebook.Then she has art shows to sell he ''works''.She is also in her early 30's!

I disagree with the last comment. I am in front of her quite regularly and think she is quick, to the point, and fair. Not an easy judge but definitely not unreasonable.

I didn't experience that, nor did see that in her. My experience was/is a compassionate ALJ who asked pertinent questions and took the time to listen. I sensed she was no nonsense, yet fair. She weighed my case on the evidence before her. My suggestion is, have yout matters in check meaning all I's dotted, all T's crossed before you go before her or any judge assuming you will win with limited information. I had an attorney with me which helped, I believe. I felt at ease with her and the fact that she was there to do her job, nothing more.

My experience with Judge Lash was a positive one. I had to remember that she was there to do her job. My lawyer presented my case she then presented the hypothetical scenarios to the vocational expert. She asked me very direct questions. I did my best to answer them all. How ever she rules I'm sure it will be fair and impartial. She has a tough job. I pray for a favorable decision.

Judge Lash told my attys paralegal she would give me "A very favorable decision if I took Nov. 2006 as my disability date." My paralegal never told me I would lose everything if I challanged her. My paralegal went back to Feb. 06, and Judge Lash denied me completely. Worked my whole life + paid taxes + then dismissed me out of hand.

I recently had a hearing. I don't the outcome yet, but judging ALJ Lash soley on the hearing, I would say she was great. Straight to the point and no nonsense. Of course I was nervous and I feel like I didn't say all that I needed to, but that was a slight on my part not hers because she definitely gave me an opportunity to tell my side.

Do NOT accept a video hearing from Judge JAMES LINEHAN! Repeat do NOT accept a video hearing from this judge! He does not pay attention. Be prepared to have the majority of what you say be turned around by him. He is age biased and biased against Mental Health claims. 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.

I have found Judge MacDougall to be fair and objective and to hold hearings where the claimant was treated with great respect and compassion. That is not to say he gives away the store, he doesn't but in the my opinion and that of others in my office he ususally gets it right- win or lose. I don't understand the comment above dated 7-27-12. Probably an unhappy claimant. Judge MacDougall is always fully conversant with the file at these hearings, and knows what's in each report. He is am impressive man in my opinion.

Judge: Bruce MacDougall I had Judge MacDougall for my hearing I thought he was a total gentleman. I was surprised of his results. His Notice of Decision was Unfavorable. It is unfortunate because I honestly am disabled based on the criteria stated on the social security disability website. I know the government has no money but It seems to me that the government has money for when they need it. I still give this Judge 5 stars because of the way he treated me at the hearing. That goes a long way in my eyes in regards to the respect that people in authority give to people such as Judge: Bruce MacDougall gave to me. In conclusion, in my opinion his decision was possibly made because of pressure he may get from his superiors. I also feel that it was probably really based on my age (under 50) not on all of the evidence that was provided. Unknown if I should appeal.

Judge, I am writing for a friend in Florida. Can you tell me why it has already been five months and this poor girl has no decision? I watched EMT's bring her back to life after a life threatening seizure. She can not be left unattended as she falls due to neuro issues and is becoming so depressed and withdrawn I dont even know if she will ever get back to herself again. I read the note above with the man living in a tent. Thats where she is headed. Is this seriously ethical? Your assistant told a US Congressman that a decision was made and would be mailed out last week and when her lawyer called to verify, she stated a decision was not made. This is uncalled for. What are the work hours being spent on??????

Do you ever believe what the claimants ever say? I know someone who is disabled and can't work and you said that her testimony was not credible. Yet you would probably approve a claim for some lazy person who just want to abuse the system. Or, maybe you're saving the government money for those illegal aliens who are getting amnesty from the President. What a waste of humanity. I would rate this judge with 0 stars.

Most insensitive and basically unfair judge i have ever read about. Ignored important info and did not consider all of the facts. I feel sorry for anyone that gets her as a judge. I won't even give her 1 star

This Judge is Misleading , and dishonest plays the game well and is hurtful in my opinion to society. If the system is truly broke, you might want to start with her in considering why this is. Integrity is missing, Cruelty is verified , A none independent thinker and irrational in her decision making. (poster child for +++) if you would like to witness Orwell 1984 go listen to a disembodied VE, over a phone while trying to keep your head up to stare at a TV to communicate with this Judge, That alone should tell you how much of a criminal everyone looks like in the eyes of our GOV. It is a Humiliating and repugnant experience to be dragged in front of a hearing disabled only to be Harmed with a denial and being called a liar by someone who expressed the cruelty , and carelessness of the beast system well. Pray for our Country.. I mean it, because praying for just the people is not enough.

I found this judge to be very fair and very polite. At my prior hearing the judge didn't even look at me. Judge Oleyar made eye contact constantly and was very considerate. I think you would be lucky to go in front of this ALJ.

Im just curious if anyone can post how long they waited for there decisions from the judges in this office? I mean how long did you have to wait from time of hearing to letter either approval or denial in the mail and please post if you were approved and how long and if you were denied how long? In rough time frames as to keep yourself anonymous?

Whoever said empathetic, I hope you are prepared. Total denial right before Christmas, My heart is broken, My life is in shambles. How can you go to work when you can barely get out of bed? What gives a judge the right to totally discount everything a Dr says? This has been the most heart wrenching experience of my entire life. It's all over, there is no recovering from this. The denial letter makes me sound like a liar and makes my very reputable Dr sound like a quack. I am embarrased, devastated and my future has never looked so bleak.

Ignored all medical evidence, but took the advice of a vocational expert who never even met me prior to the hearing. Did not take into consideration how meds affected me, OR that when you go for an interview most want to do a drug screen, so you have to tell them the meds you are on, when they see the cocktail you need to take, lets just say they are not beating your door in to give you a job. It's so defeating, when all you want to do is get back what you paid in to the system when you really need it. I was also told in the report that I am so functional I even take care of our family pet, the only problem with that statement is I have no family pet. How do you move on from this? I dont wish bad things on anyone but I truly hope that someday these judges who like to throw their authority around, have the opportunity to find themselves in a situation they wouldnt wish upon their worst enemy, and see how easy it is to just put your disability aside and go out and find and keep a job. How would they like to be told, you can't be a judge but you could be an usher at a movie theater? Demeaning and Degrading, Devastating and Disgusting.

Response to previous post....." I was also told in the report that I am so functional I even take care of our family pet, the only problem with that statement is I have no family pet." That must be a standard scam they all pull. I had Gregory Hamel. He said I can take care of my pets. I don't have any pets, I couldn't afford them. I live in another persons house who has pets they take care of.

Very sneaky Judge, does not bring up any issues or points at hearing so you cannot defend yourself. Acts like she really cares and then tears you to shreds in her denial, after the fact so that your attorney cannot address issues. Very sneaky and below board.

She was very very nice, and made me feel extremely comfortable at the hearing. She is not i Intimidating or rude in any way. She listens well and does show empathy. Unfortunately I was denied, but life does go on. ALL who were denied have my sympathy and I hope that things turn around for you. I have to hope that better things are out there for me, and that there is a way to make a living even with my disability. At any rate she is VERY thorough and very tough in her decision making. I agree with other posts that she can twist things around to fit the denial, but I think that is what they are trained to do.

I have to hope that better things are out there for me, and that there is a way to make a living even with my disability. At any rate she is VERY thorough and very tough in her decision making. I agree with other posts that she can twist things around to fit the denial, but I think that is what they are trained to do.
I had my hearing over the phone, she was very nice to me. Could hear me having a hard time breathing on the phone. Asked me if I always sound like that. Still waiting on my answer so feeling hopeful.

I had my hearing by phone. My car broke down that morning, so she was very nice to me. Still waiting to hear, since they did not have records from my lung doctor. She was very nice and explained everything to me very well though. It has been almost two months, so hope to hear soon.

To jessica vogel: Judge Michelle Stolls is very nice but just the fact that you drive ( which I GUARANTEE she made note of when you said your car broke down) will be looked negatively against you. This woman doesn't miss a trick and will use things such as this to deny you. I hope very much you win your case as I am sure you deserve it.

Ignored my medical records. Only cared about my 1-3 cigarettes a day while I was fishy trying to quit after 23 years. Told her about my issues and she didn't care. Then, she said I didn't appear in any pain at my hearing. All I did was move around because I was in so much pain. It must be nice to sit there with no medical problems and deny those who truly need it. I'm losing EVERYTHING! I'm sorry but I'd love her to be in my position and understand what I go thru for one day! NO STARS

Judge Stolls made me feel very comfortable. She made what I thought to be a very scary situation not scary at all. Her decision is fair and her demeanor is good.

I went in front of this judge on may 11th of this year 2012. I felt very intimidated by him from the minute i walked in the door. I felt he was rude and fake. I also felt it was inappropriate of him to say to me "so I hear you are in a new relationship" and "are you on the internet" and are you on facebook?" i felt very violated to say the least. i felt those questions were too personal. I also feel that he overlooked alot of aspects in my case. such as the fact that i failed my psychiatric examination. I feel that he did not give that enough consideration. I filed for my second appeal and i hope to NOT have him as a judge again.

I received my hearing date letter in the mail today. I am very hopeful. I probably should not have read these reviews because they are frightening. I will have judge Sweeda and I have read both good and bad reviews. He has one of the highest denial rates listed on this page however I feel if I am truthful and show him how my RA really affects my life that he will approve my case. I was born with this disease and always said I would never go on disability but that is not always was God has planned for us I guess. Good Luck to those of you going through the same things and I pray that Judge Sweeda truly hears me and is understanding. I am nervous but ready to speak my case and hope for the best.

I went in front of this judge on March of 2014. He came in with obvious bias about my disability from the beginning and nothing was going to change his mind. He focused on questions that had nothing to do with my disability. He was very rude, intimidating, and condescending. Many of the things he said in the hearing were incorrect, but I did not get a proper chance to defend them. He dismissed everything that I said, my doctors said, and even the vocational expert in his denial letter to me. There were so many false statements in the denial letter that I cannot even count them. He gave very limited weight to all of the people I mentioned above except for doctors on the Disability Determination Board who never even saw me. He even listed doctors in my denial letter saying they had seen me, but I never even heard of them. I was advised by my attorney that there was no use appealing because it would take over a year and probably just go back to him. Since his opinion was the only one that mattered in my case, even above my doctors, why would he ever change his mind. My attorney said there would have to be legal errors to even be considered for appeal, and that appeals rarely win. I was told it was better to file an entirely new claim after three years since my first claim so as not to wait a year to be denied an appeal, just to have to file again then anyway. My doctor even had to write a rather scathing letter to Judge Sweeda, as his comments about my doctor were so incorrect and liable. It was the most awful experience I have ever had. I am going to new attorneys because I do have a good case I have been told to have my closed file reopened for General Bias, among many other things including provable mistakes by my medical records and the hearing transcript itself. I just warn you to beware of these things if you get him as your judge. Good luck!

I went before judge sweeda about 2 months ago, he was asking questions that were not related to my case, and then choose to deny my claim based on the opinion of a doctor I have seen one time in stead of the doctor who has been treating me for 10 years. Strange man. I have filed an appeal.

I have been before Judge Sweda twice. He walked into the room and I’m positive he had already made his decision prior to my hearings. When he denied me the first time, I filed an appeal. My case then was reviews by a Judge in Elizabeth City and he said Sweda got it wrong! He said Judge Sweda should have granted me my disability. At that point that Federal Judge decided to send my case back in front of Judge Sweda so he could correct his decision. Well Swed didn’t reverse his decision! He went against the appealic Judge!! He called me a drug addict several times! During this time my father died from liver cancer. To honor my father by getting a small tattoo on my shoulder. Judge Sweda said if I could get a tattoo I could work! I broke down crying and he said that was an act! Judge Sweda is arrogant, rude, and a pompous ***! I’ve now been granted my disability by a Federal Judge! When I get my settlement and start receiving my benefits I want to tell Judgr Sweda in person to **** ** ************* ***!!!

I was already in front of this judge and my case has already been to the appeals counsel which they sent it back to him. The letter states that this judge will be in contact to ask for further medical evidence or he could just over turn his first decision. He did none of this he set a new hearing . This judge is holding me back from medical treatment that is a dire need. Even with my case being marked dire need this judge decided to postpone my hearing date instead of moving it up. Conflict of interest my hearing has been scheduled for months and weeks before now he has a conflict. This isn’t fair to me. I need surgery and physical therapy . He has made his decision and isn’t going to change is so why prolong it . I am homeless lost everything because of this judge just not right.

Had my hearing with Judge Sweeda yesterday, February 22, 2018. He was very professional and explained in detail the criteria of disability. He made sure that I understood everything. He had a vocational expert present. He went through the steps of determination for disability.

excellent judge, gave bench decision in one case and very fair in the other one as well. would love to work with her again. She had reviewed the case before sitting down that day and had her questions ready and then turned the case over for any additional questioning.

She's a ****. I figured I was going before a judge so I'd better dress up a little. She held it against me in her ruling. She ignored all medical data. She'll be very nice while you're there, but knife you in the back on your way out. She told me I'd have her decision in sixty days. I waited six months. I wouldn't spit on this woman if she were on fire. Doctors? Medical evidence? What more did she want? Horrible experience.

This "Judge" twisted every word I said. He dismissed all the docs my PCP gave him and used (out of context) one statement from another Dr to discredit my PCP. I was not allowed to bring in a witness, who I desperately needed. One of my main issues was a problem with my mental state. My wife is the one typing this message. I also believe we have a Title 7 issue as per the references to my "job". This hearing was in no way fair or just. This guy should be ashamed of himself and I will be filing a formal grievance.

What is wrong with you is it because , you must have bin born with a silver spoon In your mouth ? Never did a hard days work in your life . I know there are some good judges out their but you must have gottin your degree from a crack jack box ! When you say I can Lift and carry a 40 lb. bag I would like to know where I am carrying this bag do I have it strapped to my back carrying it all day half a day and where is going ? 4 months for an unfavorable decision is just wrong when you already made your mind up . i especially like dr . Zhou. From palmerton hospital who asked me to bend over didn't even take my coat off for the examation .it lasted 2min. 30 sec my wife who is a RN in the ICU kept the time . And to say I sat there comfortably for all most 2 hrs. at that hearing is just an outright lie . There must be surveillance in that court room chech it out! Dec.4 2013

I had my appeal hearing in Dec. 2015. I thought this experience was good with this judge , he gave me time to talk and explain my disability and was very nice to me. He is professional and clear in his questions. I so Hope I am approved, as you all know it takes some time for sure.

I was approved and the Judge also added SSI for me, I am so thankful and finally at ease. My condition will not improve and only continue to travel up and down my spine. SO at least I can pay some bills and try to make life better form me. Thank you Very Very much Your Honor, Judge Jarrod Tranguch.

I have been waiting over 3 years with appeals judge tranguch really didn't hear how little I can actually do in daily life. I'm 6'4 410 lbs not by choice but because I can't move between my back and my rebuilt hip at 8 years old which is so need of repair. I can barely move. Walking just 10 feet is terrible pain. I'm legally blind in my left eye which makes it hard to do most computer work. I'm typing this now thanks god the phone is spell checking what I'm typing. I can't see the screen hardly at all. Them on top of that I have back issues. And many mental disorders like ocd deep depression anxiety bi polar disorder. So judge if you ever read this please help me I haven't worked since 2010 not because I won't but I cant

Although I have not heard a decision from Judge Tranguch, I found him to be to be kind. He asked tough questions of my lawyer about earnings while I was filing for disability, which were crucial to keep my home and excruciating for me to do. He really took the time to understand my case. I had benefits and went back to work, lost my benefits and had to reapply. It took me three years to get to this level again. I believe the best you can do in hearing with any judge is to be honest and respectful.

I was initially denied and appealed and judge tranguch was who I was to appear before for my appeal hearing which by the way took 20 months from start of the disability process,the day before my hearing his assistant called me and told me the judge cancelled my hearing and I was granted disability based on the hundreds of pages of my medical history from 4 doctors I had seen, I had 2 neck surgeries and 1 back surgery all within 2 years of each other I have been working since I was 16 and I'm now 55 years old I returned to work after both neck surgery but the back surgery did not go well and now I'm in pain management this judge is very fair in my opinion thank you judge tranguch

I HATE THIS JUDGE! I was diagnosed with bipolar, anxiety, sever depression, have back problems which I had surgery on, am going deaf along with several other problems. I tried working for years, had to keep taking leave of absences because my symptoms got worse and worse. My Psychiatrist finally convinced me to apply for disability. It took 3 years only to be turned down by this ****! He gave "LITTLE" weight of the opinion of the Dr who has been treating me for 6 years now and has spent thousands of hours working with me and gave GREAT weight to the opinion of some Dr who has never met me! This Dr never once had a single conversation with me so how in the hell is he qualified to give ANY opinion on me? This judge claims that I have a social life because I am able to visit my parents! I can't watch the news or read the newspaper without some plot forming in my head and now I have to return to the work force where I will be forced to be around people who are definitely going to say the wrong thing and cause me to become paranoid again! Because I was TRYING to be a good person and be respectful to people that was also held against me. Because I wasn't hostile he sees me fit to go back to work! The vocational expert at the hearing said that with all of my limitations there were NO jobs I COULD perform! I am prescribed 14 medications a day, most of them I am supposed to take 2 times a day. I CAN'T function for HOURS after taking them! In order for me to go back to work I have to STOP taking these medications so I can even drive to work without getting into an accident! So I am bipolar (Type 1 which is the most severe type!) have major depression and also bad anxiety! And now I have to stop taking anti-psychotics medications, anti-anxiety meds, anti-depressant meds etc! WOW! I wonder what I am going to be like to deal with in the near future! The system is CORRUPT! I talked to a man about 2 months ago who told me his dad was approved for disability and got it pushed through because he knew a judge! CORRUPTION! Well this Dr who gave his opinion on me then should now give his opinion as to what I will do next since he thinks he knows me so well! These assholes don't care about people and what they are doing to their lives! They are being paid to help who they want and screw the rest of us!

I HATE THIS JUDGE! He is not fair at all! I was diagnosed 6 years ago with bipolar, major depression and anxiety. I have also had back and neck surgery and am going deaf. I tried working for the first 3 years and in that time my Psychiatrist had to take me out of work 5 times and put me on LOA because my symptoms got so bad! She finally convinced me to apply for disability. It took almost 3 years to get turned down! I was at home all that time, isolated and have a hard time even going to the grocery store but because I wasn't around people or stress my symptoms got fewer and he held that against me. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that if my symptoms were bad when I was working and got better by being home, I SHOULD be at home! I had to be admitted to the mental ward twice when I was working! I'm prescribed 14 medications a day! Anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds, etc. I CANNOT function when I take meds. In order for me to go to work and even drive there safely I CAN'T take my medications! The vocational expert at the hearing said that with all of my limitations there are NO jobs I CAN perform! But this ***** judge took the advice of some Dr who has NEVER talked to me over the opinion of a Dr that I have been treated by for 6 years! How is that right? The system is CORRUPT! I talked to a man about 2 months ago who told me his dad was approved for disability because he knew a judge! CORRUPTION! These ***** are getting paid to help their friends and screw the rest of us! Well if that Dr who never talked to me knows me well enough to give his opinion then I would like for him to tell this judge what MY NEXT MOVE WILL BE since he claims to know me so well!

I have waited since 2014, was denied at my first hearing by Michelle Wolf, but that was because my attorney was totally unprepared. I didn't appeal, I just started all over again and this time I went back to see a therapist. I'm so glad I did (even though I had to go through many past issues in my life) because my psychological evaluation really made the difference. My diagnosis is now PTSD and Bipolar II. Mind you, I also suffer from osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease, along with Benign Positional Vertigo and many other problems. But when I went in front of Judge Tranguch, I know he read my case, everything I am going through, along with my past hearing. The vocational expert also asked significant questions about what I can still do. After I explained all my issues, all my fears and anxieties, I know he listened and knew I was telling the truth. Judge Tranguch made the decision along with the vocational expert and I cried tears of happiness, because their decision does matter what happens to you. This time I was prepared, I didn't stop getting treatment and got a great attorney firm. I will be 60 in January, so the quality of my life will be a great deal better with my disability benefits.

I’m not gonna leave any negative comment on here. But I would like to express that these disability judges need to be more educated when it comes to chronic illness to name a few rheumatoid arthritis, Wegner’s Granulomatosis with Polyangitis, fibromyalgia and so many others. I was denied and it hasn’t been easy for me but we have to understand they are just doing their job. I will be mailing some letters to some congress people and all I ask is for disability judges to be more educated about chronic illnesses. Thank You.

I’m not gonna leave any negative comment on here. But I would like to express that these disability judges need to be more educated when it comes to chronic illness to name a few rheumatoid arthritis, Wegner’s Granulomatosis with Polyangitis, fibromyalgia and so many others. I was denied and it hasn’t been easy for me but we have to understand they are just doing their job. I will be mailing some letters to some congress people and all I ask is for disability judges to be more educated about chronic illnesses. Thank You.
Im scheduled to see him in a few months. I am not here to say anything bad. It is their job to "see through the bull. I am like most of you. I am in bad shape. I can only hope that this judge sees that I am in dire need. I can't hold a job without ruining it in some way. Too many sick days,Some get escorted by police to get to their car. Things like that. Anyway He might not have the highest cases passed, however not everyone is as bad as they think they are. I will let him decide how bad he thinks I am. Not much you can do really. And appeal it if you don't accept it, but leaving stupid comments is not going to help either. What if you go back in front of this judge is the process starts over? I will start over if needed because I need this as I cannot hold employment or be out in public ...believe me. There are other appeal processes and file again and go through it all over again. You want to prove to them right. Don't give up. I am on meds and thank god!! finally.... without them I am a monster hiding in Mr. Jekyll I personally cannot sit for two hours I will need to stand and bend and go to the bathroom. But make sure your attorney is straight with you and not filling your head with fake hopes. I have suffered and been on disability since I got out of the army in 2000. I got off because ex wife was going to divorce me if she didn't have more money and my son was lost after the end result anyway That tore me up and still is.. I was young and to full of pride so I got off. I tried and had almost 30 jobs since. It was the worst thing ever. I should have stayed on it. Two cases a day to pass aint bad though being you only have a few per day with the ALJ. And to the gentlemen that went to apply and bent over and carried 40 lbs. Look at it this way, so you can carry some weight. I might not be 40 pounds strong but maybe a job that lets you only pick up 10 lbs or look for a job that back pain is minimal. I have back surgeries , but backs can take you right out of life believe me. I refused all pain meds. My wife was addicted and I will suffer to ensure she don't come around them. Mental issues well I am screwed up with them. I can only hope he sees I am genuine and 100 percent sincere about my problems. My attorney is awesome but that aint no for sure deal either. Just piece of mind, and the leg work is nuts and worth having ,so thank them even if you lose. I cannot leave a rating yet. But it will be honest. The fact he is a judge deserves 2 stars, serious its not the life you or I wanted or we would be the judge being ridiculed.

Well I had my hearing Judge Jarrod tranguch this Tues. He was what I would call a genuine human being. He does take the time to go over your case I personally found him easy to talk to even though I was nervous as heck. I struggled for a year plus. Lost almost everything. And you know what . He is going to give me his honest discission. I may not like it or I might. I got at least a month to wait. I hope he sees that I am truly in need on the benefits I need the meds and without them....I'm me.. to many jobs, and I just can't seem to work with people. If I have too.... I'll start all over again. Better than catching a charge or scaring some people at work from my extremely aggravating aggressive outbursts. Yeah we may not like the answer but it is the answer. And it comes down to respect. Just respect it. I will even if I'm denied. Doesn't mean stop fighting for it. All in all a pretty fair man . And he asks good questions but I ramble..it might have screwed me ...pointer don't ramble..

Okay I just had my hearing Tuesday. I find him fair and rather upfront. I like it. Listen folks I don't know if I will have a favorable discission or not. All I can do is hope. I go through jobs like water and some folks disrespect me Not good right. well I think we have to learn to respect their discission reguardless. I It's their job. And if they feel it isn't right they rule against ya. My attorney is awesome and really help me relax with the stress end of it. I just hope Judge Tranguch sees that I am in desperately in need of this. Yeah I could work and make more money than SSDI. But things literally just do not work out. I'm scared I won't have a favorable response but I'm really messed up in the head and I will not stop fighting for it. I think he seen that I did try to work but over 20 jobs in 15 years well.... I'm not intitled to SSDI period. But I worked my butt off since a kid. Broke my back doing so...riuned my way of life because of bipolar...PTSD .I Love working but I hate people and back pain And stomach issues ..lucky to have a 1 week to one year job. I will let him decide as we all must do. It isn't up to us. So don't talk bad about any judge. It's kinda their job to make sure there is no jobs you can do. If you can they will tell ya. I'm afraid to work personally. Not my environment. But seriously...it's all about respect folks.

Judge April M. Wexler is a Judge who is definitely not aware of the fact that many people who are applying for disability are actual people who have serious pre existing and continued long term medical issues and medical problems. I believe she looks at the actual person instead of the combined medical evidence, which includes narratives MRI's, and x-rays provided by the Medical Doctors. Furthermore I believe that Judge Wexler is biased with many of her rulings and decisions. In my case her words to me directly were " If you can drive then you are not DISABLE period regardless of your medical conditions"

I sincerely feel bad for the other reviewer and hope that he/she has been approved or better yet, healed, I had a different experience. I am a 38 year old male with MRI's that show bad arthritis in multiple places, tile table was positive for severe orthostatic hypotension. BUT, the rest of my illness is an "invisible illness". I did not exaggerate anything, if anything I under-played my illness (stupid pride). Judge Wexler listened to everything I had to say and appeared attentive to my complex issues. I'm not yet sure if she ruled fully or partially favorable, I just received notice from my local SSA, not yet from ODAR. No matter what her decision, I believe she ruled fairly in my case at least. Now, I need to work on getting more tests and trying to find treatment that works so I can get OFF disability! I take off a star on the assumption that the previous commenter was indeed denied based SOLELY on ability to drive.

I'm a 42 which had me worried to begin with. I was quit pleased with Judge Wexler. She listen to what I had to say and treated me fairly. That's all that I ask. I believe she will make a fair ruling based on all the evidence.

Good decision on his part my daughter Melony Koppen has since died 4/7/2013 from disabling conditions that he said didn't exist only a month ago now I am burdened with her death and bills and burial expenses so thumbs up for our government and Timothy Wing for your expert and educated decision. https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/0h52/burielexpensesformelony?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fb_wall&utm_campaign=dashboard_overview&og_action=hug&fb_ref=856962

Eric, my condolences to you and your family. Some, if not all ALJ are so clueless. They all should examine their conscience, if they have one.

I am an attorney regularly appearing in front of ALJs in Wilkes Barre. Every Judge now serving in Wilkes Barre conducts an appropriate hearing. Judge Wing stands out because his demeanor is calm and straightforward. He gives claimants a true opportunity to be heard. Although he may not approve every case, you can be assured that he will grant you a fair hearing.

I had a hearing back on June 20, 2017 Judge Wing was very caring and listened. I am still waiting for my decision to be assigned to a writer but know I was deemed unemployable by the occupational specialist. Not sure how much longer this will all take....I applied back in April 2015 appealed the denial in October 2015. I don’t understand why it’s taking so long to be assigned to a decision writer!!! Not sure if it’s because I didn’t have an attorney to represent me or what the hold up is!!!

Being 208 days out from my hearing and 37 1/2 months from my death, I'd love to review King Timothy I. This man is a disgrace to the people who have earned the position to be called 'Your Honor'. I personally feel he isnt qualified to be a legal secretary. Not accountable to ANYONE. I've called both my federal Senators and my Rep. They are powerless! Supposedly he's the head ****** in charge. I wouldnt allow him to umpire a little league baseball game. I dont know how someone so unethical, and uncaring can sleep at night. Biggest mistake I ever ,ade in my life was to allow the corrupt *** SSA in my paycheck. Nohing but theives. He acts like he's giving out his own money, as charity.

My daughter is unable to walk almost at all, has severe hand tremors, post injury mental impairments, and the list goes on. She struggled every day trying to keep going with faith in the SSA system. She thought they cared about the people they were suppose to serve. But, come hearing day this amateur was about as put together as an intern on their first day, yet had the attitude of a king allowing peasants to beg for his favor. He barely asked any questions about her conditions just work history and confirmed if she saw doctor X or Y. She had many problems responding and as it seemed like he had zero patience as if we were holding him up from something he rushed through questions not even letting he elaborate on anything or even allowing her to answer completely. Finally it was brought to his attention that she was trying to elaborate he told her she'd have time to speak at the end. The end came in a flurry as he talked a mile a minute then as he attempted to end the hearing an attempt to remind him she haden't had her chance to speak he actually spoke OVER the comment and rushed out of the room. Weeks later he casts his sentencing from his throne and had the audacity to not give much weight to my daughters conditions or the specialists that treated her. Now we as a family have been trying to help my once optimistic now suicidal and depressed daughter try to survive. Not only did he sentence my daughter to Hell he completely destroyed her spirit and personality. This amateur doesn't deserve to call himself judge or human.

Finally it was brought to his attention that she was trying to elaborate he told her she'd have time to speak at the end. The end came in a flurry as he talked a mile a minute then as he attempted to end the hearing an attempt to remind him she haden't had her chance to speak he actually spoke OVER the comment and rushed out of the room. Weeks later he casts his sentencing from his throne and had the audacity to not give much weight to my daughters conditions or the specialists that treated her. Now we as a family have been trying to help my once optimistic now suicidal and depressed daughter try to survive. Not only did he sentence my daughter to Hell he completely destroyed her spirit and personality. This amateur doesn't deserve to call himself judge or human.
My daughter is unable to walk almost at all, has severe hand tremors, post injury mental impairments, and the list goes on. She struggled every day trying to keep going with faith in the SSA system. She thought they cared about the people they were suppose to serve. But, come hearing day this amateur was about as put together as an intern on their first day, yet had the attitude of a king allowing peasants to beg for his favor.

Irksome problem with her is that she schedules hearings close together, and then falls way behind over the course of the day. It's not unusual to have your hearing heard 2 hours late. If her decisions were good, it would be tolerable, but she denies many cases that should be awarded.

She just denied my case. Her decision will have me homeless within a few months. I am on my own, I have no wife or any kind of safety net to help pay the bills while I fight to get what essentially is my own money back so I can survive. I am a 52 yr old man that has been working since high school. I can't afford medical nor do I qualify for Medicaid because I have more than 250.00 in my bank account..Not much more... I dont have the money to seek proper medical attention and that is something being used against me in my case.. In her decision she stated my doctor says my condition doesn't require any medication. I guess the fact he prescribed a new medicine recently along with the meds he has been prescribing for the past 4 yrs doesn't count ...Judge Wolfe should be ashamed of herself. One consolation is that Karma is a powerful thing.

keep up the good work judge there are way to many people sucking on system To the person who took the time to post the above statement. Without knowing any facts or the people suffering because of ignorant underhanded wrong decisions some of these ALJ's make. For you to make a blanket statement like that shows what a vile disgusting person you must be. Karma really is a powerful thing.

Michelle Wolfe's decision to deny me my benefits is ludicrous and warrants an investigation. I have medical evidence from 4 doctors that I am indeed disabled. Wolfe's job is to oppress the poor and sick and make her numbers look good for her boss the Social Security Administration. A 62% denial rate from her unsound, unqualified medical decisions, reeks with corruption. Former lawyers for SSI were given robes and called judges. Their real job qualification is to lack a conscience. By the way, I am not a drunkard, drug addict, or former welfare participant. I worked hard all my life and made an honest living.

Because Michelle Wolfe IGNORES medical evidence I have been penniless for 4 years, and now have no medical coverage because my 66 year old husband lost his job and my health insurance. As an UNPAID disabled American I can not afford Obama Care, and slip through the cracks and do not qualify for medicaid. Does Michelle Wolfe go to work with a tumor in her leg? Does she have 2 plates in her neck and require more surgery? Does she have psoriatic arthritis and an allergy to anti-inflammatories? Does she live with chronic pain and wear a fentanyl patch? Does she have medical coverage, and can she get the medical attention she needs? A very calloused individual would ignore scientific proof and facts just to keep her denial numbers high. An unfair, unjust person. Another corrupt judge in Luzerne County. How does she sleep at night?

Michelle wolf should be investigated to see if she gets paid to deny real people with real disabilities. I had my hearing with her mind you i am already 100 percent total and permanent form the military. She refused to look at all the evidence. She even dismissed social security's own doctors who evaluated me and the voc rehab lady who said i could do no work. I feel since i get va compensation she was biased against me in the first place in hearing for 2 hours she did not ask much questions. How can a judge not take into consideration their own evaluators? plus 900 pages of medical notes. someone should question why she has a 17% percent approval rate the lowest rating for ssa judges in the entire country. does she think everyone is trying to screw the system? we are all not lying burdens on society. we have real medical and psychological problems. The docs says low tress and no interaction with people so how can i work? docs say must be able to take breaks when needed and may miss up to 4 days of work a week even voc rehab lady said part time sedentary work copy machine operator really? claims jobs open for this in pa 425 where i checked unemployment and Google jobs none in this job description. She refused any rebuttal and request for information from my attorneys.... her words were i dont have too give it to you....she picked what she wanted out of my records and twisted it around and claimed i had not gone to docs in 3 years but i have my records to prove otherwise....have to file appeal to council and file complaint against her with ssa.

A claimant with end stage cancer was denied benefits by Judge Wolfe. A blood clot in the cancerous organ came loose and caused a stroke, killing the claimant. The records were in order for the Judge to find the claimant disabled at step 3 or step 5. She chose otherwise. The case is now on appeal. In a year or so, perhaps never, the case will be remanded. One thing is certain, a deserving claimant was denied benefits. Remember Judge Wolfe every time you hear about the "billion dollar judges" awarding benefits and fraudulentt disability claims. As with most things, there are two sides to every story. Since this side of the story is not as glamorous, it doesn't get told.

As others have said, she cherry-picks information and twists it. She also completely disregarded everything my current doctor said (and all the records she had sent), and even implied some really hurtful and completely untrue things in an underhanded, snide way in her findings report. She basically called me a liar, when everything I said was the truth! A ********, corrupt *********. I hope she **** a ******** *****.

I WAS considering using this lawyer for my own but have read this page and have seen she is NOTHING what I consider to be a human, may she get everything coming to her, I know MANY veterans who get screwed by judges EXACTLY like this "judge". May she get EXACTLY what she is handing out, misery.

Why hasn't Michelle Wolf been red flagged for her blatantly unjust denial rates? Her pay scale climbs enormously while veterans, stage four cancer patients, and countless other legitamite claims are denied by the stroke of her pen. A growing number of victims of the conscience severed judges who deny claims is growing. Rubber stamped denials are a pathetic reality in the Luzerne County Swamp. Granted, there are false claims presented, but a viral number of denied justifiable claims should be thoroughly investigated. After all, it's you, the American disabled funds.

My husband sees Judge Wolfe Tuesday. He and I are not at all worried with a wrongful decision, even if in his favor or not. I feel like all these negative comments are from bitter people who really did not have a solid case. My husband is 56 y/o and is truly disabled. He has worked and paid taxes since he was 16 y/o. Can all these people who posted nasty comments on here say this??? I am going to go with NO. With multiple knee surgeries and a replacement and more than several hand surgeries and other medical issues I am sure the Judge will be more than fair AGAIN even in his favor or not. I would love for anyone to try and work with the pubic especially the ones who feel they are entitled to whatever they can get their hands on and live off the system for their whole life. SO TIRED of paying MY taxes and seeing that happen!

With multiple knee surgeries and a replacement and more than several hand surgeries and other medical issues I am sure the Judge will be more than fair AGAIN even in his favor or not. I would love for anyone to try and work with the pubic especially the ones who feel they are entitled to whatever they can get their hands on and live off the system for their whole life. SO TIRED of paying MY taxes and seeing that happen!
My husband sees Judge Wolfe Tuesday. He and I are not at all worried with a wrongful decision, even if in his favor or not. I feel like all these negative comments are from bitter people who really did not have a solid case. My husband is 56 y/o and is truly disabled. He has worked and paid taxes since he was 16 y/o.

I have my hearing in 2 weeks. I have been waiting since 2014. My attorney said he is not hopeful because she is the toughest so I decided to Google her. After reading all these comments I realize I have no hope if she turns down multiple Dr's statements. There is nothing left for me.

Judge Wolfe was very patient and fair. I appreciated that she always showed me respect when I appeared before her. I wish we had more judges like her.

I felt the need to post a review after reading the unfair and mischaracterized reviews of Judge Wolfe. I have appeared before her many times as an attorney representing people applying for disability benefits. She has ruled for my clients and against my clients so I feel like I am in a position to evaluate her consistency and fairness. What people reading her reviews need to realize is that she is always extremely well-prepared for hearings and expects the same of the attorneys and claimants who appear before her. She asks tough questions, notices details about claimant's behavior and testimony and reviews physician and expert reports carefully. She knows the guidelines that one must meet to qualify for disability. I understand the frustration of people who do not receive benefits (and have felt this frustration on behalf of some of my clients) but I have always felt that she is very fair and consistent. She is dedicated to being a fair judge.

After reading a lot of negative reports, seeing her percentages of dismissals and denials, and even my attorney saying she can be miserable, I was surprised. I walked in, took my hat off after I made it to my chair with my cane, listened to her, didn't interrupt, and showed her respect I'd show any person. She did the same, made eye contact when she wasn't studying or reading from my case notes, and if I didn't understand what she meant, she took the time to explain. She was thorough, very thorough. My primary care doctor only looked at my MRIs once, when I made him, by bringing in a laptop and showing him my disc herniation. She looked through over 10 MRI discs. Read through thousands of reports spanning 10+ years. Asked me questions from the start, established my timeline, and clarified things. She was sociable, I even made a few small jokes to which she laughed at. I don't recommend it, but it's my personality so it just came out. I was in a lot of pain, but she didn't drag out the process, I think she kind of knew what she was leaning towards from my medical reports, and then wanted to hear it from me. She looks for discrepancies, which is her job. Once she got the information she needed to find her conclusion, she made her ruling. No matter the outcome, I feel I was treated with respect, courtesy, and a serious sense of someone trying to learn exactly what has happened to me. If my doctors treated me like she did, I feel I would be doing a hell of a lot better. Understand that demeanor is everything to a judge, walking in with pajamas on and your hat backwards shows disrespect. It may be painful to dress properly, but show any judge proper respect and it will go a long way. I was really pleased with her assessment and time she put into looking at my case. As I said, my doctors don't even do this. I respect few, but she has earned my respect from sheer professionalism and diligence.

I went before Judge Wolfe this morning. I had no legal representation, and she did give me the option of postponing the hearing until October of this year. I waived my right to representation, for a couple of reasons. I did not want to drag the process on any further, and I cannot afford an attorney. After reading the above posts about this judge, I’m sorry that some of the folks felt she was unfair. My hearing was scheduled for 11:00am and I was taken in at 10:30. She allowed me to enter notes from two specialists I am currently seeing, as well as a list of medication I am taking. I thought she was very professional and fair; as was the vocational expert, Ms. Doherty. If people thought Judge Wolfe wasn’t fair, maybe it was because she said things people did not like or did not want to hear.

She’s pleasant enough in hearings. As someone pointed out, knows the record very well. However, she will use every tool in her box to deny a claim. She makes inferences from the records that have no basis in reality. She draws conclusions that aren’t supported by facts.

Got my unfavourable decision letter today and I'm so filled with mix emotions. I suffer from axiety, depression, and alot of post matic stress, though I am a mother of 3 young school aged children, I guess to SSD these symptoms do not meet their standards, one because I've never committed myself to a hospital, letters from family, friends, and psychiatrist was not good enough , letter said weighed very little . What gets me is I have always worked, it's not that I decided I'm gonna quite my job and live off SS was never my plan, but when you suffer from these issues that are uncontrollable at times it's hard to be in society alot. One thing that was mentioned because I was asked is if I used social media ? Who doesn't? That was used against me. I have social anxiety, panic attacks and it effects me even though I'm being treated for it. One thing that was mentioned was I continue to say I have systoms but still refill my prescriptions on a regular basis? Am I not supposed too? There was a note in there I appeared sloppy. I'm confused, but yet I was alert and made eye contact, was I not supposed to at my hearing? I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I don't party, yet I see so many people get approved for addictions. Well mental health is a disease as well, which many abuse their medicine. I'm trying to do right by seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist and take my medication as directed and I'm punished for it. The only thing I guess I can do is appeal it and hope someone sees me through a different pair of eyes and compassion. She apparently did not. I felt she was nice and professional, good luck to anyone who may get her for a judge in my opinion she is not very compassionate.

I am an attorney who represents a fair number of disability claimants. If you are coming to this site to find out more about an administrative law judge, I want to share some things with you so that you have some perspective while reading all these comments. Your case is unique. While there are common case types and situations that are regularly before the ALJs, the system works at not being an assembly line and looking at all the facts and circumstances. My opinion is that the majority of the time the system eventually works for most claimants. There is still a significant minority of cases where it does not. I get contacted by a lot of people who have lost their case at the ALJ level. They feel like a lot of people on this board felt after being denied. I review their written decision and talk to them in detail. The majority of the time the ALJ made the right decision. So what went wrong? It's usually one or more of the following things. (1) Well meaning doctors, government/nonprofit social workers and other well meaning individuals encouraged them to apply without fully understanding the disability programs (2) they went into the hearing not knowing or understanding both the strengths and potential weaknesses of their case (3) they didn't see the right type of doctors, get all the tests needed, and/or try all the possible treatment options out there. When I talk to these individuals the most common thing I here is "Well nobody told me that. I wish I knew that back then." So is the judge the reason you lost? Maybe. Maybe not.. Every case is different. Did you lose for other reasons instead or other reasons as well? Probably.

I had my hearing in November it's now March and still no decision. I was warned she will deny me bc of my age. I have inflammatory arthritis, duyphrens contracture, tendonitis in most of my hands and arms, severe CTS, diabetes, hypo thyroid, gout, depression and neuropathy. It's been Since January 2018 trying to get disability. If she's just gonna deny it deny it so I can get to the next appeal and hopefully a more compassionate judge.
