The statistics as to how many cases each judge will approve and deny is now available on the internet. And with listServs and other electronic fora to share information, the representatives for disabled claimants are able to share notes and find out which judges are not able to treat people fairly. While most Social Security judges Doug Landau has appeared before are wonderfully prepared, civil and fair, there are a few “bad apples” who are known to be ill-suited for their important judicial role. While Herndon Social Security Lawyer Doug Landau understands that some lawyers were abusing the system by “forum shopping” in order to file cases before more favorable judges, not identifying the decision maker in a disabled worker’s all important lifetime benefits case is simply cowardly.

Everyone at ABRAMS LANDAU believes that ALJs should be identified BEFORE the Hearing, and that secrecy in this case has nothing to do with security and everything to do with hiding problem judges that need to be re-assigned, re-trained or simply “RIF’d”.
