I am so sorry you were not better represented. I hope you get a "fully favorable" decision despite your attorney's apparent inexperience.
My hearing is week after next. I sure hope my attorney does a better job.
Did you get to speak with your attorney AFTER the hearing? What did he have to say for himself?
I certainly can understand how your nerves are shot. How much interaction did you have with the attorney prior to the hearing? How often did you speak or meet?
I have only met with my attorney twice. The first time when I enlisted his services and a second time to deliver MORE and most recent medical records for him to submit to SSDI.
Please keep us posted. Wishing you a speedy response and a favorable one.

I spoke to her afterwards and she said that she never gives an opinion because she doesn't want anyone to come back to her later if it went the other way. She didn't talk long but she had another client going in to see the same judge after me. She just said to me I feel bad for her, she has to follow you.
I met her about 3 or 4 times before the hearing, she seemed good to me. very confident with me. It wasn't until she got in front of the judge she was blundering.
I did read somewhere that if a judge only asks 1 hypothetical question and the VE says that there are no jobs it usually ends in a favorable decision.
I guess it is a waiting game now.
My nerves are shot because I am just out of money now. My bills are piling up. I have 1 piece of jewelry left that my grandmother gave me when I was a kid. It is a gold chain with a gold cross. I am holding on to it until the last minute. If this doesn't go through in time I will have to sell it just to put a gift under the tree for my kids.
