Lawyer thought it went well- he thought hus did well answering the questions and even at one point patted his leg after one question. Judge asked lot of questions. Our atty hardly spoke but that was because the Judge was asking my husband lot of questions about his work, his surgeries, his pain level, his daily activities, etc. Voc Specialist had 3 jobs, but in the end when Judge asked if he could do them, she said no. Judge then replied, No, I don't think he can either. Judge asked husband who he was rooting for in the basketball tournament, etc. They talked about the colleges attended etc. Husband said the Voc specialist gal was a sweetheart. Judge also said that both dr's reports had similiar statements regarding his limitations. Guess that is good sign??

Lawyer said though, he has had really good Judges and felt great about a case, only to have it denied. Ughhh. So it's so hard to tell.

Any thoughts from anyone on if it is thumbs up or down? Is it good sign that voc spec and Judge both said he couldn't do any of the jobs?
