How Judge White decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

What persuades

In the reviewed benefits decision, the court found reversible error because the administrative law judge neither incorporated a supported moderate limitation concerning attendance and safety rules nor gave legally sufficient reasons for rejecting it; the vocational evidence made the omission potentially outcome-determinative.

“therefore, finds the ALJ erred in not including Dr. Durr’s opinion”

Procedural preferences

The reviewed recommendation evaluated the net amount for each minor, compared similar recoveries, reviewed the fee percentage, and required federally insured blocked interest-bearing accounts before recommending approval.

“$10,000 for each minor with net recoveries of $7,500 for each is fair and reasonable.”
