Disrespectful, Cruel, and Incompetent

I never would have expected for any judge like Lisa to be allowed to play God over people’s livelihoods. She was upright cruel and lacked tact. I was mind blown when she yelled at me for not answering yes or no. But then proceeded to question when I would just answer simply with yes or no. She interr...ogated me like I did a horrendous crime when I’m just a struggling single mother who’s a student and was laid off from work. I hope if she ever sees these reviews that the one thing she does is resign. Take it from a fellow professional, burn out is real and sometimes your time is up and you need to know when to move out the way for others who are also passionate to take over.

Very Rude and Disrespectful Judge

This was one of the most disrespectful judges I have ever came across. This judge yelled at me multiple times telling me i need to stop lying and told me she would cut the interview off if I said one more word. I felt like I wasn’t able to explain my side of the story. She isn’t fair. I felt mistreat...ed, and disrespected. What I was going through was tough and she made it even worse. She needs to not be a judge and people cases should not be put in the hands of her.

Nasty lady

She was very rude to me during what was supposed to be an important appeal hearing. I was cut off multiple times and felt very belittled. She got very sassy with me and kept talking at me, not to me but at me. It was not a very pleasant experience sad to say. This is a serious issue and I needed genu...ine help.

IDES lawyer

No stars actually. I just had the extreme displeasure of talking to this very unprofessional lawyer over the phone. Sadly, she is one of the attorneys IDES has chosen to consult on unemployment cases. After giving her preliminary information I gave her information that I thought she should know abo...ut my case. She then preceded to yell over the phone saying "she is not a mind-reader" and "why was I telling her information she did not ask for!" She proceeded to then threaten my sister who overheard her yelling saying that she was eavesdropping on a private conversation. She then told me she was unwilling to help me and closing my case. To top it all off she hung up on me!!!! If you want to be treated horribly and talked down to from an overpaid, unprofessional so-called lawyer, Lisa is the one for you!
