JUST ASK FOR SOMEONE DIFFERENT!!

I had the displeasure of being on the phone with this person, and she did not let me answer any of the questions she was asking me, and kept iterating that I was trying to make her the enemy when I never in fact, said anything about making anybody a enemy, she insisted that I needed to get my act tog...ether When I was trying my best to answer her questions. If I could rate in the negatives I would give her -10

IDES ALJ Review

Worst experience with Lisa Ochal IDES lawyer. When trying to explain my case and the facts she told me “ I need to get my act together”. She complained on how she had other cases to handle then mind and began to yell at me for trying to answer her questions. She also yelled at the employer which no j...udge should talk to people in a condescending manner. She continued my case and throughout the whole experience continued to say “ I don’t care about your discharge if it was retaliatory or not”. I never even brought that up. I never once brought up anything retaliatory but tried to answer her questions to the best of my abilities. No person should be allowed to to talk to people in the way she did.

IDES Appeals Judge

I learned a long time ago it doesn't matter who a person is how old they are how much money they make or what position they hold in life no one has the right to demean belittle disrespect you or treat you in a cruel and unprofessional manner. Horrible person. IDES needs to hire someone who is more p...rofessional.

Rude, disrespectful and incompetent

Rude, disrespectful and incompetent Talks as if she is very busy. Shows no concern for the claimant's feelings. Unfit to be a judge. IDES should not seek this lady's services. She shows no concern and lacks respect
