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.

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.
