I would definitely talk to another lawyer. Try to convey what a dick the 1st lawyer was without sounding like you hate lawyers.
The whole process is a joke. I'm just sitting back waiting for my 2nd denial so I can wait some more to see a judge. SSA completely ignored the evaluation and DX report of THEIR psychologist when they turned me down the 1st time. I don't expect much better from them the 2nd time. All you can do is keep fighting these committees of thugs who earn $50,000-150,000/yr for telling people with disabilities they're not f**** up enough to justify $8,000/yr to cover the most basic needs. Just the thought of the taxes I paid, over 15 years of work, being used to pay these cock suckers makes me want to vomit.
I still haven't seen an SSA psych for anything. It was a possibility but since the judge decided I was simply lying about everything, it was apparently taken off the table.
I can appeal to the next level, and I will because if I don't I will lose the benefits I have, which will not be a good thing for my mental health. I am not sure how long that will stretch it out. But I would rather fight this BS.

Apparently you've come across someone in a position of power who's an absolute moron, I sincerely hope you get this in your appeal. You should change your attorney imo.
Also, would you mind explaining a bit more about your situation to me? I am interested to hear, although I am from the UK so I don't know American ins and outs.
I can't explain it better right now. I can try later or tomorrow, but right now I'm too scattered and trying not to focus on the whole thing.

I would recommend he get testing for brain damage.
Or something. He also decided that I couldn't have ADHD because I was able to do a digit span test and remember three out of four words for five minutes. Those tests are not even considered viable for testing ADHD.
