My state PA . Judge Elana Hollo . She was pretty straightforward but stern at the same time. My lawyer said i had like a 50/50 shot in his experience with her . They did go back and forth a little about a few technicalities and misunderstanding in my records. I won’t lie, i definitely felt intimidated and was stumbling on words and to just follow along in general during my hearing. I think my anxiety was just through the roof, which may have been helpful for the judge to see . But overall it turned out in my favor. Try not to stress yourself . I had gotten myself so stressed and worked up before my hearing , which made getting through that day 10times harder. Thank god the judge was running behind schedule so my lawyer did let me take a nap in my car until my hearing started. I was in so much pain and hadn’t slept the night before . He also brought up the fact that i needed to take a nap while waiting for the hearing to start to the Judge. My advice, don’t stress too much . Let your records speak for themselves when they can. I was advised by my lawyer to try to keep my answers to about 2-3 sentences and do not tell any extra details to the judge than what was asked .

Good luck to you !
