2. Morseman v. Astrue, 571 F.Supp.2d 390, 136 Soc.Sec.Rep.Serv. 65, Western District of New York, July 22, 2008.
The Federal Court Western District of New York remanded for payment of benefits without need for a new hearing. The Court found that the ALJ failed to apply the appropriate legal standards, improperly discounted claimant’s testimony, improperly substituted his own judgment regarding medical issues, and failed to follow the Second Circuit's treating physician rule. The court found these "arguments to be meritorious on each of these accounts." Jaya Shurtliff argued the case and wrote the brief.

| Customer Testimonials |
"When I was injured on the job, I felt as if the rug was pulled out from under me. I have two teenage daughters and they depend on me for their support. I thought, 'Now what happens to us?'
"Worker's comp gave me a nurse who went with me to appointments. When I was scheduled for an independent medical exam, a friend at church said I should contact a lawyer. He said I was too trusting and should not go in front of the worker's compensation board without a lawyer. He gave me Olinsky & Shurtliff's phone number. They told me the nurse was not looking out for my best interests.
"Olinsky & Shurtliff is a smaller law firm so I got a lot of personal attention. They walked me through the entire process, including going in front of the board. When I had a problem with the hospital, Maureen took care of it. They were wonderful. They really cared about me. They are very, very experienced. And no question was too small, no problem was too big.
"If I were not Olinsky & Shurtliff's client, I would not be as far along as I am. They are amazing at what they do. They were my guardian angel and followed me through the whole process. I highly recommend them."Susette H. - Syracuse, NY
