Haigler sworn in as law judge for region

Abilene Reporter News: Local: "After 12 years of waiting to become a federal administrative law judge, Abilene lawyer Dave Haigler finally saw his dream come true Friday when he was sworn in as a judge for the Dallas region.

''He (Haigler) has the temperament and independence to be a good judge,'' District Judge Thomas Wheeler said after swearing in Haigler at the downtown federal courthouse. ''He is experienced in that area - I think he's going to be a great judge.''


In his new position as a federal administrative law judge in Dallas, Haigler will review cases dealing with disability and Social Security. His first day of work will be May 15.

''There are a lot of hurting people out there,'' he said ''This is an opportunity to hear their story and see who is legit and who's not,'' Haigler said."
