An Interesting Development Here at A.I.M.

My son and business partner here, Scott M. Priz, graduated from John Marshall Law School, magna cum laude, this past Sunday. Now, he still has to pass the Illinois bar exam, which will take a few months. And then a few months to get the results back.

But by November, A.I.M. should have a full fledged attorney in house, Which may well prove very useful, as the Illinois Department of Insurance increasingly tries to push Workers Comp premium disputes over into legal hearings at the department.

My suspicion is that this development will be a bit of a game-changer in our work. We shall see.

Sounds as if the folks who work hard to undermine the Workers Comp insurance system that protects workers and employers alike are getting away with their illegal schemes, to a considerable extent. A lot of states have cut their budgets and resources for policing these abuses, but that looks to have been a terrible mistake.
