I have experience in the Insurance Industry and Workers’ Compensation since 1995. I started off in the Insurance Industry in underwriting. From 1999 until 2006 I was employed in the area of Worker’s Compensation claims management for various Insurance Companies and Third Party Administrators. I adjusted Workers Compensation claims from 1999 until 2002. From 2002 until 2006 I managed an Insurance Program that included hundreds of millions of dollars in Worker’s Compensation Claims including catastrophic losses and complex litigation involving Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability. I have developed a unique perspective into the management of a Worker’s Compensation claim. Since being admitted to the Illinois Bar in 2006, my practice is exclusive in representing the injured worker.PUBLICATIONS1. “Petitioner’s non-compliance with Vocation Rehabilitation insufficient to deny compensation,” ISBA Worker’s Compensation Law Newsletter, December, 2006.2. “Respondents Must Meet Their Obligations in Vocational Rehabilitation,” ISBA Worker’s Compensation Law Newsletter, March 2007.3. “The elusiveness of the Intoxication defense,” ISBA Worker’s Compensation Law Newsletter, June 2007.4. “A rare reversal & remand of a manifest weight issue under the Odd-Lot permanent disability theory,” ISBA Worker’s Compensation Law Newsletter, June 2007.5. “The Commission Giveth and the Appellate Court Taketh,” ISBA Worker’s Compensation Law Newsletter, June 2008.PRESENTATIONS2011 Judicial Training on Updated Case Law to Illinois Arbitrators and CommissionersPROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONSAdvisory Board Member - Illinois State Worker's Compensation Program
