I worked at the Department of Workforce Development and knew and respected him for his extensive knowledge of Unemployment Insurance Law. We chatted often and he frequently increased my understanding and appreciation of complex litigation and the exemplary role of Administrative Law Judges in providing fair and informed decisions. He was a real Master and I enjoyed learning from him when he had time to share his knowledge and experience. BF.
