I want to thank you for your help with expert testimony in the Morson v. Oppenheimer matter. As you can see, FINRA securities arbitration is neither expeditious nor cost effective. Although I could not be in the room when you testified, all reports were that your testimony was extremely helpful, and I want to thank you personally for being available in such short notice.

Jim's thoughtful leadership on issues that are of critical interest to state legislators and the insurance industry is authoritative, insightful and well-done. His work has synthesized major concerns with the market conduct surveillance system. After a result of his research, NCOIL continues to develop model legislation to significantly change what regulators do to monitor insurer practices and institute remedial action. Jim continues to be a strong proponent for improving and strengthening state insurance regulation.
