“I hired Edward to consult on an audit case involving an NCCI classification dispute with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. Edward conducted an onsite visit to our client, prepared an excellent report and appeared to offer testimony before BWC. He was extremely professional and gave compelling testimony that the Bureau could not refute. I would recommend Ed Priz for any employer needing expert analysis of its NCCI classification.” --April 24, 2009 recommendation on LinkedIn, by attorney Shane Dawson.
