In Illinois, Arbitrators are appointed by the Governor and then must be confirmed by the Illinois Senate.  Recently, Governor JB Pritzker announced the reappointment of the following Arbitrators:

  • Joseph Amarilio
  • Crystal Caison
  • Paul Cellini
  • Ana Vazquez Diaz
  • Gerald Granada
  • Jessica Hegarty
  • Adam Hinrichs
  • Jeffrey Huebsch
  • Nina Mariano
  • Maureen Pulia

The Arbitrators 3-year terms will expire in 2027.  In addition to the reappointments, Governor Pritzker also appointed two new Arbitrators:

  • Daniel Swanson
  • Luana O. Montoya

Both Mr. Swanson and Ms. Montoya have past experience in the practice of workers’ compensation law.  Wiedner & McAuliffe congratulates both those reappointed and newly appointed as Arbitrators, and look forward to continuing to represent our clients before them at the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.
