BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Zumba

When Amanda Motto is not representing Illinois and Iowa insurance companies, employers and self-insured businesses in workers compensation defense cases, it’s Zumba time for the attorney and exercise studio owner, the Dispatch-Argus newspaper in Davenport, Iowa, reported Monday. 

Ms. Motto’s studio was featured in a newspaper article, hailing the multitasking career women for her work, motherhood, and, a few nights a week, leading the heart-pumping sessions of jumping jacks, salsa, squats and more at her studio QC Studio Z LLC, which she co-owns with her sister, Sara Pearson, and friend, Missi Slankard.

An attorney at Hopkins & Huebner P.C.'s Quad Cities office, she said the exercise — and helping others lose weight — fits in.

"I have always taken pleasure in reading, writing and solving problems. Being an attorney combines those skills, and I enjoy being able to utilize all of them while helping my clients achieve the best possible results," Ms. Motto told a reporter. "It is incredibly fulfilling…. Things are pretty hectic. However, I am extremely lucky to work for an employer that is so family friendly, to have two business co-owners that jump in at any and every opportunity to help me juggle everything, and two amazing parents who help me day in and day out with my boys.”
