They actually said that they had to raise it a couple of years ago to pay for their legal fees. Their legal fees are high because their system and their administrative rules are pretty unwieldy and unreasonable and they have the attorney present for any decisions they need to make regarding applications for licensure. The attorney isn't motivated to resolve anything in a reasonable fashion either and has no problem creating extra hoops to justify more hearings and more delays in licensure. I had to get an LPC license so that I could work while I went through the process which ended up taking about 18 months. Some fixes were made after I went through this, but they still have a long way to go and a few changes were in the wrong direction such as dropping the National Register program.
