PQA attorney Tom Mulvihill was honored on November 11, 2011 by the Society of Investigators of Greater Newark (“SIGN”). The group gave Mulvihill a Special Recognition Award for his work on behalf of a SIGN officer, who was served with a subpoena by a defendant in a pending insurance fraud lawsuit seeking information that related to an ongoing criminal investigation by the New Jersey Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor. Mulvihill successfully moved for a protective order quashing this subpoena, as well as a similar subpoena served on the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), another PQA client.
