Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Ann Huntley honored for her anti-fraud efforts

Huntington Beach, CA, May4, 2006 - Llorente SIU, a leading private-sector insurance fraud investigation firm, has presented its first annual "Prosecutor of the Year Award." Members of the Insurance Fraud Unit turned out for the ceremony to watch Deputy District Attorney Ann Huntley receive recognition for going above and beyond the call of duty in her anti-fraud efforts.

"The Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney believes that the prevention of worker's compensation insurance fraud will reduce the payment of false claims and will produce a proportional reduction in costs to employers," states the department's official website. Llorente SIU has established a cooperative working relationship with Deputy DA Huntley that reflects their common objective to expose and reduce insurance fraud. Huntley filed charges in multiple insurance fraud cases in 2005.
