CPAN's General Counsel, George T. Sinas has been honored with several distinguished awards for his work in the area of auto no-fault.

 2013 George was selected by his peer as the Lawyer of the Year. George has wisely guided CPAN’s efforts to make sure that the legitimate concerns of motor vehicle accidents victims and their providers are heard as our legislators contemplate auto no-fault reform.  Moreover, he continues to come up with unique strategies and ideas that are making a real impact in the auto no-fault reform debate.
 
On the legal front, George has spent countless hours writing, reviewing and revising very important amicus briefs CPAN has filed in numerous important auto no-fault cases pending before the Michigan Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court.  His legal expertise has resulted in CPAN filing very provocative amicus briefs that have helped significantly influence and shape how Michigan Appellate Courts decide the most important auto no-fault cases. 
 
Moreover, George has recently led a team of highly skilled lawyers in pursuing a lawsuit filed on behalf of CPAN against the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA) to obtain important financial information under the Freedom of Information Act.  In a very significant decision released on December 26, 2012, the Ingham County Circuit Court ruled in favor of CPAN and found that the MCCA was obligated to disclose important financial information under the Freedom of Information Act. The MCCA is now appealing the ruling from the Ingham County Circuit Court. CPAN will turn to George to determine the best way to uphold the victorious result obtained in the Circuit Court.  Ultimately, this case is critically important to making sure that our legislators have all the information available to make the best decisions regarding whether or not to fundamentally reform Michigan’s Auto No-Fault Law. 
 
In sum, George has been using his years of experience and expertise as an attorney to provide precious guidance to our organization during a time when the virtues of Michigan’s Auto No-Fault Systems are in greatest jeopardy.  George is doing this work because he deeply believes that despite the controversies surrounding Michigan’s Auto No-Fault System, the comprehensive coverage it provides for the care, recovery and rehabilitation of motor vehicle accidents victims is too important to lose.  In this regard, George is doing

 what every lawyer hopes to be able to do at some point in his or her career – make a difference for something he or she truly believes in.  There is no question George Sinas is a true Leader in the Law in Michigan.
