Whistleblower Protection

Our nation has always depended on individual citizens having the courage to do what’s right.  Under the federal False Claims Act, there is now greater protection for those reporting fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Becoming a whistleblower is seldom an easy decision. It takes courage. You may have discovered fraudulent activity at your company or a business you deal with, something that hurts you, your family, the taxpayers or our country. The public’s healthcare may be at risk, or the safety of fellow citizens, or of our soldiers.

Whistleblowers who report fraud risk possible attacks on their character or workplace retaliation. It takes stamina, a deep sense of right and wrong and strong legal support. Beyond knowing you’ve done the right thing, there are also rewards for recovery of taxpayer funds. The government has paid billions to whistleblowers who help stop such fraud.

Before proceeding, you should fully understand the risks and the rewards. You should know how the whistleblower (qui tam) laws work, how you should prepare, and about the experiences of other whistleblowers. This website is intended to help in that process.

If you think you are ready to take the next step, contact us with your story. We can help you find out if you have a false claims case, determine what your next steps are and how best to protect yourself.  However, please be aware there are a few areas where we do not represent whistleblower plaintiffs. Specifically, we do not handle claims against schools or colleges or organizations that provide services to educational institutions.

For more than 25 years, our firm has represented some of the country’s largest news media companies as they investigated corruption and fraud. With more than 125 attorneys, we have the resources and expertise for these often very complicated cases.

And we are committed to seeking justice for whistleblowers and the American taxpayer.
