Whistleblower Cases

We represent individuals who “blow the whistle” on frauds against federal, state, or local governments. The whistleblower may be entitled to collect a percentage of the money the government recovers from those who planned or initiated the fraud.

Examples of fraud against the government include:

• seeking payment for services not performed or goods not supplied;
• seeking payment for services performed or goods provided under a fraudulently induced contract;
• falsely certifying compliance with a government contract; and
• making a false statement to avoid paying money owed.

Those who rip off the government are liable under federal and state laws for, among other things, three times the amount of the fraud, civil penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs the whistleblower incurs.

These cases are first brought to the United States Attorney or the New York Attorney General.

We are AV rated, which means our work and ethics are of the highest quality as determined by a peer review of judges and lawyers. We won a Client Distinction Award from Martindale-Hubbell, which recognizes outstanding communication ability, responsiveness, quality of service, and “value for the money.”

Representative services include:

• counseling individuals in whistleblower cases, including how to best present the case to government representatives;
• prosecuting whistleblower cases for individuals; and
• negotiating settlements.
