Advice on
Qui Tam & Whistleblowing

You have discovered fraud at work. Maybe you’ve already spoken out or maybe you’re trying to decide. If you do nothing, you may be complicit; if you speak up, you may be fired. There is a way out.

The Statute

What exactly
is Qui Tam?

The Federal False Claims Act, known as the “qui tam” statute, enables an individual to bring a case on behalf of the government. The lawsuit is filed in secret while the government investigates.

Filed Under Seal

Your identity stays confidential while the government investigates.

Contingency Fee

No fees unless you win — I cover litigation costs upfront.

{{ homeMult }} Backpay

Damages multiplier available for retaliation — double lost wages and future pay.

Retaliation

Fired for
doing right?

Half of my whistleblower cases started life as an employment-law claim – typically, the client is distressed by dishonesty in the workplace and reports it to a superior. Contrary to expectations, the good guy is fired.

01

Analysis of the Claims and Evidence

Before anything is filed, we dig into the underlying fraud – reviewing documents, timelines and witnesses to build a case.

02

Filing of the Complaint in Federal Court

The complaint is filed under seal in federal court, formally putting the government on notice of the fraud without alerting the defendant.

03

The Government Investigates

Federal investigators review the evidence, often for months or years, building their own case alongside the whistleblower’s.

04

The Government Decides Whether to Proceed

If the government intervenes it takes the lead in prosecuting the case; if it declines, the whistleblower can still pursue the claim independently.
