Whistleblower & Qui Tam Lawyers - Whistleblower Attorneys

Common Types of Fraud Under the False Claims Act

core/heading

There are a growing number of federal, state and local laws – including the <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/3729">False Claims Act</a>– designed to encourage people with knowledge of fraud against the government to come forward. These <a href="https://www.taf.org/false-claims-act">whistleblower laws</a> often provide a financial reward and a level of protection to those who do. A whistleblower law firm can help whistleblowers make use of these laws to stop fraud, maximize whistleblowers' rewards for coming forward, and protect whistleblowers throughout the process.
