Whistleblower/Qui Tam

New York Whistleblower and Qui Tam Attorneys

Knowledgeable and Skilled Qui Tam Lawyers.

Most companies behave well and act ethically. However, some choose to break the law by filing fraudulent tax, Medicare or Medicaid documents with either the Federal or New York state governments. These fraudulent filings are illegal and employees are often best positioned to observe and report these violations.

"Qui tam" is a Latin term with a simple definition: it describes an action that private individuals can bring on behalf of the Federal or New York state government against an individual or organization for fraud. In other words, if you know that the company you work for is engaged in fraud against the government, you can take action. If you bring a successful qui tam suit, you will receive a sizeable award plus compensation for your attorneys fees.

In addition, Federal and New York state laws offer protections to employee "whistleblowers." The McFadin Law Group is experienced with these quit tam whistleblower actions and can provide competent legal services and representation.

Experienced Whistleblower Lawyers.

Whistleblowers can and should report any illegal activities perpetrated by their employers. Common violations include Medicare and Medicaid fraud, defense contractor fraud, tax fraud and illegal business practices in the construction and health care industries, including hospitals and nursing homes. Whistleblower actions have also increased with the enactment of new business practice standards by the Sarbanes Oxley Act and qui tam legislation.

Employees are often concerned about whether to report their employer's violations. Many fear the possible actions of an angry employer. However, whistleblowers are soundly protected from retaliatory measures by Federal and New York state law. If you have reported an employer violation and have experienced retaliation, including a bad review, a poor work environment, the withholding of a raise or termination of employment, we can help you.
