Government Fraud Attorneys

Fraud on the government takes many forms.  Anytime a government contractor submits a false claim to federal, state, or local governments, a fraud is committed and it may be actionable under one of several whistleblower laws.  If you or someone you know is aware of government fraud and are considering “blowing the whistle”, you should speak with a skilled whistleblower attorney at EY right away. At EY, our qui tam and whistleblower attorneys represent whistleblowers nationwide.

Most of the time, government fraud takes place when a business or individual deliberately submits false or deceptive claims for payment to the  government. Some examples of government fraud include:

• Healthcare fraud, including overbilling, miscoding and improperly billing for medical services or medical supplies;
• Pharmaceutical sales and marketing practices in violation of FDA regulations;
• Medicare/Medicaid fraud;
• Department of Defense contracts;
• Public works contracts; and
• Tax fraud

Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers have assisted the federal, state, and local governments in recovering billions of dollars for taxpayers.  In fact, if you win your whistleblower case, you may, depending on the theory of recovery, receive between fifteen to thirty percent of the civil penalties recovered by the government as a result of your allegations. In order to assure success, whistleblowers must retain experienced attorneys and, in the case of claims brought under qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, your whistleblower complaint must (by law) be put on a sealed docket during which time, government investigators will investigate your allegations.  It is critical that the qui tam procedures be followed or else whistleblowers may forfeit their right to a reward in the event of a recovery.  As such, it is imperative that you retain an experienced and knowledgeable whistleblower attorney.
