Legal Guidance for Reporting Fraud
At the Law Offices of Peter Katz, we recognize whistleblowers’ critical role in exposing fraud and ensuring the integrity of our financial and governmental systems. Whether you are considering coming forward or have already discovered fraud, we are here to provide you with expert guidance and legal protection throughout the process.
Understanding Whistleblower Rights
Whistleblowing is a courageous act, and it’s vital to understand both your rights and responsibilities when reporting fraud. Under federal laws like the False Claims Act, whistleblowers can file lawsuits against individuals or companies defrauding the government. These cases can involve healthcare fraud, government contracting fraud, tax evasion, etc.
As a whistleblower, you may be entitled to a financial reward if your information leads to a successful recovery of funds. This economic incentive is meant to encourage individuals with knowledge of fraud to step forward. Whistleblowers are entitled to protection against retaliation from their employers. In cases of wrongful termination or harassment, our firm will take immediate action to protect your job and career.
