In 2021 alone, the government recovered over $1.6 billion in settlements and judgments from whistleblower claims filed under the False Claims Act. 


We represent whistleblowers who have worked for pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical distributors, pharmacies, or physician practices and who may have become aware of fraudulent schemes.


Common pharmaceutical fraud cases we handle include:


  • Kickbacks


  • False price reporting to Medicare and Medicaid


  • Marketing drugs for unapproved uses


* We don’t handle claims that an individual has been treated unfairly—for example, receiving a medical bill that you think is excessive.

FAQ

  • Will I be protected as a pharmaceutical fraud whistleblower?

    Yes. Whistleblowers are protected by laws and regulations.


    In False Claims Act cases, your identity typically will be kept confidential for years and won’t be disclosed until the case is unsealed by the court. 


    It is also against the law for companies to retaliate against an employee for reporting wrongdoing. 


    Some whistleblowers worry that exposing fraud could jeopardize their jobs or careers. Fortunately, the law provides strong protections against retaliation by employers and future employers. 


    These protections make it illegal to terminate, demote, harass, or otherwise punish whistleblowers. 

  • What type of reward will I receive?

    Your financial reward for a successful case will vary by the type of claim and size of the fraud. 


    A whistleblower can receive 15-30% of any judgment in a False Claims Act case, and some rewards have been in the tens of millions of dollars.  

  • How do I pay for my lawyers?

    You pay us nothing unless you receive a whistleblower reward.


    We work on what’s called a contingency fee basis. That means we as a law firm are only compensated if you receive a reward. Our fee is a percentage of your reward.  


    You’ll never get a monthly bill from us. What you’ll get are experienced and zealous advocates fighting fraud by your side.

  • Do I have a viable claim?

    It’s important to seek legal counsel from a skilled and experienced whistleblower lawyer to help determine if you have a viable claim. 


    Whistleblower claims have unusual and detailed legal requirements that vary by the type of claim. This can be a complex determination, and one that we guide clients through during an initial free and confidential consultation. 


    It’s important to note that in all cases you will need to have evidence of fraud that is specific and can be corroborated through investigation.

  • Why should I report fraud?

    If you are aware of fraud by a pharmaceutical company, filing a False Claims Act case gives you the opportunity to bring the fraud to the attention of the government, which may force the company to comply with the law and protect others who may be impacted by the fraud. 


    Filing a whistleblower case also may entitle you to receive a monetary reward.


    Every year, tens of billions of taxpayer dollars are lost due to corporate fraud. Whistleblowers play a critical role in uncovering these frauds. 


    It takes courage to speak up. Lawmakers recognize this and have created both powerful financial incentives to encourage whistleblowers to come forward and strong protections for those whistleblowers.
