Qui Tam Whistleblower Law and Fraud
Purposely over billing the federal government for services rendered -- or never provided at all -- is a crime. In order to provide an incentive -- and protection -- for people aware of fraudulent billing activity, the False Claims Act was passed by Congress shortly after the Civil War and has been amended periodically since. According to the "qui tam" provision of the False Claims Act, a private individual can bring a lawsuit on behalf of the federal government against employers guilty of defrauding the United States government. If a case is successful, qui tam whistleblowers are entitled to receive anywhere from 15% to 30% of any money recovered as a result of their action. At the law office of Robert Klingler, our lawyers represent whistleblowers in their interaction with federal officials and government agencies investigating fraudulent activity under the False Claims Act.

Qui Tam Whistleblower Cases
The law office of Robert Klingler advises and represents qui tam whistleblowers in regard to the following:
Determining the Merits of Your Case
The federal government doesn't always agree to go forward with a qui tam whistleblower case. In general, those cases the federal government believes it is likely to win it will support; those it does not, it chooses not to be a part of. Determining whether or not you have a good case will depend on what evidence you can provide initially. Since most qui tam whistleblower cases involve fraud, financial documentation, emails, invoices, and other specific kinds of evidence exposing fraudulent activity is important. Our lawyers can evaluate the evidence involved and accompany you to any meetings with federal investigators in order to determine the merits of your case.
