Whistleblower cases have gotten a lot of press in the last several years, most notably a $70 million settlement reached in a whistleblower case against several major banks and a $7 million settlement involving privacy concerns at Twitter/ X. These numbers are staggering, and show just how seriously the U.S. government and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) take fraud. You don’t have to have witnessed a multi-million dollar fraud scheme to file a whistleblower fraud case, though. Our Portland, OR whistleblower lawyer can help you understand your legal options under the False Claims Act and guide you through the reporting process.

Whistleblower Lawyer Portland, OR

Do you have suspicions of fraud at your workplace? Defrauding the government is a serious crime, and federal law enforcement takes it seriously. Governmental fraud and waste take many forms and can occur in many different types of industries. If your employer does business with a government, such as a contractor, or if it submits claims to a governmental agency for reimbursement, like a healthcare provider or nursing home that accepts Medicare and Medicaid, then you may be able to report fraud as a whistleblower, following the protocols of the federal False Claims Act (FCA). Under the FCA, whistleblowers reporting fraud are protected from retaliation by their employers and allowed to file the case anonymously.

Our Portland whistle-blower lawyer can evaluate the evidence you bring to them, or, if you simply have strong suspicions of fraud, can advise you on how to gather more evidence from your workplace. We help you file a lawsuit on behalf of the government, called a qui tam lawsuit, against the person or entity committing the fraud.

If the government determines that fraud occurred, it investigates and seeks recovery of the defrauded funds and often damages as well. You, as the whistleblower, may be entitled to a percentage (up to 30%) of the money the government recovers. As skilled whistleblower legal advocates, we help maximize your payout by contributing original evidence to the government and creating a strong argument demonstrating that your efforts contributed to its recovery.
