Practice Areas
False Claims Act Violations / Qui Tam Actions
The False Claims Act (FCA) was enacted in 1863 during the height of the Civil War to combat the abuse of public funds by unscrupulous suppliers of material for the war effort. The FCA allows the federal government to recover treble damages plus penalties of $5,500 to $11,000 per violation from any person or entity that knowingly submits false claims for payment to the federal government.
IRS Whistleblower Program
The U.S. Government loses hundreds of billions of dollars each year to tax fraud. To help recover some of these funds, the IRS established the IRS Whistleblower Program. Through this Program, the IRS Whistleblower Office pays money to people who blow the whistle on persons who fail to pay the taxes that they owe. If the IRS uses information provided by the whistleblower, it can award the whistleblower up to 30 percent of the additional taxes, penalties, and other amounts it collects.
SEC/CFTC Whistleblower Program
The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 is the U.S. financial regulatory law that created whistleblower reward programs at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted in order to reform the U.S. financial system following the financial crisis of 2008. Whistleblowers who provide information to the SEC or CTFC that leads to monetary sanctions exceeding $1 million are entitled to rewards of 10-30 % of the amount collected by the Government.
