Our firm represents federal whistleblowers nationwide. With a team that includes several former senior U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors, we are well-versed in the federal government’s enforcement priorities and preferences, and we are intimately familiar with the procedures that current and former employees, citizen journalists, and other individuals must follow to secure whistleblower protections and establish their eligibility for whistleblower awards.
If you have a client (or a prospective client) who needs a referral to a federal whistleblower lawyer, we invite you to contact us to learn more about our practice. We are more than happy to discuss our experience, our approach to representing prospective whistleblowers, or anything else you would like to know before making a referral.
Federal Whistleblower Cases We Handle

- Bribery and corruption
- Consumer protection violations
- Corporate fraud
- Cryptocurrency and digital asset fraud
- Daycare fraud under Medicaid
- Environmental crimes

We represent whistleblowers who need to come forward to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and all other federal agencies that maintain active whistleblower programs. We represent whistleblowers who need to file qui tam lawsuits under the federal False Claims Act as well. In all cases, we help prospective whistleblowers understand what they need to do in order to come forward, and we are fully transparent about what they can expect if they do so.
Our Process When Representing Prospective Whistleblowers
When representing prospective whistleblowers, our process involves:
1. In-Depth Initial Consultations with Experienced Members of Our Team
Every engagement begins with an in-depth initial consultation with experienced members of our federal whistleblower team. Whenever possible, we pair prospective whistleblowers with attorneys who have specific experience with their type of whistleblower case.
2. Advice Regarding Timing, Risk, and Other Pertinent Considerations
Our attorneys advise prospective whistleblowers regarding timing considerations and other important aspects of making an informed and timely decision about coming forward. For those who may be implicated in the wrongdoing they are prepared to report, we provide specific advice regarding the “culpable whistleblower” process as well.
3. Guidance as Prospective Whistleblowers Decide Whether to Come Forward
While we help prospective whistleblowers make informed and timely decisions, we never pressure them to blow the whistle. We work with prospective whistleblowers to help them feel confident about their next steps—whatever those next steps might be.
4. Proactive Communication with the Relevant Federal Agency(ies)
For those who decide to come forward, we proactively communicate with the relevant federal agency(ies) on their behalf. We do this to ensure that our clients will qualify for protected whistleblower status and to assess the government’s appetite for pursuing their allegations.
5. Direct Representation From Filing Through Issuance of a Whistleblower Reward
During the whistleblower process itself, we provide direct representation every step of the way. This begins with preparing and filing our clients’ whistleblower complaints, and it ends with negotiating our clients’ whistleblower rewards when their cases are successful.
