Whistleblower Representation

Serve your country, earn a proper reward

Whistleblowers play a vital role in our democracy by exposing illegal conduct that might otherwise go unnoticed. Our government relies on tips from citizens to build cases against bad actors – permitting whistleblowers the opportunity to seek, through their attorneys, substantial rewards for sharing what they know.

To encourage people to share their information about fraud and illegal conduct, Congress and several states allow whistleblowers to retain a share of what the government recovers on the basis of the whistleblower’s tip. Financial awards for being the first to disclose information about fraud, waste, or abuse targeting the government can be substantial – between 10% and 35% of the government’s recovery.

Blowing the whistle on bad actors requires courage and know-how. It also involves specific legal procedures and risk, so if you are thinking about speaking up, seek assistance from qualified and experienced legal counsel. DiCello Levitt assists whistleblowers through every step of the complex disclosure process, including:

• Assessing and investigating your evidence
• Gathering and organizing supporting evidence
• Analyzing the optimal legal framework for your whistleblower information
• Assembling a compelling narrative and whistleblower complaint
• Presenting your complaint to government agencies
• Planning and executing litigation
• Securing recovery for the government at trial or by settlement, and
• Obtaining your share of the recovery

Our team represents whistleblowers in numerous industries under a variety of statutory regimes, including the federal False Claims Act (FCA), state and local false claims acts, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the SEC and CFTC whistleblower programs, the Internal Revenue Service whistleblower program, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

We distinguish ourselves from other whistleblower advocacy firms due to our expansive subject matter expertise across industries and regulatory regimes. Notably, our lawyers bring a wealth of knowledge from their experience as prosecutors at the Department of Justice and other government agencies, as well as their prior work in private practice.
