We will not make this determination by e-mail communication. The telephone numbers and addresses for our offices are listed on this page. We reserve the right to decline any representation.

By accepting these terms, you are confirming that you have read and understood this important notice.

The False Claims Act provides that whistleblowers, or relators, be rewarded with a percentage of the amount actually recovered by the government as a result of the lawsuit. The specific amount of the reward depends on many factors, such as the amount of assistance the whistleblower and his/her attorneys provided during the investigation/litigation.

Under the False Claims Act, the whistleblower’s share ranges from:

15-25% when the government intervenes
25-30% when the case goes forward without the government

In either situation, the case can be resolved through a settlement or through a full courtroom trial.
