Raleigh Qui Tam Attorney: Whistleblower Protection Cases

When an employee witnesses or has knowledge of a past or present fraud committed against the federal government by his or her employer, that person not only becomes a 'whistleblower' if they bring this fraud to light, but a qui tam action can also be brought against the violating employer. The offending employer's conduct often involves misusing government funds that have been appropriated to them through contracts to perform services or even money given to them through a stimulus package.

At The Richards Law Firm PC, we believe in helping pursue justice and protect North Carolina employees who bring these injustices out into the open. Contact us today to learn more about whistleblower protection and how to successfully pursue a qui tam action.

In these current tough economic times, where the government is definitely struggling with enormous debt issues, companies that take advantage of your tax dollars should be severely punished. A qui tam action can achieve this result.

Qui Tam Actions Take Skill and Strategic Investigation

Our experienced Raleigh Qui Tam attorney, Kimberly Richards, can evaluate your allegations to see if they meet the requirements of federal and state whistleblower and qui tam statutes. If your case does have merit, we will use our firm's full resources to pursue your case and stand behind you.

We handle cases involving:

It is also important to remember that the justice system is here to promote this kind of good behavior and acting out of conscience can result in you being awarded up to 60 percent of the damages that may be handed down in the case. The remaining portion of the award will go to the government entity that was defrauded. If you have been wrongfully terminated or retaliated against for speaking up and exposing the truth, we are here to hold your employer responsible for this illegal behavior.
