Whistleblowing
Did you know that the government will reward you for exposing fraud? Fraud is costly for both taxpayers and shareholders of businesses. Whistleblowing is an important tool for the government in its efforts to put an end to fraud. If you can provide information to the government about any fraud directed at the government (Medicare, Medicaid, or contracts), at a company’s shareholders (financial reporting), or at banks and other lending institutions, the government may provide you with a percentage of its recovery. Your information must enable the government to successfully prosecute a civil or a criminal case against the party that committed the fraud.
Exposing fraud can be very intimidating and stressful for people, and it can take many years to obtain any recovery. This is where the Tinkler Law Firm can help. Over the years, we have worked with whistleblowers, providing them with the necessary tools and information, and helping them approach the government in exposing the fraud. If you think that you have information about a company’s fraudulent practices, please contact us. We are able to evaluate whether the information in your possession should be presented to the government and to help you along the path to obtaining a share of the government’s recovery.
