False Claims / Whistleblower Actions Attorney in New York, NY

False Claims / Whistleblower Actions Overview

John M. Lambros advises and represents New York City residents who have a reasonable belief that fraud for financial gain has been committed against the United States. Dedicated to protecting the interests of citizens who take up the responsibility to protect the U.S. Treasury and prevent fraud in the capital markets, The Law Office of John M. Lambros represents private individuals who are whistleblowers in Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
 
The False Claims Act allows people with knowledge of fraud, perpetrated to improperly receive and spend taxpayer money, to file suit on behalf of themselves and the federal government. Private individuals who bring False Claims Act suits are known as whistleblowers. As incentive for citizens to defend their own tax dollars, the law may grant those plaintiffs who sue to protect government interests a portion of the penalty imposed (a privilege referred to as qui tam) if the suit is successful.

False Claims Act suits can include instances of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, inappropriate pharmaceutical marketing practices, government contractor fraud, or fraud against federal student loan programs by unscrupulous “schools,” who take government loan money and provide little or no services to students.  In addition, The Law Office of John M. Lambros takes cases in which there is misrepresentation in federally mandated accounting and reporting by publicly traded companies (also known as violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).

Whistleblowers who inform on their employers have additional concerns about workplace retaliation. Mr. Lambros applies his knowledge of both federal Fair Claims Act and state law anti-retaliation provisions to obtain compensation for clients who have suffered adverse employment consequences as a result of filing claims of fraud in their workplace.

First and foremost, potential whistleblowers must have reasonable belief of fraud or false representation. Contact the New York City Law Office of John M. Lambros at 212-430-6474 for an initial consultation on the elements of your prospective claim.
