Qui Tam “Whistleblower” Lawsuits – Getting Taxpayers’ Money Back

Q: How do I begin a “qui tam” claim?
A: Contact us at 916-924-3100. We can set up an appointment to discuss your situation, and then we will research whether or not the alleged conduct does, in fact, constitute an attempt to defraud the Federal or State Governments.

If so, we will prepare the claim and submit a sealed evidence file to the appropriate court. The U.S. or California Attorney General must be given a minimum of 60 days to review the submitted information. If the Attorney General finds that the “qui tam” claim is valid and should be pursued, the Government will then take over the case.

If the Government does not take over the case, then the relator has the right to continue the case on his or her own.
