Qui Tam, False Claims, and Whistleblower Violations
Sigman & Sigman, P.A., Attorneys at Law

Sigman & Sigman, P.A. has experience representing individuals in 'Qui Tam' False Claims Act cases,  in which clients have information that their employer or any person or company is committing or has committed fraud against the United States government.  On most occasions, the fraud or false claims is/are related to the fraudulent billing of government health care institutions or the Defense Department.  A person who files a qui tam case, claiming that a company is or has been defrauding the government via false claims is called a "Relator".  If successful in the case, the Relator may receive a share of the monies recovered by the government in the case.  These cases are very complex and require specialized handling, secrecy and skill. 

Laws protect from employment retaliation those employees who 'blow the whistle' on fraud and false claims.

The Florida Whistleblower Acts (separate laws for private sector and public sector employees) provide

protection against retaliation to employees who 'blow the whistle' in relation to the employer's violations

of law or regulation.  An example is where the employer tells their employees to dump hazardous waste

in the public waterway, in violation of law, instead of legal disposal methods.  The employee needs

legal guidance on how to handle these matters at work to protect their legal rights when they oppose

such employer practices.
