State and Local Whistleblower Claims

What is a Whistleblower?

“Whistleblower” is simply the common term for someone who alerts the authorities about the illegal activities of others. This term can be used in many different contexts, from the schoolyard to the workplace, to fraud against the government.

If you have seen illegal activities, you might have a whistleblower case. Although many people in this position might not want to be the ones who “tell on” the other party, there are many good reasons to do so:

  • If your employer is committing illegal activity, whistleblowing could help you avoid liability for your part in the company activities and it might be the only way to ensure your rights are not violated by the illegal activity.
  • If you have witnessed illegal fraud against the government, you could benefit from the Federal False Claims Act and similar laws in California that provide whistleblowers with a percentage of the money recovered in false claims litigation.

I have been working with Marlin & Saltzman on my case for quite some time, and have worked closely with Jody Rosen.  She has always kept me informed on where we are on all things and what I need to do or what to expect.  A great deal of pressure has been taken off of my hands and handled by a firm that, in my opinion, has gone above and beyond taking good care of their clients!!!  I want to thank Marlin & Saltzman for all that they have helped me with.  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this firm to anyone who is in need of legal representation. Thanks again Marlin & Saltzman, and may 2017 be a Happy New Year to all!
