Chester Whistleblower Attorneys

Whistleblower protections are fundamental safeguards designed to encourage individuals to report misconduct, fraud, and illegal activities within organizations. These provisions ensure that those courageous enough to come forward with vital information are not subject to retaliation, thereby upholding the principles of transparency and integrity. At Miller Shah LLP, we support whistleblowers through every step of their legal journey. Our Chester whistleblower attorneys offer quality guidance and representation to citizens, employees, and executives who have unveiled wrongdoing, ensuring their rights remain protected.

Understanding Whistleblower Protections

The Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Act, established in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, provides protections for whistleblowers reporting securities law violations. This includes insider trading, securities fraud, and other related misconduct. Whistleblowers may qualify for financial rewards and are safeguarded against retaliation. Miller Shah is skilled in managing Dodd-Frank Act claims, with a long history of guiding whistleblowers through the intricacies of reporting such violations and seeking compensation.

The False Claims Act

Another critical piece of legislation is the False Claims Act. This act is instrumental in combatting fraud against federal agencies, including fraudulent claims made against Medicare or defense contractors. Qui tam provisions of the act allow whistleblowers to file lawsuits on behalf of the government, potentially receiving a portion of the recovered funds as a reward. Miller Shah has an impressive track record in successfully navigating False Claims Act cases, providing the requisite legal acumen and support for these complex claims.

In addition to the False Claims Act and Dodd-Frank Act, whistleblower lawsuits may be brought under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), the Financial Institutions Anti-Fraud Enforcement Act (FIAFEA) the Internal Revenue Service’s whistleblower program, and various state laws.
