New York Whistleblower Lawyers

By coming forward to expose fraud or misconduct within an organization, whistleblowers play an integral role in insuring industry accountability and safeguarding the public good.  However, blowing the whistle often comes a great personal risk and can be fraught with challenges. Miller Shah LLP is committed to the important work of representing and protecting whistleblowers, including by offering dependable legal services to those facing retaliation from their employer for speaking out. Our New York whistleblower lawyers can help you at every step of the way on your whistleblowing journey and ensure your rights are protected.

Rights and Protections for Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers should be able to come forward to reveal illegal or fraudulent activity without fear of retaliation. In an effort to foster a culture of honesty and accountability, several laws and regulations protect whistleblowers.  For instance, the False Claims Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, 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 several state laws provide avenues for relief and compensation for whistleblowers.

Miller Shah helps clients understand these protections and strategize a path forward to address illegal and unethical practices. Our results-oriented team has extensive experience navigating the intricacies of these statutory and regulatory schemes. Whether your case involves financial fraud under the Dodd-Frank Act or fraudulent claims against government programs under the False Claims Act, our New York whistleblower lawyers can guide you through the process of investigation with the appropriate government agency, filing a lawsuit, and pursuing justice. 

How Miller Shah Can Help

Whistleblowers are the backbone of ethical business operations, but navigating the complexities of whistleblower cases demands a deep understanding of the relevant legal framework. Each of the statutes mentioned above have criteria regarding a whistleblower’s role, eligibility, and knowledge, the potential reward available, and the statute of limitations for brining a claim.  Whistleblower cases challenge practices in some of the most powerful industries, including pharmaceuticals, construction, defense, and other multi-billion dollar sectors.  Thus, comprehensive legal support is vital at all stages of the whistleblower process.
