Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most common questions we hear. For additional questions, contact us to discuss your unique situation.
Yes, False Claims Act cases are one of the very few areas of law for which every plaintiff must have a lawyer in order to proceed. It is very important to choose a lawyer with experience handling these complicated and procedurally complex cases and working collaboratively with state and federal investigative and enforcement authorities.
While arbitration often presents a less formal setting than court, having a business litigation lawyer can significantly enhance your ability to effectively present your case. For example, while the rules of evidence in arbitration are more relaxed than in a courtroom, there are still rules and procedures for introducing evidence to support your claim. As your lawyer, we will prepare your case, represent you during the arbitration proceedings, and protect your legal rights throughout the process. This support is particularly valuable in disputes involving substantial legal or financial concerns.
Yes. The False Claims Act provides that whistleblowers are entitled to a share of the government’s recovery in qui tam cases. This share is set by the court and (except in rare cases) ranges from 15% to 25% when the government intervenes, and from 25% to 30% if the government declines to intervene.
The False Claims Act (FCA) enables private citizens to take action against all manner of fraud (not including tax fraud) involving any federal monies. Common schemes include Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud, government procurement fraud, customs fraud, PPP loan fraud, as well as grant, loan and cyber security fraud. Telling lies to receive federal money is generally actionable. A majority of states have similar laws which permit citizens to bring cases to recover state money as well.
Yes, in many cases, even if a contract is partially performed, you may still have grounds for a breach of contract claim. The nature of the breach(es) will determine the amount of any possible recovery so it is important to have your case evaluated by an experienced complex commercial litigator before committing to an expensive and lengthy litigation process.
