Qui Tam Lawsuits Attorneys

Sacramento Lawyers Handling Qui Tam Lawsuits

Fraud claims are often referred to as “qui tam,” a shortened version of a Latin phrase:

“Qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso” 
“Who sues on behalf of the king, as well as for himself.”

The whistleblower who brings a qui tam lawsuit is entitled to a percentage of the money the government recovers. Depending on the amount recovered by the government, the percentage paid to the whistleblower can be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A Qui Tam Lawsuit may be filed due to: 

• Medicare Fraud
• Defense Contract Fraud
• Healthcare Fraud
• Pharmaceutical Fraud
• Lying to obtain government grants
• Financial Aid Fraud

As of July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act went into effect, expanding whistle blower protections and increasing potential whistle blower recoveries. Since then, the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and attorneys across the United States have received an influx of phone calls from whistleblowers reporting fraud. As more individuals realize the potential reward for reporting fraud, it is anticipated that Qui Tam lawsuits will rise dramatically.

The Qui Tam Attorneys at Kershaw Talley Barlow successfully represented whistle blowers in numerous lawsuits claiming fraud against the government.

Our whistleblower lawsuit attorneys will explain your whistleblower rights and file your claim with the government. Do not tell anyone else. The first person reporting a fraud is the person who will be rewarded by the government in a successful lawsuit.
