All taxpayers, including private businesses and individuals, are harmed when their hard-earned tax dollars are ripped off by contractors who defraud the federal or state government. Fraud costs our nation billions of dollars each year, so, all of us have a civic duty to blow the whistle when we see our government lose our tax dollars due to unscrupulous claims. The United States Congress and our state legislature have designed a specific method for individuals to recover these illegally diverted monies for and on behalf of the government through “qui tam” lawsuits.

Qui tam lawsuits brought under the False Claims Act enable patriotic citizens and businesses to aid the government in recovering fraud losses and also permit whistle-blowers to receive substantial financial awards for their action. The Act enables private citizens and businesses with evidence of fraud to file a lawsuit on behalf of the government in order to recoup stolen funds. The Act also offers the whistle-blower up to 30% of the government’s recovery for his or her risk and efforts. The U.S. government has recovered over $20 billion in False Claims Act cases over the past 20 years as a result of these qui tam suits.

Most important, we know how to file a qui tam suit and where to file it, and we have unique resources to get the job done, including a broad range of contacts with numerous federal agencies, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Texas Attorney General’s Office, as well as an extensive network of alliances with successful qui tam law firms throughout the United States. In short, we know how to fight fraud and we are willing to invest the resources and time to win the case for you and our government.
