Birmingham False Claims Act Attorneys

The False Claims Act is a federal law that seeks to hold individuals, companies, and organizations liable for defrauding the U.S. government. Under the act, persons who come forward with knowledge of illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive conduct by corporations, companies, or individuals (known as “whistleblowers”), are entitled to a percentage of any damages that the government recovers. At Hare, Wynn, Newell & Newton, our experienced attorneys have the resources, skills, and necessary knowledge to handle these types of complicated claims. We have successfully assisted whistleblowers under the False Claims Act, recovering more than one billion dollars on behalf of the U.S. Treasury throughout our decades of legal practice. Our team is ready to assist you through the entire process, offering exceptional representation and sound legal counsel.
