West Palm Beach Whistleblower Attorneys

Experienced Whistleblower Attorneys Representing Private-Sector and Government Employees in West Palm Beach

Federal whistleblower laws protect whistleblowers who choose to come forward. If you have information about fraud, waste, or abuse in the public or private sector, coming forward is the right thing to do, and an experienced West Palm Beach whistleblower attorney can help ensure that you receive the full protections that are available.

At Oberheiden P.C., we represent whistleblowers in West Palm Beach, throughout Florida, and nationwide when it comes to state and federal laws. Not only do we have extensive experience working with governmental authorities on behalf of our clients, but several of our lawyers used to work at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). As a result, we have an intimate understanding of the Whistleblower Protection Act and how the federal government handles whistleblower cases, and we can leverage our experience to help our whistleblower clients expose wrongdoing that has caused harm to investors, patients, taxpayers, or the public at large.

Types of Whistleblower Cases We Handle

We represent whistleblowers who need to expose all forms of fraud, waste, and abuse. We represent current and former employees in the public and private sectors, from employees of healthcare providers and defense contractors to civil servants employed by the DOJ, Small Business Administration (SBA), and U.S. Marshals Office and members of the military. The following is just a sampling of the types of qui tam lawsuit we handle:

CFTC Whistleblowers

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulates the futures, options, and swaps markets in the United States. Through its Whistleblower Program, the CFTC works with citizens to expose violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, Dodd-Frank Act, and a multitude of other federal laws and regulations.

CIA and NSA Whistleblowers

We represent current and former employees of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and National Security Administration (NSA) who need to blow the whistle on privacy violations and other forms of governmental overreach and misconduct. If you need to come forward, we can arrange for you to speak with a West Palm Beach whistleblower attorney in complete confidence.

Defense Contract Whistleblowers

Fraud under federal defense contracts costs U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars per year. We help whistleblowers in West Palm Beach expose procurement collusion, double billing, substitution of inferior materials, and all other forms of fraud.

Dodd-Frank Whistleblowers

Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. It remains a key piece of federal legislation today, and violations of the Dodd-Frank Act can cause substantial harm to consumers while exposing companies and financial institutions to substantial liability.

False Claims Act Whistleblowers

The federal False Claims Act (FCA) provides protections (and, in some cases, financial compensation) to individuals who report fraud, waste, and abuse under federal contracts, grants, and programs. It is one of the broadest whistleblower statutes we have, and many federal false claims complaints will need to be filed in accordance with the requirements of the FCA.

Federal Employee Whistleblowers

Federal employees who are aware of bribery, abuses of authority, nepotism, and other forms of corruption can—and should—come forward. If you work for the federal government (or used to work for the federal government) and need to file a complaint, a West Palm Beach whistleblower attorney at Oberheiden P.C. can help.

FDA Whistleblowers

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigates whistleblower complaints alleging violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other laws falling within its enforcement jurisdiction. This includes complaints of misleading the FDA and misleading consumers, among others.

Health Care Fraud Whistleblowers

Health care fraud also costs taxpayers billions of dollars per year. We help current and former employees in the public and private sectors file whistleblower complaints with the federal government for:

• Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare Fraud – Overbilling, unbundling, upcoding, and other types of billing violations under Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare.
• Pharmaceutical Fraud – Improperly billing Medicaid and other payors for patients’ prescriptions, violating federal prescription control laws, and dispensing medications without physician-issued scripts.
• HHS Violations – Internal and external violations of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) laws and regulations, including fraud and abuse of authority.

IRS Whistleblowers

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is another federal agency that maintains an independent whistleblower program. We help whistleblowers report all forms of tax evasion and tax fraud, including income tax evasion, employment tax fraud, offshore disclosure violations, and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) fraud.

SEC and SOX Whistleblowers

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigates whistleblower complaints under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and other federal laws that are in place to protect investors. This includes complaints alleging corporate accounting violations, recordkeeping violations, fraudulent public filings, and fraud in brokerage and investment advisory services.
