We Are Qui Tam Litigators

We represent whistleblowers that know about fraud being committed against the federal government.  Our clients are incentivized to report serious fraud schemes being committed by companies across the country, and even the world.  Our cases target any persons or companies that defraud the United States, including health care fraud and defense procurement fraud.  We fight tirelessly to hold accountable big businesses and others that receive federal money.

When Experience Matters

Helmer, Martins, Tate & Garrett Co., LPA has prosecuted False Claims Act qui tam cases on behalf of whistleblowers longer than any law firm in America.  We are frequently consulted by attorneys throughout the country regarding False Claims Act cases, and sometimes join with them to help present their clients’ cases.  Since 1984, we have lectured, authored treatises, written articles, litigated, and lobbied for the rights of whistleblowers who come forward to protect the public treasury.  Our book, False Claims Act: Whistleblower Litigation, is the first book written specifically to help whistleblowers and their attorneys successfully navigate the many procedural hurdles of the False Claims Act.

  Determination

For nearly 40 years, our law firm has focused on litigating the toughest and most complex cases. We have represented whistleblowers in dozens of qui tam False Claims Act cases. Five of our cases were featured in front page articles in the Wall Street Journal, a sixth on the front of the New York Times, and four on the television show, 60 Minutes.

  Results

False Claims Act cases in which we have represented whistleblowers have led to the return or more than $1 Billion to the United States Treasury, with proportional amounts to our clients. We have successfully argued cases before both the Supreme Court of the United States, the Supreme Court of Ohio, and numerous courts of appeals.

  Recognition

On four occasions we have been requested by the United States Senate and House of Representatives to present testimony about how to strengthen and modernize the False Claims Act. Our suggestions have led to changes in the law eventually signed by both President Ronald Reagan and President Barack Obama.

There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the Government.

Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard’s Almanack

Nobody ever knows why he gets the dirty job. But any society is held together by the efforts…yes, and the sacrifices of only a few.

James A. Michener, The Bridges at Toko-Ri

Laws are the very bulwarks of liberty; they define every man’s rights, and defend the individual liberties of all men.
