False Claims Act Qui Tam Law

There are government contracts which cover everything from medical services to the smallest parts on the latest weapons system. But when a government contractor does not deliver a product or service as specified in its contract with the United States, the taxpayers may have been cheated. The False Claims Act is the principal tool for recovering lost dollars due to contractor fraud. The False Claims Act is designed to allow any person to pursue contractor fraud and, if successful, to recover a reward for so doing. HMTG is a nationally recognized pioneer in the successful use of the False Claims Act.

Whistleblower Reward Laws

The federal government offers financial rewards to persons with knowledge of securities, commodities, and tax law violations. The government has three primary whistleblower reward programs operated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Each of these programs offer whistleblowers an opportunity to receive up to 30% of the proceeds that the government obtains in an enforcement action. Under the SEC and CFTC programs, whistleblowers represented by an attorney can submit their tips anonymously. Helmer, Martins, Tate & Garrett has successfully represented whistleblowers for decades. If you have knowledge of SEC, CFTC, or IRS violations, securing an attorney can increase your chances of obtaining a reward.
