New Jersey Whistleblower or false Claims Act Lawyers

1. NEW JERSEY WHISTLEBLOWER/FALSE CLAIMS ACT LAWYERS The New Jersey False Claims Act/Whistleblower attorneys at The Law Firm of Morgan Rooks, P.C. want you to know that coming forward benefits the public good, the government, and perhaps even other employees. The government also offers substantial incentives and legal protections to those who come forward with reliable information. However, there are important steps that must be followed in filing a claim under the False Claims Act. The person who reports the fraud must do so through a lawsuit filed through an attorney. The lawsuit must be the first to bring the allegations of fraud. If another person files a lawsuit that contains the same or similar allegations of fraud, your case can be dismissed. Do not discuss the allegations or report the allegations to anyone other than your attorney. Public disclosures of your allegations can be harmful to your claims.

2. What is the False Claims Act? The original False Claims Act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Its original aim was to incentivize people to come forward with information about military contracting fraud during the Civil War. It has evolved over the years and been amended to become the predominant law pertaining to protecting whistleblowers. The False Claims Act is designed to hold both individuals and businesses accountable when they engage in defrauding the government or engaging in violations of the law.
