• Knowingly presenting or causing a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval
• Knowingly creating, presenting or making use of a false material or records
• Has possession, custody or control of property used or to be used by the government and knowingly delivering less of that money or property
• Conspiring to submit a false claim
• Receiving property from someone who is not legally authorized to sell the property
• Delivering a document the confirms receiving government property without knowing for sure that the information is accurate

Benefits of Hiring a Prescott Whistleblower Attorney

At Phillips Law Group, we understand the risks you are taking by releasing this sensitive information. We also know how difficult it can be to prove that an employer violated the False Claims Act. We are prepared to tackle these complex cases. We have a detailed understanding of this law and other relevant laws that may apply to your situation.

Once we establish that you are able to take legal action, an investigation will be conducted and supportive evidence will be gathered to begin building a strong case on your behalf.

The government may even intervene in your case, which may be beneficial as cases that have government intervention are often more successful than those that do not. If the government becomes involved, their attorneys will assume control of the case and may either pursue and prosecute the case, dismiss the case or settle it. The government, however, must approve if you want to settle the case.

Confidentiality in whistleblower cases is very important to our legal team. Your consultation is completely confidential and should you have a viable case, we are prepared to take the necessary steps to protect your identity from the public.
