Dallas-Ft. Worth Whistleblower Attorneys

According to many estimates, the federal government loses hundreds of billions of dollars each year to fraudulent activities. For people working in the Dallas Fort-Worth area, that can seem like an abstract fact, until you suspect your company, competitor, healthcare provider, etc. might be engaging in just these activities. You can take a stand to end it and potentially obtain a share of the recovery.

At Cross Law Firm, S.C., we are in Texas to help clients file and succeed in whistleblower cases. Our clients are people who have knowledge of any sort of fraudulent activity that takes money from government coffers.

Our lawyers have Dallas and Ft. Worth whistleblowers covered.  We help Texas whistleblowers do the right thing to put an end to the fraud and gain the considerable rewards that may come with it.

Whistleblower Fraud Cases Must Meet Certain Qualifications

There are multiple laws that allow for regular individual workers to take steps to end a company’s fraud when it comes to the government. If you wish to work with us to file a lawsuit, we’ll closely review everything you have to ensure it qualifies before we move to litigation. But, in Dallas and Fort Worth, much of the potential fraud may come in such forms as:

• Defense contractor fraud: Any aspect of the defense contractor cycle could be filled with potential fraud from utilizing kickbacks, manipulating the bid process, misrepresenting progress for benchmark payments, substituting materials, or fraudulent mark-ups (the allegation that led to Lockheed Martin paying a $70 Million settlement in our qui tam case in 2024.
• Health care and pharmaceutical fraud: Medicare and Medicaid are two of the largest benefit programs in the U.S., and health care facilities and pharmacies can use many tactics to inflate their billables to the federal government such as hospice fraud, upcoding, to kickbacks to off-label sales.
• Oil and gas royalty fraud: The energy sector typically leases the land it uses to drill for oil and gas. However, the rights to mine those resources come with stipulation to pay royalties to the government. Manipulating these royalties can reap considerable profits at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer.

Only about 20% of False Claims Act qui tam actions obtain any recovery, but our nation-wide experience has yielded recovery for our whistleblower clients in the majority of our cases. Preparation, knowledge and experience is irreplaceable when filing qui tam actions because the process is so unique and unusual and the substantive law is complex and ever-evolving.  If you have knowledge of fraudulent claims against government payors, we welcome your call.

Award Programs For Whistleblowers

If you successfully blow the whistle, either through qui tam litigation under the False Claims Act, or utilizing the IRS or SEC whistleblower programs, you can receive a considerable reward. For all three programs, the maximum amount is 30% of the recovered or sanctioned amount.

However, the methods for receiving these awards and the steps you must take are different for each one. For example, in a False Claims Act filing, a formal complaint must be filed under seal in federal court.

The SEC and IRS programs differ in key ways, but no matter what, we’ll help you pursue your whistleblower case with focus and dedication.
