Qui Tam Tips: How To File A Whistleblower Complaint

Just because you know about government fraud doesn't mean anyone will do anything about it in a qui tam case. Many people, including some lawyers, believe all they need to do is file a whistleblower (qui tam) complaint, then sit back to wait for the money truck to arrive. Unfortunately it doesn't happen that way.

You'll need attorneys who have litigated big whistleblower qui tam cases before. You'll need investigators who know how to prove fraud. Only James, Hoyer, a law firm comprising former federal and state prosecutors, as well as former FBI agents working full-time as investigators, has the experience to turn your knowledge into results in a qui tam complaint.

After a whistleblower qui tam lawsuit is filed, it is assigned at random to a government lawyer. That lawyer has many assignments competing for his or her attention, including other qui tam complaints. If your qui tam complaint happens to catch the attorney's attention, it might be forwarded to an investigative agency. Often that agency is the FBI. The FBI agent's desk will be even more crowded with assignments than the government lawyer's. And so on. Then you will get a routine request for a 6-month extension, to allow for more investigation. And then another. You won't know if your qui tam case is dead or alive. Worse yet, another whistleblower who files a qui tam complaint similar to yours, but better-managed, may end up getting the credit and the reward for a recovery that should have been yours.

I've discovered fraud - what do I do next? Do I have a strong qui tam case?
