Whistleblowers are protected, by federal law, against retaliation. The False Claims Act, which both protects and encourages whistleblowing, contains an anti-retaliation provision that allows whistleblowers to collect double damages and attorney fees for any act of retaliation from an employer. This does not, however, mean that whistleblowers are never harassed, threatened, or fired. That’s precisely why these champions of justice need a strong and experienced whistleblower protection law firm on their side.
The AntiFraud Law Group, located in Newport News, Virginia, works to protect whistleblowers throughout the nation. If you are facing retaliation for blowing the whistle on wrongdoing, call us at 800 898 5192 for a free and informative consultation.
