We represented one of several relators in the 2009 recovery against Pfizer that was one of the largest False Claims Act recoveries in the nation’s history. When our client came to the firm, she was seriously considering accepting a severance package worth approximately $40,000. We advised our client to forego accepting the severance package, and instead to bring a claim under the False Claims Act. As a result, she received a very significant seven figure whistleblower award and helped put an end to the fraud.
