What Is Whistleblowing?
In the Legal Dictionary, whistleblowing is defined as, “the disclosure by a person, usually an employee in a government agency or private enterprise, to the public or to those in authority, of:”
- Mismanagement
- Corruption
- Illegality
- Or some other wrongdoing
In other words, a whistleblower is an individual who exposes an entity’s wrongdoing. The legal process involving whistleblower claims is also referred to as “qui tam.”
Whistleblowers who have uncovered wrongdoing and are willing to expose it can sue on behalf of the government. Qui tam laws like the False Claims Act (FCA) offer financial rewards to successful whistleblowers. If they win the lawsuit, they are allowed to share in the proceeds of any successful litigation or settlement with the federal government.

“I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Kelly Myers during a very difficult contractual dispute with my prior workplace. While we agreed that it was best for me to continue myself, at least for a time, she was deeply helpful and insightful. We spoke for over 40 minutes about specific issues and I never felt rushed or unheard. I will recommend Ms. Myers to anyone who asks me for future employment issues. I am grateful and hopeful that this Google Review will bring new business to an attorney who I believe in just after a 40 minute consultation.”- Blake C.

“I've had generally mediocre experiences with (only a few) attorneys over a lifetime, but George Reul is the exception. I met him briefly, relating to an employment matter. He is methodical and primed. For once I did not detect a lawyer simply chasing the dollar. He is thoughtful, asks the right questions, and gives clear advice. If I need more help, I won't hesitate to go back. The staff and operation here, too, is top-notch, professional, and clearly able to deliver quality legal services. Good find!”- John S.

“Finding yourself on the receiving end of wrongdoing can be a difficult and daunting experience. And sometimes in order to make things right, you need professional help. Our family was very fortunate to find Mark Napier and his wonderful staff. He reviewed our situation thoroughly and counseled and advised us every step of the way. Not only were he and his staff personable and approachable, but they were also very comforting and assuring during a very difficult and stressful time. Mark Napier rectified a situation for us that we could not have managed on our own. Our many many thanks and appreciation to Mark Napier and his staff. Highly recommended!”- Jim S.

Navigating the user-friendly website, completing the initial questionnaire, receiving a prompt response, and meeting with an attorney all helped us understand the possibilities in a way we could comprehend. The initial support team was accommodating and professional. Jon Allison was patient, respectful, and fully present during the review. His expertise and ability to sift through details, listen compassionately and outline options was reassuring. The objective was to reach a mutually agreeable plan of action and we did. Highly recommend!”- SP D.
