About

Provided by Getnick Law

Getnick Law is a national leader in representing whistleblowers under the federal and state False Claims Acts, as well as whistleblower programs. We successfully fight healthcare fraud; financial & investment fraud; tax fraud; and other frauds on government programs.

Getnick Law has been at the forefront of False Claims Act and whistleblower litigation, education, and advocacy for three decades. We have represented whistleblowers in groundbreaking cases, including a $750 million recovery from GlaxoSmithKline for manufacturing and selling adulterated drugs to government health plans that resulted in the then-largest award to a single whistleblower; a $263 million tax fraud recovery from an individual taxpayer under the IRS Whistleblower Program, one of the largest tax whistleblower cases ever; and a $257 million recovery in the first major national Medicaid fraud settlement under the False Claims Act.

We actively promote whistleblower interests and played a leading role in the enactment of the New York False Claims Act. We have a record of success in New York False Claims Act cases, including a $70 million recovery against a major hedge fund and related entities for tax fraud.

Our lawyers regularly speak about the False Claims Act and whistleblower programs on panels organized by professional bar associations, public interest organizations, and universities. We are well-known and respected by government lawyers who investigate and prosecute these cases.
