False Claims Act: Plaintiff

Joseph Greenwald & Laake (JGL) attorneys are committed to uncovering and prosecuting fraud through the Federal and state False Claims Acts (FCA). They are experienced in protecting whistleblowers from retaliation, leveraging their extensive FCA and employment law skills to advocate for and protect those who expose wrongdoing. In its nationwide practice, the firm has successfully recovered nearly one billion dollars for the government.

JGL’s qui tam lawyers have decades of experience litigating the federal FCA and related state claims. With offices in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., the firm operates nationwide, serving clients from coast to coast.

Their work encompasses a wide array of qui tam cases, with significant experience in healthcare fraud, as well as fraud related to the Department of Defense, federal grants, higher education, small business 8(a) programs and procurement as well as COVID-related fraud. They have recently taken on an increasing number of whistleblower reports and heightened awareness of corporate misconduct across various sectors.

One 2024 matter in which JGL was lead counsel resulted in a combined $480 million settlement ($345M for intervened claims and $135M for declined), recognized by the Department of Justice as a record-setter, nearly tripling the largest prior Stark Law FCA settlement.
