Whistleblowers must file their False Claims Act cases in federal court. Once a whistleblower files a qui tam complaint, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will evaluate the complaint, conduct a preliminary investigation, and then make a decision regarding intervention. Individuals who hire a whistleblower attorney to represent them can rely on their attorney to communicate with the DOJ on their behalf throughout this process. For individuals who choose to hire an attorney to help them expose fraud and protect their legal rights, scheduling a free consultation is the first step in the process.
