At Phillips Law Group, we understand the risk you are taking by coming forward. That is why your free case evaluation is strictly confidential.
We also know how complex these cases are and how difficult it can be to prove an employer violated the False Claims Act. We are prepared to review the law, how you were able to find out about the alleged illegal activity and review any other laws that may apply to your specific case.
Our Glendale whistleblower lawyers understand that cases are more likely to be successful when the government gets on board. That is why we are dedicated to constructing a detailed case to try to get the government’s support.
When the government joins a whistleblower claim, government attorneys take control of the case and can decide when to settle, dismiss or prosecute a case. If this happens in your situation, we can keep you informed about the progress of your case.
Throughout the process, we will strive to keep your identity confidential, because we know and greatly respect the risk you took.

When a company violates the False Claims Act, it is essentially stealing money from the government. If a claim is successful, the whistleblower may be eligible to receive a portion of the money recovered by the government.
The percentage varies depending on if the government joined the case. If the government decides to intervene, you could receive between 15 and 25 percent of the money recovered.
Without the government on board, you may be eligible to receive between 25 and 30 percent of the recovered funds.
Compensation may also be available for attorney fees and additional expenses.
