Whistleblowers International

The Law firm of Piacentile, Stefanowski & Malherbe LLP d/b/a Whistleblowers International helps individuals bring whistleblower cases against companies who have defrauded the United States government, evaded taxes, violated securities laws, or endangered the public through corporate misconduct. We’ve built our practice through decades of experience with these specialized cases and lots of hard work from a dedicated team of attorneys and investigators. Whistleblower litigation, from the False Claims Act to SEC violations and IRS fraud, can be confusing without experienced counsel at your side. We take our commitment to the best client outcomes seriously: we want to see your interests protected and your devotion to justice honored.

Whistleblowers face significant challenges in the fight against fraud. Some are apparent risks, like counterclaims and employment retaliation, and some are more difficult for the less experienced to foresee. Our approach to case evaluation, development and strategy is designed from the ground up to mitigate the risk involved in blowing the whistle, build your case to get the government’s attention, and create the strongest possible position at the settlement negotiation table.

DR. JOE'S CASES HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN:

More than 30 years of experience

Dr. Joe has been involved in recovering billions of dollars for the Government in cases of illegal kickbacks, pharmaceutical off-­label marketing, Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud, injury by defective medical products and devices, and securities fraud. These cases involved lawsuits against some of the largest corporations and pharmaceutical companies in the world. 

Blowing the whistle on illegal misconduct can be both challenging and financially rewarding. There are numerous complex and often counterintuitive steps that need to be strictly followed in filing a whistleblower legal action. One of the most important requirements is that, in many cases, you should not speak publicly about your claim, as that could jeopardize your claim. This is counterintuitive. Whistleblower programs require adhering to strict procedural requirements in order to potentially be eligible for a reward. Our team can help you protect your rights by assisting you step by step, from initial investigation through legal formalities and eventually, to, if the government collects money based on your information and legal action, collecting your financial award.
