Pasadena Whistleblower Lawyer And Qui Tam Advocacy
If you discover signs of company misconduct at work, you may need to make a protected disclosure to management or outside authorities. Feeling nervous about your career in that situation is normal.
You may need the guidance of a California whistleblower attorney who understands Southern California employment law. At The Azat Law Group, we help professionals in Pasadena and the surrounding areas effectively report employer misconduct while protecting themselves from workplace retaliation.
What Makes An Employee A Whistleblower?
Under California Labor Code 1102.5, workers who report company misconduct have protection from workplace retaliation. They shouldn’t face demotions, termination, harassment or other workplace punishment for reporting illegal, unsafe or fraudulent company conduct.
Whistleblowers are workers who report issues within the company or to external regulatory/investigatory agencies. Employees aware of safety violations, financial fraud or tax evasion may need the support of a whistleblower lawyer to avoid unlawful retaliation.
What Is A Qui Tam Action?
If you uncover evidence of government billing fraud, you may need to initiate a qui tam action with the help of a False Claims Act attorney. The False Claims Act allows you to file a lawsuit against your employer on behalf of the government. Its bounty hunter provisions allow you to receive a portion of the funds recovered by a successful suit.
Our qui tam lawyers can help you develop an evidence-focused strategy. You must move quickly to comply with the statute of limitations. Prompt action helps ensure you are the first to file and, therefore, the source of the disclosure. Our team includes former federal and state prosecutors who have insight into both sides of the qui tam litigation process.
