Appearing On:

whistleblower lawyer VAIf you are a  justice seeking whistleblower, you probably already know how scary it can be to call out an employer or other powerful entity on a wrongdoing without the help of a top whistleblower lawyer VA is proud to have fighting for its people who stand up for what is right. If you are thinking about blowing the whistle, you likely have fears about whether you should really go through with this, when you should do this, how you should do this, and many other fears not named here.

The laws that are supposed to protect whistleblowers are complicated. The powerful businesses and organizations that do not want their wrongdoings made public tend to have a wealth of resources and associates that allow them to make it very difficult for whistleblowers to prove their cases. This is one of the many reasons that it may be in your best interest to talk to a reputable whistleblower lawyer VA residents recommend.

Timing

Individuals with important information about an illegal activity that is a threat to the safety, security, and/or health of other individuals, or the public at large- have a lot on their shoulders. These people often know that they are just one voice that wants to stand up for justice and that it may be just one voice alone. If you are one of these people, you have probably thought about how your and your family’s lives might change because of your needing to do this. It may be helpful to talk to a reputable whistleblower lawyer VA community members trust.

The right time for sharing information can be subjective for every individual. The sensitivity of a whistleblower’s material is different for every unique situation, that person, and their family. It is important to have an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer to help guide you through the difficult process of speaking up for what is right.

What is Qui Tam?

A qui tam lawyer is a legal professional who represents a private citizen who has filed suit against an individual or corporation that has fraudulently used government funds. Qui tam lawyers are sometimes referred to as whistleblower lawyers.

Quit tam comes from a Latin phrase that (roughly) means, “He who sues sues on behalf of the King, as well as for himself.” In this kind of litigation, a whistleblower who is a private citizen, may file a lawsuit through privately retained lawyers to try to recover losses caused by a government fraud.

If you know of fraud committed against the government, talking to a whistleblower lawyer VA whistleblowers have gotten help from before, may help you to deal with the situation you are currently in. Whether you have already blown the whistle or are just thinking about it, the sooner you talk to a knowledgeable lawyer about your individual situation, the sooner you may be able to start protecting your case, your career, and your personal life.

Talking to a Lawyer

There are many different reasons to become a whistleblower. Whether you are an individual who knows of an employer’s illegal practices that are negatively affecting the health and safety of yourself and your co-workers- or are a government employee who knows of activities that are taking advantage of the government- or you may have whistleblowing information for many, many, many other and different scenarios- you probably think that you may be up for some hard challenges if you come forth with the information you have. Regardless of your particular situation, a licensed whistleblower lawyer VA legal associations have deemed qualified to practice in your area, is a good place to start to help you with your legal matters.

Common challenges whistleblowers face include but are not limited to:

  • Harassment
  • Discrimination
  • Retaliation
  • Demotion
  • Dismissal

Whistleblowers should not be alone in their endeavors to try to point the light of justice towards areas of injustice. Very often, whistleblowers are inspired to take the risk of speaking up about a wrongdoing in order to benefit other people. A whistleblower may benefit from their own actions but their actions often lead to the benefit of the greater good.

If you are thinking about exposing a wrongdoing or already have, an experienced whistleblower lawyer VA has had fighting for its whistleblowers before, may be able to answer your questions and help you to make an informed decision about your next steps.

Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout. She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!

She took the time to listen whenever I needed to vent about my situation, and her empathy made a difficult process much more manageable. Nicole was a strong advocate on my behalf and worked diligently to ensure that I received a fair settlement from the insurance company.

If you want experienced legal representation, exceptional client service, and a team that truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for you, this is the firm to choose. Thank you, Nicole and the entire Cohen & Cohen team, for your dedication and outstanding work!
