Whistleblowers

Miami Lawyers Handling Whistleblower Claims

Businesses have the responsibility to be morally and ethically sound. They are expected to report all income and pay all taxes accordingly. If an individual feels legal obligations have been violated, he may make a report under the protection of the government. People who report this information to the government are known as "whistleblowers" because they are bringing the criminal activity of others to the government's attention. 

At the Miami, Florida law firm of Weisberg and Kainen P.L., we represent either whistleblowers who wish to report tax fraud or those who may be under investigation for criminal activities. By focusing our entire practice on tax law and criminal defense, we offer a unique blend of knowledge and experience in both areas. Our knowledge of criminal procedure and tax statutes and regulations, our attorneys work toward the best possible outcomes for our clients.

The False Claims Act

Each year, billions of potential tax dollars are fraudulently withheld from the IRS by both businesses and individuals. The government puts a strong focus on preventing criminal tax fraud. To encourage and protect potential whistleblowers, the False Claims Act was enacted.

The False Claims Act protects whistleblowers from discharge, demotion, or discrimination after reporting cases of fraud. It also entitles whistleblowers to 15 to 25 percent of any amount of money the government may recover.
