Qui tam lawyers for whistleblowers nationwide

Phillips & Cohen LLP is the nation’s most successful law firm representing whistleblowers in qui tam lawsuits.  On behalf of whistleblowers, our lawyers bring Medicare fraud cases and qui tam cases  involving other types of fraud under federal and state false claims laws.

Phillips &  Cohen also represents whistleblowers who have information about federal tax fraud and tax underpayments.  Under a new law, whistleblowers who provide information about tax fraud or tax underpayments that leads to more than $2 million in recoveries, may receive a reward of 15 percent to 30 percent of the amount the federal government recovers.

Phillips & Cohen recently was recognized as one of the nation's top law firms by a pre-eminent legal news publication. The National Law Journal named the whistleblower law firm to its annual "Plaintiffs' Hot List" for 2007. Only 13 law firms made the list, which was based on "exemplary" work and "significant" wins as well as an impressive track record for the past five years. It was the second time in three years that Phillips & Cohen made the list.

Phillips & Cohen attorneys have received the highest ratings from Martindale-Hubbell and Lawdragon, which are independent lawyer-rating services. Its lawyers also have been included in Superlawyers, which lists the top 5 percent of attorneys in each state, and in top lawyers lists in local publications, such as Washingtonian magazine.

Attorney John R. Phillips, one of the firm's founding partners, is "the nation's premier whistleblower attorney," according to the National Law Journal and The Wall Street Journal. The National Law Journal this year named Phillips one of the "100 most influential lawyers" in the nation for the third straight time.

The whistleblower law firm's roster also includes former government fraud prosecutors, a former U.S. Senate Judiciary counsel, a former U.S. Attorney and experienced litigators recruited from the nation's top law firms. They have expertise in a wide range of qui tam cases involving government contract fraud, including Medicare and Medicaid fraud and defense contractor fraud.

Qui tam lawsuits brought by Phillips & Cohen on behalf of whistleblowers have returned more than $2 billion to the U.S. Treasury, making it by far the top whistleblower law firm in the country.

Phillips & Cohen and several of its qui tam cases figure prominently in a highly praised book published by Atlantic Monthly Press.  In Giantkillers: the Team and the Law that Help Whistleblowers Recover America's Stolen Billions,  author Henry Scammell recounts the history of the False Claims Act and provides in-depth accounts of several whistleblower cases.

Phillips & Cohen attorneys are nationally recognized experts on whistleblower (False Claims Act) cases and are frequently quoted in publications such as the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Several of their qui tam cases have been profiled on 60 Minutes.
