We Taught Our Children…

If this life lesson has any meaning in a values-centered society, it means nothing less than we as citizens must hold companies that steal accountable for theft from our government.

You know, when companies are stealing from our government they are stealing from you. Companies steal by making false claims as government contractors, false Medicare and Medicaid claims and many other government benefit programs false claims.

We taught our kids that there are consequences that follow from stealing.
You may be talking to yourself and saying, “How can I blow the whistle? I am just a pebble on the beach. My employer and this overwhelming power of corporations can crush me like a bug. Oh, I just better go hide in the corner, keep my mouth shut and be a loyal soldier.” You know, you can be that person, or you can be a hero. You can be someone that goes along with fraud because you are afraid for your job, your family and your security. Or, instead you can be the kind of a person that we have represented over that last 30 years that says “NO - I’ve had - this is wrong and by my silence I am part of this fraud and cover-up.”

If you are reading this you may be having a crisis of conscience. I would urge you to call me and do the right thing. We can protect you, but most importantly, you can protect your good name.

I am proud to be a Founding Member of the Qui Tam Consortium, a select group of experienced trial lawyers that have fought the powerful companies of this country over the last 30 years and brought about positive changes in corporate behavior, product safety and government program honesty and security.

If you are wondering what the right thing to do is, we need to talk. You have only one good name.
