Considering a False Claims Act Case? Talk to Experienced FCA Lawyers Before You Take the Next Step.
FCA cases involve complex strategic and procedural decisions. What you do—or don’t do—before filing can matter. We focus specifically on representing whistleblowers/relators in FCA litigation. Initial conversations can help determine whether your situation warrants further evaluation.
Your message comes straight to Jerry Martin’s team and is protected. This is a conversation, not a commitment. You decide what happens next.
Jerry MartinPartner · Former U.S. Attorney
Reporting fraud is a big decision. You don’t have to make it alone.
Coming forward can feel overwhelming. What do I have? Am I protected? What happens to my job? The right time to get those answers is before you do anything. That’s exactly what this conversation is for.
Jerry Martin has spent his career on this. As a former U.S. Attorney appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, he helped build the government’s healthcare-fraud enforcement effort, and now he stands on the other side, guiding whistleblowers through it. He’ll walk you through what you’re looking at, what the law protects, and whether you have a case, in plain language.
- Confidential from the first word. Nothing you share leaves the team. Many whistleblower cases are even filed under seal.
- No pressure, no obligation. Talk it through, get honest answers, and decide on your own timeline. Walking away is always fine.
- You may be protected, and rewarded. The law shields whistleblowers from retaliation and can award 15%–30% of what the government recovers.

The First Lawyer You Call Matters
False Claims Act cases are not ones to figure out as you go.
Relators are effectively bringing an action on behalf of the government and that early decisions can affect the case’s trajectory. Before filing, your attorney may need to consider:
- How and where to file the case.
- How the allegations should be framed.
- What evidence can legally be collected and used.
- How to handle confidential or HIPAA-protected information.
- What jurisdiction may provide the strongest legal position.
- How to approach the government and its investigation.
- What happens if the government declines to intervene.
- Whether your legal team can pursue the case independently.
These decisions require more than general litigation experience. They require experience with False Claims Act litigation.

Are You an Attorney Considering an FCA Referral?
We regularly work with attorneys who identify potential False Claims Act matters but don’t regularly handle relator litigation. We can evaluate the matter and, where appropriate, work alongside referring counsel.
