Employment Discrimination

Your employer must provide you with a workplace that is free from discrimination. Our employment attorneys have decades of experience fighting for the rights of employees who have experienced race, color, national origin, disability, pregnancy, sex, gender, gender identity, age, religion, and other types of discrimination.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights that go far beyond that provided by federal law. Contact us to explore your rights.

Do I Have a Whistleblower Case?

If you have evidence that a company or someone is defrauding the government, as a whistleblower or qui tam relator you can file a legal action in the government’s name under the False Claims Act and similar state statutes. The whistleblower receives a percentage of any money the government recovers.

If you believe you have discovered fraud against the government, you should try to assess the magnitude of the fraud and gather whatever documentary or electronic evidence is lawfully available. Then contact us for a confidential case review.

Whistleblower Protection

We represent all sorts of whistleblowers, from blue collar workers seeking to correct unsafe conditions to business executives opposing corporate fraud. Numerous state and federal laws protect employees who dare take a stand and blow the whistle. If you’re thinking about blowing the whistle, you’ve come to the right place. Our attorneys can help guide you through how to blow the whistle while protecting your career. There are many things to consider before speaking out. For example, should you try to remain anonymous? Should you report the problems internally to your direct supervisor, the HR manager, or a government agency? Does your disclosure need to be in writing? Do you work within the Intelligence Community or handle information regulated by HIPAA? We can guide you through these issues and more, and help you protect your livelihood.

Whistleblower Rewards

Hoyer Law Group is home to several successful and experienced whistleblower lawyers who prosecute a wide variety of cases relating to healthcare and government procurement fraud, securities and commodities fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud, and pollution under several state and federal laws that provide rewards to whistleblowers. Two of our main areas of practice involve healthcare and education fraud prosecuted under the federal False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 to 3733, and many similar state laws. The federal False Claims Act prohibits any person from submitting a false claim for payment to the federal government. A whistleblower (called a “relator”) who has knowledge about the fraud can bring a claim called a qui tam claim on behalf of the government. If the relator is successful and recovers money for the government, the government will pay the relator a reward of up to 30% of the recovery.
