Whistleblower Cases
Legal Help for Whistleblowers in Southeastern Pennsylvania and South New Jersey
Whistleblower employees are covered by federal law and by a specific New Jersey whistleblower law in order to ensure that employees have protections and incentives to do the right thing to protect the public interest and prevent the government and taxpayers from being defrauded.
If you have first-hand, independent knowledge of employer wrong-doing, and you bring it to the attention of the proper authorities in a proper manner, you are protected from employment termination and employer retaliation and you could receive between 15-30% of the financial recovery in a lawsuit based on the information you have provided.
Your rewards could be substantial. Your risks are also considerable. Let an employment attorney with many years of experience help you take your case to the government correctly. When you bring your whistleblower case to the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano, P.C., you can rest assured that your sensitive legal matter will be handled by or will be supervised by a certified civil trial attorney.
“Certified trial attorney” is a designation granted by the New Jersey Supreme Court to attorneys who demonstrate significant experience, education, knowledge, and skill in trial practice. Fewer than three percent of all lawyers in New Jersey have earned this distinction; Ronald A. Graziano is one of them.
At the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano, we have handled whistleblower complaints for:
- Drug company employees alleging fraud
- Trucking company employees reporting violations of transportation laws or environmental protection laws
- Employees at manufacturing plants reporting consumer rip-offs and safety violations,
- Food product companies reporting consumer rip-offs and health and safety violations,
- Government workers alleging workplace or employment violations
- Employees who report lack of proper licensure
- Nursing home, hospital and medical practice employees alleging health violations, accounting fraud and Medicare / Medicaid fraud
We Ensure You Are Protected
In order to be protected under the Whistleblower Statute, you must be the first employee to report information for which you have first-hand knowledge. Bring your information to an experienced employment law attorney, such as those at the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano, so that we can review your evidence and provide advice and guidance on the proper way to proceed with your case. Contact our office to learn about your rights and protections under the New Jersey Whistleblower law.
You can be anonymous for the first part of your complaint; we will protect your anonymity as long as possible. We are also prepared to defend you from illegal employer retaliation. If you are terminated in retaliation for bringing a lawful claim, you can get back pay, double damages, and legal fees.
You do not have to be correct in your whistleblowing claim in order to be protected from retaliation. If you believed there was a violation of the law and you acted on it, that is enough to gain protection.
