Defense Contractor Fraud Attorney

Whistleblowers play an important role in combating military and defense contract fraud. Utilizing the power of laws like the False Claims Act, we’ve seen significant triumphs against deceitful practices in the U.S.

In Fiscal Year 2017 alone, a DOJ report highlighted a staggering $2.2 billion in FCA settlements and judgments. A significant chunk of this, $1.9 billion to be exact, came from whistleblower-led cases, leading to $488 million in whistleblower rewards.

Presently, the nation sees around 650 fresh whistleblower cases every year. At Kohn & Kohn & Colapinto, our seasoned qui tam whistleblower attorneys, specializing as defense contract fraud attorneys, boast a robust track record of championing whistleblower causes and aiding them in securing deserving rewards.

Those guilty of violating the False Claims Act can face penalties up to three times the fraud’s financial magnitude perpetrated against the government. Additionally, they might incur civil fines ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 per fraudulent claim.

A qui tam whistleblower, armed with the expertise of a defense contract fraud attorney, stands to gain between 15 and 30 percent of the total government recovery from the defendant. Just reporting isn’t enough; rewards are contingent on the successful retrieval of funds from the accused party.
