Experienced Illinois Whistleblower Claim Lawyers
If your employer is defrauding the government, you are entitled to come forward as a whistleblower and collect a portion of the money that the government is able to recover. For many, pursuing whistleblower action is viewed as a civic duty and the only ethical choice. If you are considering making a whistleblower claim, contact the Chicago civil rights law firm of Loevy & Loevy to discuss your case with a knowledgeable attorney.

A Rare Opportunity to Do Well by Doing Good
Payments for whistleblowers can be substantial. In the last decade alone, whistleblowers under the Federal Claims Act have recovered almost $10,000,000,000 for the United States and received over $1,600,000,000 in reward money.
Also, the False Claims Act prohibits employment retaliation against whistleblowers and provides meaningful remedies if the employer doesn't abide, including:
- Double back pay
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages
If you involve an attorney early enough, we may be able to achieve an injunction, stopping the retaliation before it has a chance to cause real harm to your career.
