Our Practice

No two cases are the same and what you are facing as a whistleblower will not be the same as anyone else. This is no time for a one-size-fits-all legal "solution".
We pride ourselves in paying close attention to your case and what you need. You get two very hands-on lawyers impeccably focused on you.

With over thirty-five years of experience protecting and championing qui tam whistleblowers, we can quickly summon a top-shelf strike force when we need it.
From former federal law enforcement and intelligence specialists to nationally renowned medical experts, forensic economists and computer scientists, we can call on our own A-Team who will be there when you need them.

Our Team

I have a Master's in Public Health from UCLA and worked in healthcare before going back to school to become a lawyer. In my first job out of graduate school, I learned that the second largest government-sponsored health planning agency in the country was corrupt from top to bottom. I spoke up and got fired. It took eighteen months, but we finally forced the Feds to shut the agency down. I know what it took -- and what it took out of me. I know what you are going through.

An experienced trial lawyer, I've won multi-million-dollar verdicts in consumer fraud and health care fraud cases. I've served on a U.S. Food and Drug Administration Advisory Panel and on the boards of California hospital and state health licensing agencies. I've been a consultant for the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, the American Public Health Association, and the American Cancer Society. I've served as a State Bar-appointed Special Master during investigations of fraudulent medica-legal activities. I've lectured at Columbia University and the University of North Carolina.

I've authored or co-authored "Friend of the Court" briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court and several federal Courts of Appeal for Taxpayers Against Fraud and the National Employment Lawyers' Association.
