Why choose Carolina Whistleblower Attorneys?

Recognizing a good qui tam claim can be difficult even for attorneys. But we are led by former U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles, who revitalized South Carolina’s efforts to crack down on companies defrauding the government. During his tenure, South Carolina rose to 4th in the country for whistleblower recoveries.¹

First on the government side and now in private practice, Bill has amassed a staggering amount of experience and leads a team with a formidable track record of success. We’ve represented dozens of whistleblowers, with tens of millions of dollars in total settlements since 2016.^1,4

Here are some of our qui tam results:^{1, 4}

$5.25 Million

$4.19 Million

Avoid conflicts: We never defend corporations. Firms that work both sides of whistleblower cases are often conflicted out of accepting your relator referral — not us.

Well-equipped: Even the most skilled solo practitioners may not have the resources necessary to represent a relator. These cases often require so much more than just alerting the government to fraud.

Government experience: Most attorneys have never worked a qui tam case to conclusion. We have two attorneys on our team that managed government qui tam units.

Big case? Partner with a big firm

With whistleblower cases, you want to get the government interested in the whistleblower’s information. And we know what makes a case that the government could be interested in taking on.

But the government can only take on a fraction of the whistleblower cases vying for their attention. Even if the government declines the case, we have the knowledge and resources to pursue the claim without their involvement when appropriate. Successful claims without the government’s involvement can mean a bigger share of the recovery.

We have the experience, skills, and resources to take on a whistleblower case of any scale, complexity, and sensitivity. We also pride ourselves on working closely with referring firms. Or if you prefer, we will take the laboring oar and keep you updated on case progress and developments throughout.
