Our attorneys have a track record of success in helping whistleblowers hold fraudsters accountable for making false claims and stealing taxpayer money.1
Press coverage of a formidable whistleblower attorney
Our lead whistleblower attorney, Bill Nettles, is a former U.S. Attorney for the District of South Carolina. During his tenure, he led the district to become in the top 5% of districts in the nation for combating government fraud and collecting funds improperly procured from the government.1
Following are press releases from a few of the whistleblower cases in which Bill’s U. S. Attorney’s office intervened:
- Two Testing Labs to Pay $48.5 Million to Settle Claims of Paying Kickbacks and Conducting Unnecessary Testing in Lawsuits Filed by Whistleblowers
- ’60 Minutes’ Whistleblower to Receive $18 Million1
- Respironics to Pay $34.8 Million for Allegedly Causing False Claims to Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE Related to the Sale of Masks Designed to Treat Sleep Apnea
Bill brought his considerable experience and knowledge of whistleblower/qui tam cases to the private sector after serving two terms as a U.S. Attorney, and he continues to help whistleblowers seek to hold companies accountable for fraud against the government. The following Department of Justice press release highlights a case in which Bill Nettles and Fran Trapp, now our attorneys, represented whistleblowers and recovered millions on behalf of the U.S. government:1,4
Bill left the U.S. Attorney’s Office in 2016 to help private whistleblowers like you — but the positive effects of his historic tenure are still being felt and studied. The Federal Lawyer, the official magazine of the Federal Bar Association, recently profiled Bill as a visionary who used new methods, combined with a fierce dedication to helping others, in order to pursue true justice in South Carolina:

Whistleblower Attorneys
If you’re wondering if it’s a good idea to speak with a whistleblower lawyer about what you know, let us set the record straight.
- Corporate ethics hotlines can be risky and may lead to termination. If you’ve already done this, call us immediately.
- Your coworkers could be aware of the fraud – or complicit in it – and you should not talk to them about it.
- The first claim to be filed under the False Claims Act can proceed – if you’re not first, you’re at a serious disadvantage and may get nothing (another reason not to speak to your coworkers about it).
- A confidential discussion costs you a few minutes, but could save you time, stress, and money.
