Whistleblower lawyers based in Washington DC handling False Claims Act qui tam lawsuits nationwide

Representing Whistleblowers for Over 25 Years

At Vogel, Slade & Goldstein, the only thing as important as holding accountable those who defraud the American taxpayer is protecting our whistleblower clients and rewarding them for their courage. As former U.S. Department of Justice fraud trial attorneys, VSG’s qui tam attorneys have pursued over one hundred False Claims Act cases and are nationally recognized leaders in winning rewards for their clients.

At our whistleblower law firm, your case will be personally handled by one of our named partners, each of whom has spent over 25 years focused almost exclusively on False Claims Act matters. We are unique among firms that practice qui tam law in that we do not hand off cases to junior partners or associates.
