In fact, John R. Phillips is "the nation's premier whistleblower attorney," according to the National Law Journal and The Wall Street Journal. In April, the National Law Journal named him one of the 100 most influential lawyers in the country. We provide these pages to assist potential whistleblowers and anyone seeking information about the False Claims Act. This law allows anyone who knows of fraud against the federal government to bring a case against the company committing the fraud and grants the whistleblower a share of whatever money the government recovers. In addition, California, Illinois, Tennessee, Florida, Texas and the District of Columbia have false claims statutes that authorize individuals to bring claims in state courts in instances where any local or state government has been defrauded. Phillips & Cohen's clients are located nationwide. We have offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and San Diego. Please see our "addresses and phone numbers" page for information on contacting us. These pages should not be construed to contain legal advice. An attorney can give specific advice only after the facts of a case are known.
