A whistleblower lawyer is the legal professional to turn to if you are considering coming forward with allegations of serious wrongdoing at your place of work, or if you have already exposed the conduct and are facing retaliation from your employer. Examples of serious wrongdoing reported by whistleblowers are very plentiful. Just a few categories of whistleblowing examples include:

• accounting fraud
• securities or other financial misdeeds
• health and/or safety violations
• misleading statements to the public
• abuse of authority
• dereliction of duty
• tax evasion
• regulatory violations
• abuse or waste of taxpayers' money

Private corporations, individuals and governmental entities have been repeatedly found to be engaging in violations of laws or regulations. Companies such as Enron, Worldcom, and Halliburton; individuals such as Bernard Madoff; and government entities such as the U.S. Department of Defense have been involved in some of the most famous whistleblowing cases.

A Whistleblower Lawyer's Role

A whistleblower lawyer's role is to protect the whistleblower's rights and counter the efforts by an employer to retaliate against a whistleblower. In many cases of whistleblowing, the employer takes action to penalize the whistleblower, "persuade" him or her to quit, or simply makes life miserable for him or her. An experienced whistleblower attorney has the knowledge and skills to obtain a fair legal remedy for a client damaged by such retaliation.

A Complex Field of Law

Whistleblower law is not a simple matter, and the laws that are intended for whistleblower protection are relatively new. There are many details and interpretations of case law and precedents to deal with, and an individual whistleblower seeking representation would be wise to find a law firm or attorney that specializes in this complex legal field.

• There are several federal and state statutes that serve to protect whistleblowers of various types. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is a federal law enacted after the massive financial frauds at Enron and WorldCom. Its purpose (in part) is to protect employees who report misdeeds at publicly traded companies.
• Another federal law, the Whistleblower Protection Act, provides protection for employees of the federal government who take steps to expose fraud, waste and abuse.
• The Energy Reorganization Act protects employees and contractors who reveal violations of nuclear safety standards and regulations.
• A number of states have their own whistleblower-protection statutes. A whistleblower lawyer can tell you whether a state law also applies to your case.
