Ari Yampolsky, Esq.

Practice Summary

I solely represent whistleblowers under several whistleblower-reward laws. The mainstay of my practice is representing clients with claims under the False Claims Act. That law allows individuals who have information about government contractors defrauding the government to sue on the government's behalf and get a portion of the government's recovery. Cases involving healthcare providers and companies are the most common because so many public dollars flow to that industry. But I also represent False Claims Act whistleblowers who know about fraud in government procurement contracts, federal grants, and customs duty evasion. I also represent clients who submit tips to the whistleblower-reward programs run by several federal agencies, which generally pay tipsters for information about violations of the laws that the agencies enforce. These agencies include the Securities and Exchange Commission (for securities law violations), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (for misconduct in the commodities markets), the Internal Revenue Service (for underpayments of taxes), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (for sanctions evasion and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (for vehicle safety violations).
