False Claims Attorney Two Bridges
You’ve seen something that doesn’t sit right. Maybe it’s Medicare billing that doesn’t match services provided, or government contracts where corners are being cut. That information you have could be worth millions—both to the government and to you.
The government pays whistleblowers between 15% and 30% of whatever they recover. In the last three decades, that’s meant hundreds of millions of dollars going to people who had the courage to speak up. You’re not just doing the right thing—you’re potentially securing your financial future.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: timing matters. Evidence disappears. Other people might file first. The statute of limitations runs out. The longer you wait, the more you risk losing your opportunity entirely.
Qui Tam Attorney Two Bridges
For 20 years, we represented companies like Pfizer, Texaco, Citibank, and Sony as partners in large corporate law firms. We’ve argued cases at the U.S. Supreme Court and worked alongside some of the smartest lawyers in the country.
Now we use that same level of expertise to help individuals take on those same corporations. We know how they think, how they operate, and most importantly, how to beat them.
Two Bridges has always been home to working people who aren’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. From the immigrant families who built this neighborhood to the diverse community that calls it home today, this area understands the value of speaking truth to power. We’re here to make sure you have the same high-quality legal representation that those big corporations have always had.
Retaliation Attorney Two Bridges
First, we meet confidentially to review what you know. No commitment, no pressure. We’ll tell you straight whether you have a case worth pursuing and what kind of timeline we’re looking at.
If you decide to move forward, we file your complaint under seal. That means it stays completely confidential—your employer won’t know about it. Your identity is protected while the government investigates.
The government then has 60 days (though it often takes longer) to decide whether to intervene. If they do, that’s when the real power kicks in. The Department of Justice takes over the heavy lifting, and your chances of a significant recovery go way up.
Throughout this process, you’re protected by federal anti-retaliation laws. If your employer tries to fire you, demote you, or make your life difficult because of your whistleblowing, that’s a separate lawsuit we can file on your behalf.

Whistleblower Law Two Bridges
We work on contingency, which means you don’t pay us unless you win. When you do win, our fees come from the defendant—not from your award.
You get direct access to an attorney with two decades of experience at the highest levels of corporate law. No paralegals handling your case, no getting passed around to junior associates. You work directly with someone who’s been in the trenches.
Two Bridges sits right in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district, surrounded by some of the biggest healthcare systems, financial institutions, and government contractors in the world. That means fraud is happening right in your backyard—and we know exactly how to expose it. Whether it’s a hospital system billing Medicare for services never provided, or a defense contractor cutting corners on government contracts, we’ve seen it all and we know how to win.
How much money can I actually expect from a whistleblower case?
Your reward depends on how much the government recovers and whether they intervene in your case. If the government takes over your case, you typically receive 15-25% of whatever they collect. If they don’t intervene but you win anyway, that percentage can go up to 30%.
We’ve seen awards range from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars. The government has paid over $1 billion in whistleblower awards since 2012. Your specific award depends on the size of the fraud, the strength of your evidence, and how much you help with the investigation.
Remember, these percentages are calculated on the total recovery—which includes not just the money stolen, but also penalties and interest. A $10 million fraud case often results in a $30-40 million total recovery once penalties are added.
What if my employer retaliates against me for filing a whistleblower complaint?
Federal law specifically prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers, and violations carry serious consequences for employers. If you’re fired, demoted, harassed, or discriminated against because of your whistleblowing activities, you can file a separate retaliation lawsuit.
Successful retaliation claims can result in reinstatement to your job at the same seniority level, double back pay plus interest, and compensation for other damages like emotional distress and attorney fees. Some clients end up making more money from their retaliation claim than from the original whistleblower case.
The key is documenting everything. Keep records of any changes in how you’re treated at work after you file your complaint. We help you build a strong retaliation case from day one, so you’re protected no matter what your employer tries to do.
How long does a whistleblower case typically take to resolve?
Most cases take between two and five years to fully resolve, though some settle much faster and others can take longer. The timeline depends on several factors: how complex the fraud is, whether the government intervenes, and how cooperative the defendant is with settlement negotiations.
Cases where the government intervenes typically resolve faster because the Department of Justice has more resources and leverage than private attorneys. Cases that go to trial obviously take longer than those that settle.
The good news is that once your case is filed, you’re protected by anti-retaliation laws regardless of how long the case takes. And remember, your case is filed under seal, so your employer won’t even know about it during the initial investigation period.
Do I need to have proof of fraud before contacting you?
You don’t need to have all the evidence lined up before you call us. What you need is credible, first-hand knowledge of fraudulent activity. The investigation process is designed to uncover additional evidence and witnesses that you might not even know about.
What matters most is that you have “original information”—meaning you know something that isn’t already public knowledge. This could be internal documents, conversations you overheard, billing practices you witnessed, or patterns you noticed that don’t add up.
We’ll help you evaluate what you have during our initial consultation. Sometimes what seems like a small piece of information is actually the key that unlocks a much larger fraud scheme. Don’t assume your information isn’t valuable enough—let us make that determination.
Can I remain anonymous throughout the entire whistleblower process?
Your identity is protected during the initial sealed phase of your case, which can last for months or even years. During this time, your employer and the public have no idea that you’ve filed a complaint.
However, if your case moves forward to litigation, your identity will eventually become known. The good news is that by that point, you’re fully protected by federal anti-retaliation laws, and you have an experienced legal team fighting for your rights.
Some whistleblower programs, like the SEC’s, do allow for complete anonymity throughout the entire process if you’re represented by an attorney. We can discuss which approach makes the most sense for your specific situation during our confidential consultation.
What types of fraud cases do you handle most often?
Healthcare fraud makes up the largest portion of our practice, particularly Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud. This includes hospitals billing for services never provided, upcoding diagnoses to increase reimbursements, and pharmaceutical companies paying kickbacks to doctors.
We also handle significant cases involving government contracting fraud, where companies overcharge the government or provide substandard goods and services. Tax fraud cases are another major area, especially with the increased focus on offshore accounts and unreported income.
Given Two Bridges’ location in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district, we see a lot of securities fraud and banking violations as well. The key is that the fraud has to involve government money or programs in some way—that’s what triggers the False Claims Act protections and rewards that make these cases worthwhile.
