Sample matters

Six sample matters, and their small print

  • $318,000

    Relator’s share, a billing case against a contractor

    A billing analyst documented invoices for work that was never done. The government joined, the contractor settled, and her share followed.

    Her share, before my fee and case costs.

  • Reinstated

    Retaliation claim, a compliance officer

    She was demoted a week after she raised a pricing concern with her own manager. The company restored her title and paid back pay before a hearing.

    The terms stay private, so no figure is shown.

  • $92,000

    Award, an SEC tip about revenue booked early

    An accountant reported sales counted before they were earned. The agency acted on the tip and later made an award.

    The award, before my fee.

  • $41,500

    Settlement, a firing after a tax report

    A bookkeeper told her employer’s owner that payroll tax was being kept. Two weeks later she was let go. The claim settled before she filed suit.

    Before my fee and costs.

  • Claim filed

    Qui tam complaint, a grant program

    A grants administrator saw public money obtained with false statements. The complaint was filed under seal and the government is still reviewing it.

    2025 · Sample matter

    No recovery yet; there may never be one.

  • Declined

    A case I told the client not to file

    The concern was real, but the records showed an error, not fraud. I said so on the first call and he kept his job.

    Telling people no is part of the work.

Invented sample matters that show the kind of work; an owner replaces them with real ones. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case turns on its own facts and evidence, and no award is ever promised.
