Scottsdale Wrongful Termination Attorney
In Arizona and across the country, there are businesses large and small that defraud the government in various ways. An employee who recognizes illegal or fraudulent acts by an employer may bring a lawsuit against the employer. These employees are referred to as whistleblowers and are entitled to protection under state and federal law.
At the Tyler Allen Law Firm, we help employees wishing to stop the illegal acts of their employers by filing qui tam actions. A qui tam action refers to a lawsuit brought by an employee under the federal False Claims Act, which allows employees to sue employers who have defrauded the government.

How Does a Whistleblower Claim Work?
There are a number of fraudulent acts in which employers may engage that are grounds for a whistleblower claim, including:
- Medicare fraud
- Securities fraud
- Social Security fraud
- Tax fraud
When you come to the Tyler Allen Law Firm, we will advise you on whether there is enough evidence to pursue a claim. If so, we will counsel you on any additional steps you can take to protect your job. We understand that you may be apprehensive about suing your employer for fraud or any other wrongful act. Keep in mind that these lawsuits are filed under seal, meaning that neither your employer nor your co-workers will know that you have filed a lawsuit. In addition to filing the suit under seal, you can benefit by actually getting a share of the recovery if the court rules against your employer.
Employee Protection
As a whistleblower, you are protected from retaliation by your employer, such as demotion or firing (wrongful termination). If you suffer any kind of retaliation after filing a whistleblower claim, a lawyer at our firm can aggressively stand up for your rights in court and hold the employer liable for additional damages.
