Whistleblower Protection
The Employment Law Group® law firm: We Protect Employees and Their Careers
The Employment Law Group® law firm is experienced in protecting whistleblowers. In the case of Shen v. Shinski, our attorneys protected the job of a whistleblower by obtaining a rare order from a federal court that prevented the VA from terminating a Title 38 doctor while her complaint was pending. Additionally, The Employment Law Group® succeeded in protecting a VA physician’s job by overturning her suspension.
The Employment Law Group® law firm recently obtained:
- An $819,000 verdict on behalf of a federal research grant recipient who reported the misuse of government funds in violation of the anti-retaliation provisions of the False Claims Act.
- A $650,000 jury verdict in a gender discrimination anti-retaliation lawsuit

Our results and dedication to workers have earned The Employment Law Group® the Labor & Employment Law Firm of the Year Award from Lawyer Monthly for 2011 and 2012.
No one should be punished for doing the right thing, especially those with the courage and integrity to blow the whistle on corporate fraud or other illegal activities. Congress has enacted several laws that provide whistleblowers with both protection from retaliation and monetary rewards.
There’s a wide range of whistleblower laws designed to protect employees like you. Whether you have suffered retaliation because you did the right thing and spoke out when your employer violated the law or acted improperly, or whether you have information but are afraid to speak out, The Employment Law Group®is here to help because Whistleblower Protection is provided by law.

- Fraud against the government including Medicare fraud and procurement fraud (qui tam)
