Whistleblower Attorney

It is important for whistleblowers and potential whistle blowers to consult with their whistleblower attorney before taking any action.  People who are involved with an organization who they believe might be violating the law through collusion, fraud, conspiracy or other dangerous acts may want to disclose this to the authorities or to the public in order to protect potential victims.  There are many issues which need to be thoroughly researched by a whistleblower lawyer before any action is taken.

When disclosing information about an organization, whistleblowers need to understand that there may be proprietary information, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other issues as well as potential confidentiality clauses and non-disclosure agreements which can affect what they can reveal and how they can reveal it.  There are also numerous statutory requirements that must be met in order to rely on statutory protection of whistleblowers in various industries.  For this reason it is very important to consult with a good whistleblower attorney before attempting to release any information yourself.

You may also be a journalist, blogger, salesperson, or other free speech advocate who is thinking about, or already have, published information critical of another individual or organization. I can help you craft your message to fall within the protection of the law and avoid liability for defamation. This preventative measure can save you tens of thousands of dollars which you might have to spend to defend a defamation lawsuit, even if you eventually win. Because most plaintiff attorneys will work on contingency, the more clear it is that you are protected by the law, the less chance there will be of any lawsuit. I can also help defend a claim of defamation already brought.

Even though there are laws to protect whistleblowers from discrimination and retribution, these laws are sometimes arbitrarily enforced, fail to cover all potential whistleblowers, and are still not completely effective against others who may be upset with disclosure.  In addition, just because it is against the law to discriminate or inflict retribution on a person who blows the whistle, does not mean it will not happen.  Murder is illegal yet it happens all the time.

In order to avoid unnecessary risk, it is best to protect your personal privacy while you are disclosing valuable information.  This preventitive measure is far better than having to deal with the many potential issues that may arise after disclosure such as harassment, investigation by public and private entities, unwanted media attention, threats, damage to property and many other problems.
