Whistleblower Cases

Attorneys Representing Whistleblowers in Dallas

We Offer Legal Support for Qui Tam & Retaliation Claims

Marchand Law represents individuals who speak out against Medicare and Medicaid fraud, pharmaceutical company fraud, government contractor fraud, and any other fraud on the federal government. We know that becoming a whistleblower often feels like stepping into uncharted territory, full of uncertainty and risk. If you’ve witnessed potential fraud in Texas or anywhere else, you need legal support that’s proactive, compassionate, and ready for complex legal challenges.

Led by a husband-and-wife team with over 60 years of combined experience handling personal injury and whistleblower cases, our firm approaches whistleblower claims with strategic precision and a client-first mindset. Whistleblower cases are among the most legally complex types of cases, and should be handled only by attorneys with years of experience handling them, and working with the United States Department of Justice and the Civil Medicaid Fraud Division of the Texas Attorney General’s Office. We fight for our clients' rights to compensation after blowing the whistle on fraud or serious retaliation for speaking out about fraud, and helping individuals and professionals find a path forward during difficult times.

If you’ve experienced retaliation or believe misconduct is affecting public funds, get legal guidance now. Submit the online form or call (903) 345-1807 for a private review.

Understanding Available Legal Protections for Whistleblowers in Texas

The Texas Whistleblower Act safeguards public employees who report illegal activity by their government employers in good faith to appropriate authorities. This protection extends to employees of local and state government entities, including education, law enforcement, and public service sectors. While private-sector whistleblowers have more limited protections under Texas law, certain federal statutes such as the False Claims Act and Dodd-Frank Act may apply.

To establish a retaliation claim under the Texas Whistleblower Act, several factors must be met:

The whistleblower was a public employee
The report was made in good faith to an appropriate law enforcement authority
The reported conduct was unlawful
The employer took adverse action in response to the report

Retaliation can take many forms beyond termination, including demotion, harassment, or other unjust treatment. Understanding these protections can help you navigate your rights and options.

Types of Whistleblower Cases We Handle

Our firm focuses on claims where individuals risk professional fallout to report wrongs—without leaving them to fight alone:

False billing and fraudulent claims under Qui Tam / False Claims Act
Retaliation for safety or regulatory reporting under whistleblower protection laws
Waste, abuse, and misuse of public funds or contracts
Medicare/Medicaid fraud, especially in healthcare billing or services

We gather detailed documentation, identify patterns, file sealed claims per statutory requirements, and prepare cases that can succeed even if the government declines to intervene.

Legal Remedies We Offer

Texas law provides several remedies for whistleblowers subjected to retaliation, including:

Reinstatement to Your Position
Compensation for Lost Wages and Benefits
Damages for Emotional Distress and Pain
Attorney’s Fees and Costs
Potential Punitive Damages in Certain Cases

The law also places the burden of proof on employers to show that adverse actions were not based on whistleblowing, especially if dismissals or disciplinary actions occur within one year of the report. This legal framework is designed to discourage retaliation and encourage reporting of unlawful conduct.

Who Is Covered Under State & Federal Whistleblower Laws?

Employees in healthcare, public services, contract administration
Insiders noticing wrongful billing, wasteful spending, or safety violations
Individuals who filed internal complaints and faced negative employer actions
Relators filing Qui Tam suits—even when government authorities decline intervention

Our clients include caring professionals who saw violations and chose integrity over silence—and then faced repercussions.
