State and Local Government Fraud
Fraud that is committed against the Federal government is typically covered under the False Claims Act. Because the act only covers fraudulent actions on a federal level, many states have put provisions in place to allow for Qui Tam action on the state level.
The specific details of Qui Tam laws can vary from state-to-state, so it is important to consult an experienced attorney to discuss your legal options and determine what action you can take on behalf of your local or state government. For help with a state and local government fraud case, contact the Qui Tam attorneys of Tycko & Zavareei, LLP at 202-973-0900 today.
