More than $22 billion of taxpayer funds have been recovered under the False Claims Act over the past two decades. Frohsin & Barger attorneys have represented whistleblowers in groundbreaking cases and have also assisted corporations in self-reporting and successfully defending against meritless cases. Frohsin & Barger combines the persepective of seasoned federal prosecutors, investigative agents, and defense attorneys, offering the unique and important perspective of understanding both sides of whistleblower litigation—the strategy of the successful plaintiff and defendant. Our Whistleblower Litigation Team is headed by one of the most often cited legal scholars on qui tam and False Claims Act litigation, whose writing in some cases has actually shaped the law itself. Jim Barger's legal writing on the False Claims Act has been cited by state legislators in adopting qui tam statutes and is specifically cited in the annotations of at least one state False Claims Act. Additionally, Barger's writing is frequently cited in legal treatises, court pleadings, and journals, including Alabama Law Review, Boston University Law Review, Cardozo Law Review, and Columbia Law Review, among others.
