Whistleblower cases

Texas Whistleblower-Protection Attorneys

We help people deal with financial and psychological injuries caused when they are fired or suffer other retaliation because they did the right thing. Our lawyers at Ferguson Firm in Beaumont, Texas, are dedicated to helping people obtain redress when they have experienced wrongful termination or harassment because they reported legal violations by their employers. For example, if an employee protested age discrimination against another worker and then was fired, he or she might have a whistleblower case under federal employment law. Contact our law firm if you have experienced retaliation or harassment on the job. Call our Beaumont or Jasper office for a free initial consultation.

Retaliation

Our clients have included public employees, such as police officers or post-office employees, who reported violations of the law by their departments and were forced out of their jobs in retaliation. We have also represented professionals, such as engineers, accountants, and nurses, who complained about or refused to participate in illegal or unethical behavior and experienced retaliatory actions. As a result of our efforts, many clients received compensation for their lost wages and other damages from employer retaliation.

Qui Tam

We also represent private citizens who reveal fraud, waste, and corruption in government agencies. This area of the law, known as qui tam, allows whistleblowers to receive percentages of the public funds recovered as a result of their lawsuits on behalf of the government. The Whistleblower Protection Act makes retaliation in this type of case against the law.

If you have reported illegal behavior and suffered retaliation, or plan to report waste and fraud on the part of government contractors, Ferguson Firm can help. Contact us at our Beaumont or Jasper office to learn about your options.
