Experience

Tony’s goal is to make his client’s problems his problems. Along with a focus on qui tam provisions of the Federal and State False Claims Acts, Tony handles cases under the IRS Whistleblower Law and through the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission Whistleblower Programs created by the Dodd-Frank Act.

Tony has conducted seminars on the False Claims Act, including on the international application of whistleblower laws and the right of individuals to pursue claims on behalf of their government, at the Open University in Budapest, Hungary. He also taught attorneys in the U.S. on the practical requirements for pursuing False Claims Act cases at the National Whistleblower Center, in Washington, DC and at the Mass Torts Made Perfect Convention.

At Price Benowitz, Tony created a new qui tam practice by advising lawyers – in particular, employment law specialists – on the procedures required to handle False Claims Act cases. With more than 20 years in the practice, he helps those attorneys determine if their clients can pursue whistleblower rewards along with employment law or retaliation cases.
