Florida False Claims Act
The Maglio Law Firm represents whistleblowers in Florida False Claims act cases. If you are a private citizen who becomes aware that a company or organization is defrauding the government of the State of Florida, you can bring suit for the fraud on behalf of the government. If the suit is successful, you can receive up to 30% of what is recovered. The Maglio Law Firm represents private citizens in such suits.
Examples of fraud covered by the Florida False Claims Act include fraudulent Medicaid billing, abuse of state grants, and the knowing sale of defective products to the state. If false information is given to the state and that false information is in some way connected to the state making expenditures, there is a potential Florida False Claims Act case.
