A National Reputation for Success
Fighting for Whistleblowers and the American Taxpayer for Over 20 Years
In our business, experience matters. At Wilbanks & Gouinlock, we have evaluated hundreds of cases and we have represented whistleblowers in every major category of fraud that has been perpetrated against state and federal governments over the last two decades.
Discover Why W&G is the Right Choice for Your Whistleblower Case:
- How you tell a client’s story in the complaint that you file on their behalf is very important.
- Knowing where to file the case can be crucial to its success.
- Having the respect of defense counsel across the country is an important asset that we deliver to our clients.
- A long and established reputation of working well with the Government attorneys within the Department of Justice is an asset that most attorneys in this area of specialization do not possess.
The bottom line for our clients is this: if we file a case on their behalf, we are exorcising our experienced judgement that the case is meritorious and important. We will not file a case that we do not believe in and we put our client’s interest first in deciding whether or not each and every case should be filed and made public.
