A whistleblower attorney is a lawyer who will help a whistleblower at a company. Perhaps you saw something that was wrong at your workplace, wanted to lodge a formal complaint, or demystify illegal behavior at your company. A whistleblower attorney can help you in all of these areas.

Perhaps you saw something in your workplace that you thought was wrong but you weren't quite sure how to go about prosecuting that individual. A whistleblower attorney would probably counsel you to keep stringent documentation about the issue at hand. Let's say someone in your office was doing something they shouldn't have, and you found out it occurred repeated times. Instead of staying silent, you decide to do something, and document all these actions whenever they happen. That is when you would see your whistleblower attorney and tell him or her what had happened, and recount the events exactly as you saw them unfold. This would be your chance to change the way things are done in your workplace.

In order to lodge a formal complaint, the whistleblower attorney of yours would have to have documentation--names, dates, and occurrences of exactly everything that was happening that you thought might be against the law. Then, it would be up to your attorney to determine how best to go about either lodging a formal complaint, or setting in place a motion in the court system. It is really up to your attorney what he or she thinks is advisable. Really, whether the issue can be taken to court or not depends upon its legal feasibility.

Illegal behavior at your company can be one of the primary reasons a person will seek out a whistleblower attorney. These types of lawyers will work non-stop to ensure that any illegal behavior is summarily reported and documented, in order so that if any legal actions are indeed taken, it will preclude the defendant from admitting evidence to the contrary of what the prosecution is saying. One of the most satisfying aspects of these cases being taken on by your whistleblower attorney is that you will know that you are doing the right thing by demystifying illegal behaviors.

Hiring a whistleblower attorney can solve many of your legal dilemmas. If you are the whistleblower in your company, don't hesitate to get adequate legal representation for all your real or anticipated legal needs.
