Malecki Law’s New York Whistleblower lawyers know that it often takes the courage of whistleblowers to call out covertly illegal business practices. In July 2010, the United States government passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This reform aims for increased public watch and censure of misconduct in state and national economic affairs. Dodd-Frank takes precise strides to protect the whistleblowers within the finance industry, as well as compensate anyone who believes that they know of wrongdoing, regardless of whether they worked for or with the company or not. Our whistleblower attorneys in New York can guide you in filing a tip. Even rumors, if they can be substantiated, could generate a whistleblowing award, up to 30% of a total recovery greater than $1,000,000.

Dodd-Frank further punishes employers who mistreat, threaten, or otherwise persecute whistleblowers offering information to towards any regulatory action. Whistleblowers can remain anonymous and if they are retaliated against, our whistleblower law firm in New York routinely files a separate tip or action, even in the same matter, if retaliation occurs.
