Get Help

WNN does not operate a lawyer referral service and does not provide legal advice. However, we can help point you in the right direction if you’re seeking legal assistance.

We encourage you to use the free legal resources provided below to search for an attorney. Also, we strongly urge every whistleblower to obtain information concerning their rights, which includes:

• Purchasing a copy of Rules for Whistleblowers
• Subscribing to WNN to stay updated on developments relevant to whistleblowers.
• Join the National Whistleblower Center’s Action Alert program to help advocate for better laws protecting whistleblowers.

The law firm of Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto is reviewing intakes at no charge. If you are interested, please fill out an intake.

The National Whistleblower Center operates an attorney referral program that also provides for a pre-review of intakes and the referral to a participating law firm if there is an attorney in the program who may be interested in your case. If you are interested, please submit an intake.

Disclaimer
Neither the Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto nor the National Whistleblower Center have agreed to represent you, and you should continue looking for an attorney while your case is under review. The intakes submitted are confidential under client-attorney privilege. WNN is not responsible for any advice that you receive from anyone, attorney or non-attorney, including the persons listed in the various directories below.

Unfortunately, whistleblowers often have a difficult time obtaining legal counsel. Whistleblower law firms have limited capacity to take on new cases, and the National Whistleblower Center attorney referral program is in the process of recruiting additonal lawyers given the demand.

As a public service to whistleblowers seeking counsel, we have assembled a comprehensive list of other employment related organizations, and state and local bar associations, where whistleblowers can also locate attorneys.

We recommend in the strongest possible terms that any whistleblower seeking an attorney obtain a copy of Rules for Whistleblowers for two reasons, (1) so that you understand your rights and the statute of limitations, and (b) so that you can explain your case better to a prospective attorney.

If you cannot afford to purchase Handbook, you can request a free copy fund@report-fraud-now.info. If you find the Handbook Helpful, please make a donation to the National Whistleblower Center.

We also urge you to subscribe to Whistleblower Network News, a free online newspaper published by the NWLDEF. By accessing the newspaper, you can also access Frequently Asked Questions and other resources explaining your rights as a whistleblower.
