Companies that do business with federal, state, or local governments often must use Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (‘DBEs”), Women-owned Business Enterprises (“WBEs”), and Minority Business Enterprises (“MBEs”) when they source materials or subcontract work. Governments take this requirement seriously and spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year on contracts with DBE/WBE/MBE components.

Unfortunately, many unscrupulous companies cheat the government by using front companies or “pass throughs” to create the false appearance of an actual DBE. Pass through schemes like this are not only illegal, they cost taxpayers millions of dollars each year.

You can help stop this type of fraud and receive significant financial compensation from the government for reporting DBE/WBE/MBE violations when you see them. Rewards to whistleblowers can range between 15% and 30% of the monies that the government recovers from the wrongdoers.

Many successful fraud whistleblowers have received awards of millions of dollars, and the average compensation exceeds $300,000.

To take advantage of the rewards, you must file a whistleblower lawsuit. We can help. Loevy & Loevy represents our clients on contingency, meaning that you do not have to pay us out of pocket and you owe us nothing unless you receive compensation through your lawsuit.
