Petrelli Law Launches New Website To Help Report Fraud Through A Federal Whistleblower Claim

Philadelphia, PA law firm Petrelli Law, P.C. have recently launched a brand new website that is full of resources for people who want to blow the whistle. Through federal whistleblower claims, people are able to report fraud and misconduct. However, since the Snowden, Assange and Manning revelations, people have become reluctant to do so. Hence, Petrelli Law has also added information about the related federal whistleblower laws, ensuring people know what their rights and responsibilities are.

Thomas Petrelli, Jr. from Petrelli Law, P.C. stated that, "We want to work with people who have noticed that their employers or others are involved in unethical or illegal activities, and make sure they are supported in doing the right thing. At the same time, we want to make sure whistleblowers are fully protected as there have been too many cases in which doing the right thing have actually cost people dearly."

U.S. whistleblower laws are quite complex and difficult to understand. The new website has been designed to simplify the information that is out there, thereby enabling people to feel empowered to report illegal or unethical activities when they see it. Indeed, the majority of the whistleblower laws are in place to protect not the federal government or businesses, but to protect the whistleblower.

"We know people have become so weary of blowing the whistle," adds Thomas Petrelli, Jr. "When we see men like Assange living in an embassy for years, people like Manning getting imprisoned, and men like Snowden living in exile in Russia, it is not surprising that people start to think it may be better to keep their mouth shut. We want to encourage them not to do this, but to instead come to us to discuss their case and allow us to give them the protection they need through the various laws that are in place. We are ready to take on whistleblower claims and do what is right."

There are many different laws in place to make sure people are protected from persecution if they whistleblow. These laws cover things like discrimination, employment and more. Petrelli Law, P.C. has included in depth, but understandable, information about this on their new website.
