Proven Partners In Fighting Crime
Getnick Law is uniquely qualified: In the early 1990s, the firm created a private economic crime unit to fight Medicare and Medicaid fraud under our nation’s whistleblower laws, including the federal False Claims Act (a statute first enacted during the Civil War). Over the last 30 years, the firm has recovered over a billion dollars for federal and state agencies with a series of record-breaking cases. These successes set the following records at the time they were achieved: the largest federal False Claims Act recovery; the largest Medicaid recovery under the Act; and the largest single whistleblower recovery. Getnick Law was also involved in obtaining a massive fraud recovery on behalf of Blue Cross and other healthcare insurers against a major drug company, which arose from a prior whistleblower case handled by the firm.
On another front, Getnick Law has been a long-time leader in the area of independent monitoring. The firm has also served as an independent integrity monitor for what is generally recognized as the most important monitorship program in the nation’s history: the post-9/11 World Trade Center disaster clean-up. That program led to a highly unusual, and in some respects unique, post-disaster outcome. The disaster clean-up was completed ahead of time, below budget, and in full compliance with specifications. A Congressional investigative committee called the monitorship program a “best practice [that] caught and deterred fraud.” Read Neil Getnick’s Congressional testimony and the Committee’s report.
These successes were achieved with a methodology that Getnick Law has developed and refined over three decades. Our methodology employs multi-disciplinary teams in cooperation with government prosecutors and investigators. The resulting public/private partnerships have generated unparalleled results.
