Whistleblower / Qui Tam
Unfortunately, some individuals and companies steal money from federal and state governments by filing fraudulent and false claims allowing them to obtain money to which they are not entitled. Likewise, our federal and state governments have limited resources with which to track down and prosecute these offenders. Therefore, the United States government, as well as the State of Texas, have adopted laws that entitle a whistleblower who brings fraud to the attention of the proper authorities to keep a portion of the proceeds ultimately recovered in what’s legally called a qui tam lawsuit.
Contract Disputes
The Houston contract disputes lawyers of Minces Rankin have experience representing clients in a wide variety of contract disputes. We help clients determine and navigate the best course of action whenever a contract dispute arises. If you were injured as the result of a contract dispute, you may be owed damages, but that can depend on the terms of the contract regarding damages, the subject matter of the contract, and what damages were incurred as a result of the breach.
Business Fraud
Business fraud can arise in every industry and in every type of business relationship. While the facts and details are always different, the common theme is usually that an individual or business entity intentionally deceived another party in order to gain an advantage. Anyone who is involved in business transactions can be at risk for business fraud. One of the most common types of business fraud in Texas is partnership fraud, also known as member fraud, joint venture fraud, corporate fraud, or co-owner fraud.
