In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin sits down with Jason Marcus, partner at Bracker & Marcus in Atlanta, Georgia. Jason has built his career representing whistleblowers under the False Claims Act—standing up for those who risk their careers and reputations to expose fraud against the government.
From Medicare and Medicaid abuse to PPP loan fraud, Jason explains how these cases work, why the stakes are so high, and what it takes to protect clients who are often in fragile and vulnerable positions. He also shares the history of the False Claims Act—dating back to “Lincoln’s Law” during the Civil War—and how it continues to evolve as America’s most powerful tool for fighting fraud.
🔹 What motivates someone to become a whistleblower?
🔹 How do damages and recoveries work in these cases?
🔹 Why empathy and trust matter more than anything when choosing an attorney?
Jason’s story is a powerful reminder that the best lawyers don’t just fight legal battles—they stand beside clients who want to do the right thing.
