The Whistleblower's Attorney

The Law Office of David Pearline is a focused legal practice in Virginia Beach dedicated to fighting fraud and corruption. Led by attorney David Pearline, who has been practicing law for over 40 years, the firm specializes in representing "whistleblowers"-brave individuals who expose illegal activities by government contractors. Mr. Pearline operates under the powerful statutes of the False Claims Act, helping citizens sue on behalf of the government when they discover fraud. His practice is built on the belief that integrity matters, and those who steal from taxpayers should be held accountable.

Core Areas of Practice

The firm offers specialized representation in niche areas of employment and fraud law:

• False Claims Act (Qui Tam): Representing individuals who report fraud against the federal or state government, such as Medicare fraud or defense contractor overbilling. These cases can result in significant financial rewards for the whistleblower.
• Employment Discrimination: Advocating for employees who have been treated unfairly based on race, gender, age, or disability.
• Wrongful Discharge: Fighting for workers who have been fired in violation of public policy or employment contracts.
• Wage and Hour Claims: helping employees recover unpaid overtime or wages denied in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
• Employer Defense: The firm also leverages its expertise to defend employers against baseless claims, providing a balanced perspective on employment disputes.

Flexible Fee Structures

David Pearline understands that legal costs can be a barrier to justice. For whistleblower cases under the False Claims Act, he often works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless there is a successful recovery.

He provides free initial consultations for False Claims Act issues, allowing potential clients to assess the viability of their case without financial risk.
