You saw something wrong, and you wanted to do the right thing. And you did the right thing by telling someone.

What did you get for it?

Grief, if you have found this page. You would not be searching for a Sacramento whistleblower attorney had you not been met with grief for doing the right thing.

We know.

We know much of what you know, and unfortunately, we know much of what you are about to learn. This is a hard road to go down. People who do wrong may want to do wrong to you. People who do wrong will not hesitate to gaslight you into thinking that you are crazy, that you are imagining things, or that things are not as bad as they are.

Ever sat in a boardroom with the CEO of your company and told him that he and a host of other people were doing things that could send them to prison for a really long time? Get laughed at when you told them?

Right now, you are worried about your entire career moving forward. You are (appropriately) scared. You are worried about your family, or at a minimum, yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. In California, you are protected from retaliation for your whistleblowing once you report the unlawful activity to someone you reasonably believe is in a position to stop it. That can be as simple as reporting it to your supervisor.

That answer may depend on how involved you were in the conduct prior to your whistleblowing. If you have, or are considering, reporting a crime that has taken place at work, the criminal law requires a certain mens rea for there to be a criminal charge. In other words, depending on what you are reporting, this can be a specific intent to commit the crime in question, or it can be something like a reckless disregard that the crime would be committed. All that said, the government also wants people to come forward who want to report wrongdoing. They are reluctant to burn sources. Our advice is to get a lawyer and have them get you immunity up front. Sleep better. Get a lawyer first.

No, actually.
