When looking for a whistleblower attorney New York clients, and clients from other places, are often concerned that their attorney will lose interest in them if a “bigger” client comes along. That is not the case at The Pickholz Law Offices. The Pickholz Law Offices was founded on the principle that “every case is the most important case to the client involved”.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, if someone voluntarily provides information about a fraud or other violation to the SEC, and the SEC brings a successful action based in part or in whole on that information, in which it collects more than $1 million, the SEC is required to give the eligible whistleblower(s) a monetary award of between 10% - 30% of the amount collected. That may be why, if you have been searching the Internet for whistleblower attorneys in New York, you have probably seen results for a lot of law firms claiming that they are the “best” law firm to hire to win “a pot of gold” for you.

The SEC is not the same as any other agency out there. It is its own separate agency, with its own separate rules and procedures that it has developed for over 80 years, and with its own separate whistleblower program. The Dodd-Frank Act and the SEC Rules contain a lot of requirements and rules that must be satisfied in order to be eligible to receive an SEC whistleblower award. How many times do those other whistleblower attorneys in New York say that they have actually walked side-by-side with clients into the SEC’s offices and helped their clients successfully explain their story to a room full of SEC lawyers?
Mr. Pickholz has spent his career -- since long before the SEC whistleblower program began -- helping clients who wanted to go in and tell the SEC about frauds or other violations that they had discovered, or who were asked by the SEC to come in and talk to it about frauds that they might have had information about.
