If you are thinking about blowing the whistle on waste, fraud, abuse, or illegality, you MUST do two things before going public. First, seek out advice from groups like the Whistleblower Support Network. They will guide you through the process. Second, hire an attorney familiar with whistleblower issues BEFORE you blow the whistle. You’ve chosen a righteous path. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be right.
