Los Angeles Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Action Attorneys
Protecting Employees Who Blow the Whistle on Their Employers
It is up to individuals and employees to help hold businesses accountable for securities violations and other violations of law. However, fear of retribution from an employer or the mark left on your professional reputation may keep you from wanting to blow the whistle on securities violations and other violations of law you discover.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, often referred to as Dodd-Frank, protects whistleblowers. It also provides financial incentives to those who inform the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) of high-value securities violations.

Financial Incentives and Privacy for Whistleblowers
Dodd-Frank provides a financial incentive to employees and individuals with knowledge of violations of the securities and other laws. If you voluntarily submit original information to the SEC or CFTC that results in an enforcement action valued at $1 million or more, you may be able to collect 10 to 30 percent of the amount collected. Additionally, Dodd-Frank allows whistleblowers to maintain their anonymity by informing the authorities of the violation through an attorney.
Protection From Retaliation
Whistleblowers are further protected from retaliation by their employers. If you believe you were fired, demoted or unfairly treated in retaliation for whistle blowing, you may be able to bring an action against your employer for compensation or reinstatement.
