Should you talk to a whistleblower attorney first?

Not strictly required here — only required for anonymous filing.

Statistically, represented whistleblowers recover awards far more often than unrepresented ones, and reporting through the wrong channel — or second — can forfeit your reward entirely. Because whistleblower attorneys work on contingency, a consultation costs nothing.
