Janel Quinn is a principal at The Employment Law Group® law firm, where she represents whistleblowers who report fraud on the government in the hopes of halting schemes to cheat U.S. taxpayers.. Ms. Quinn seeks protection, vindication, and rewards for her whistleblower clients through various methods and statutes including: the federal False Claims Act (FCA) and its state equivalents; the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; the IRS whistleblower rewards program and the Taxpayer First Act; and the Financial Institutions Anti-Fraud Enforcement Act of 1990.. She also pursues employment claims for clients who are fired or otherwise punished for raising concerns about fraud, wrongdoing, or misconduct in the workplace.. Since joining the firm in 2012, Ms. Quinn’s cases have exposed fraud against numerous federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.. Her notable victories for clients include:. After working on many qui tam cases, Ms. Quinn got the opportunity to take over and manage the day-to-day operations of TELG’s qui tam practice in 2018 and now oversees all whistleblower cases. As a result, she works on a large amount of cases simultaneously, but her meticulous nature and time management skills ensure that all cases are handled to meet high standards and all clients remain well informed.. “Whistleblowers do a lot of good work in trying to correct wrongs, and they deserve to be rewarded for their efforts,” Ms. Quinn says. “We want to help potential whistleblowers do what they feel will ultimately bring them peace. Although combatting fraud can be a lengthy, difficult process, for some, they sleep easier at night knowing they didn’t stand by and do nothing.”. Ms. Quinn’s whistleblower practice includes filing qui tam lawsuits in federal courts; submitting robust and actionable tips, complaints, and referrals (TCRs) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and filing Form 211 disclosures with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.. Ms. Quinn also works with government prosecutors during their investigations of clients’ allegations; supports the U.S. Department of Justice in its resolution of intervened qui tam matters; and, where necessary, litigates declined FCA matters in federal district courts.

She received a bachelor’s degree in dietetics with a minor in political communication from James Madison University.

I'm an experienced immigration, human rights, and Consular attorney.  Fully fluent in Spanish and French and can also service clients in Mandarin Chinese.

I'm a plaintiffs trial lawyer practicing in Washington, DC, Maryland, and West Virginia and am very proud to have the opportunity to represent individuals who have been harmed through no fault of their own.. I'm an avid Georgetown Hoyas basketball fan and a Washington football fan.  My baseball loyalties lie with the Washington Nationals.. Beyond fighting for my clients in the courtroom, I fight to keep the court house doors open through my involvment on the Boards of the American Association for Justice and the Public Justice Foundation, as well as my service as Vice President of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, DC.. But the most exciting thing in my life right now is my upcoming wedding in October. I am very much looking forward to marrying my perfect partner, Tracee.

I zealously pursue the best interests of my clients in thier respective legal matters related to real property, including contracts disputes, misrepresentation, fraud, construction defects, and suits involving contractors, real estate agents, and brokers.  I am familiar with cases falling under consumer protection statues, and I have experience with condominium associations.  I offer a 30 minute initial consultation at no cost.  Please feel free to give me a call or leave a message to request a call back.  Thank you.

I worked with councilwomen Hilda Mason. I have exp. working with the dept. of children and families. I have exp. working with the juvenile law clinic.. Every client and referral are deeply appreciated and treated with respect.. I am understanding of different lifestyes and am respectful to the LGBT community.

I work with small businesses, especially those that make or sell food, for their various legal needs, including complying with complex or technical regulations. I also litigate cases at the appellate and trial levels.

I was raised by both my mother and father in the same household.  Family is important to me because I live it everyday...Im the class of '83 and have practiced family law for more than thirty years. I'm a zealous advocate for my clients and more times than note we come out of top.  I am proud to say my clientle come from an array of different cultures and backgrounds.  I also have a culturally diverse staff as well working around the clock to service your legal needs.

I think that one of the most important functions of any lawyer is to keep clients informed and aware of all developments in their cases.  I pride myself on being able to explain the most complicated legal concepts in a way that anyone can understand.  I return calls promptly and keep my clients informed of all developments in their cases.. I fight hard for all my clients.  Not all cases can be won, however, and not every defendant wants to fight the charges.  In those cases I believe that it is most important to get to know each client as an individual and to convey that understanding to the judge.  No one is defined by their worst acts.  I make sure to present a complete and well-rounded picture of the client so that the judge sees a complete human being and not just someone that made a bad choice.. I teach Evidence at American University Law School and am an instructor at the Harvard Law School trial advocacy workshop.. Outside of work I have a lot of cultural interests.  I am an avid theater-goer,  attend the ballet and concerts, watch sports, and spend a lot of time with my dog.
