At Akeel & Valentine, PLC, We Believe Justice Is Worth Fighting For
The mission of Akeel & Valentine, PLC, is to combat fraud, hate, and corruption™ in all its forms. We have the courage, tenacity, and skill needed to seek justice against powerful entities nationwide.
Leaders In False Claims Act /
Qui Tam Cases
Every year, unscrupulous individuals and companies defraud the government to the tune of billions of dollars. These are not victimless crimes. The guilty parties often prey upon vulnerable people.
At Akeel & Valentine, we believe that this behavior is wrong, and we work hard to combat it. We are lawyers who have vast experience shepherding qui tam whistleblower lawsuits under the federal False Claims Act. We can help you understand how to move forward with what you know regarding fraud and wrongdoing by others. We have handled cases nationwide.
Attorneys Who Stand With Whistleblowers
Whistleblowers play a crucial role in our society, exposing fraud and protecting the lives, health and safety of their fellow Americans. Whistleblowers shed light on fraud in all its manifestations, including pharmaceutical fraud, Medicare/Medicaid fraud and government contractor fraud.
But whistleblowers face many pitfalls, including risks to their own careers, and the information they possess can be lost without the help and guidance of an experienced whistleblower attorney. At Akeel & Valentine, we have the specific knowledge needed to expose wrongdoing while protecting whistleblowers from retaliation..
Employment Discrimination
And Class Actions
Employment and class-action litigation require passionate lawyers who understand the complexity and embrace the challenge. Using the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Civil Rights Act and other statutes, we help protect consumers and the public from unethical and predatory behavior of businesses and corporations.
We represent individuals throughout the U.S. who have suffered illegal discrimination or sexual harassment in the workplace or in the community. In our class-actions practice, we join forces with other law firms to seek justice on a large scale for patterns of wrongdoing.
Full Justice ForA Wrongful Conviction
Gaining freedom after spending years in prison for a crime you did not commit is only a half-measure of justice. At Akeel & Valentine, we help individuals who have been exonerated pursue compensation through wrongful conviction lawsuits. Under federal code or state statutes like Michigan’s Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act, you can seek monetary damages for the years of your life that were taken, as well as the toll of illness and injury, being unjustly branded a sex offender or felon, and being separated from your family. They expect you to be grateful that your prison ordeal is over and your name is cleared. But you have every right to be angry and to demand to be repaid for your profound suffering and loss.
