As a Seattle False Claims Act lawyer and whistleblowing attorney, I represent employees in “whistleblower” actions and those exposing fraud against the federal government in False Claims Act / Qui Tam actions.
I am available to represent clients in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Alaska, and throughout the United States.
Whistleblower, Fraud Reporting, Illegal Retaliation & Qui Tam
The Federal False Claims Act and many state law equivalents forbid any person or entity from presenting, or influencing another to present, to the government an untrue or deceitful request for payment. These laws encompass various goods, services, and government contracts, and have proven highly successful in helping the government to recover billions of dollars from illegal and fraudulent practices including:
COVID & PPP Fraud
Government COVID and PPP programs provided a lifeline to many. Unfortunately, some took illegal advantage of these programs for self-profit.
Billing the government for “off-label” prescriptions is illegal. However, some physicians are encouraged to bill the government by pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
Some institutions benefit from student loans while failing to comply with government educational mandates, leaving students with thousands in debt and unemployed.
Discrimination, Illegal Work Practices, Wrongful Termination & Personal Injury
I represent employees subjected to illegal workplace discrimination, other unlawful work practices, and those who have been wrongfully terminated. I also represent clients in personal injury matters and serve as an employment mediator and arbitrator in injury and employment lawsuits.
I am proud to have recovered millions of dollars for clients in whistleblower, government fraud, wrongful termination, and illegal workplace conduct cases (including sexual harassment and racial discrimination).
I champion the underdog – often the person fighting back against large corporations and others engaged in wrongful work practices and government fraud.
Mr. Teller was incredibly helpful to during a difficult stretch of time with my employer. He was always highly professional and courteous in helping me to understand my workplace right. He kept me informed on what open legal avenues I could pursue. I would recommend him to any friend or colleagues seeking legal help on an employment issue.

Attorney Teller was a tremendous help to me when I was in need of legal guidance. I reached out to him early on a Sunday morning and he got back to me immediately.
I highly recommend Teller Law and I will certainly refer other colleagues in the future that may require legal guidance in the state of Washington.

I cannot speak highly enough of Teller Law. Teller Law was recommended to me as a ” go to” by one of the top lawyers in Seattle whose firm was not a good fit for my particular situation; Teller Law fit perfectly.
Stephen Teller is an outstanding combination of academic excellence, knowledge of law and personal style…

Steve Teller represented me on a case that we closed just today. While I don’t know him well (yet), I am extremely impressed with both his persona and practice. He went out of his way to be extraordinarily respectful of some of my differences, and genuinely fought hard for me…

Stephen Teller has literally saved me $80,000. I have had to consult with him on two separate occasions throughout the past 20 years, and armed with his direction and advice, I was able to come out of two different situations with the resolution that I desired, and my bonus in-hand. I highly recommend him and his staff, and could not be happier with the dealings that I’ve had with his firm.
