Nolan Auerbach & White

What Nolan Auerbach & White does

Nolan Auerbach & White is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based law firm organized as a Florida Limited Liability Partnership that operates exclusively in the healthcare-fraud qui tam practice area under the federal False Claims Act. The firm represents individual relators (whistleblowers) who report fraud against federal healthcare programs — including Medicare, Medicaid, hospital systems, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical-device companies, Medicare Part D plans, and the COVID-19 HRSA Uninsured Program — and litigates these matters in federal courts nationwide. Practice is delivered through a small partnership of senior attorneys, including Founding Partner Kenneth J. Nolan, Managing Partner Marcella Auerbach (a former DOJ federal prosecutor with 25+ years of experience), Partner Joseph E.B. White, Partner Matthew B. Pavone (a former First Assistant U.S. Attorney and DOJ Exceptional Service Award recipient), and Medical Research and Clinical Reimbursement Director Fred I. Polsky, MD.

The firm operates a contingency-fee business model: as is typical for qui tam matters, attorneys' fees are paid as a percentage of government recoveries under FCA rules, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. Client acquisition is community-led and referral-driven, supported by a content-rich website (whistleblowerfirm.com) that functions as a knowledge base and intake channel; the firm does not run paid acquisition. The firm has represented 36 successful healthcare-fraud whistleblowers and reports combined civil and criminal recoveries arising out of its cases exceeding $2 billion, including the $184 million Johnson & Johnson off-label marketing matter with relator Joe Strom, the $37 million Dignity Health matter with relator Kathleen Hawkins, the $27.5 million South Texas Health Systems matter with relator Bruce A. Moilan Sr., and the $39+ million Daiichi Sankyo matter.

The firm does not operate a technology platform, software product, or AI system; its 'product' is legal representation delivered by senior attorneys. There is no corporate parent, institutional investor, or subsidiary structure — ownership and decision-making rest with the named partners as a Florida LLP. Service delivery is restricted to federal FCA matters litigated in federal courts; the firm does not take state-court work or pure state-law claims. Intake is concentrated on a single toll-free line (800-372-8304) and the firm's website.

Comparable to NAW in contingency-driven healthcare fraud litigation, though significantly larger in scale and broader in scope.
• Phillips & Cohen LLP: One of the longest-established qui tam whistleblower law firms in the U.S., representing relators in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and government-contracting fraud cases under the False Claims Act. Directly comparable to NAW in practice area, contingency model, and federal-court focus.
• Ashcraft & Gerel LLP: Long-running plaintiffs' firm with a dedicated qui tam / whistleblower practice representing relators in healthcare and pharmaceutical fraud matters. Comparable to NAW in contingency-based federal FCA healthcare whistleblower representation.
• Berger Montague PC: Plaintiffs' firm with a substantial whistleblower / False Claims Act practice, including healthcare fraud cases. Comparable to NAW in qui tam plaintiff representation under the federal FCA.
• Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP: Plaintiffs' complex litigation firm with a notable whistleblower/qui tam practice including healthcare fraud cases against pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Comparable to NAW in plaintiff-side qui tam healthcare work.

• Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto LLP: Whistleblower-focused firm representing SEC, FCA, and IRS whistleblowers, with substantial healthcare fraud qui tam work. Comparable to NAW in contingency-based representation of relators in federal whistleblower cases.

Emerging players

• Taxpayers Against Fraud Education Fund: Whistleblower advocacy organization publishing research on FCA recoveries and supporting relator outreach. Adjacent to NAW's brand and content marketing effort; not a direct legal competitor but influences the firm's inbound funnel.
• Taxpayers Against Fraud Coalition: Nonprofit/advocacy organization supporting qui tam whistleblowers and connecting them with counsel. Overlaps with NAW's referral ecosystem and education efforts but does not litigate cases directly.
