Young Law Group

What Young Law Group does

Young Law Group, operating under the brand USA Whistleblowers, is a privately held, boutique whistleblower law firm founded and led by Eric L. Young, Esquire. The firm represents individual whistleblowers — ranging from blue-collar employees to C-suite executives — who report fraud against the government or securities violations, with a selective model that limits caseload to allow hands-on partner involvement in every matter. Practice areas span the False Claims Act (including healthcare, pharmaceutical, government contracting, and procurement fraud), SEC, CFTC, IRS, Auto, and FIRREA whistleblower programs, as well as class actions and executive compensation/employment law.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, charging clients only if a case is successful, with fees typically derived as a percentage of whistleblower awards or government recoveries. It augments legal representation with retained forensic accountants and investigators to build evidentiary cases. The firm has cumulatively secured over $3 billion in whistleblower recoveries for clients across two decades, with notable individual settlements exceeding $800 million from actions against Novartis and Teva. It operates from a headquarters in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and a secondary office in Delray Beach, Florida, and has represented clients from the United States, Great Britain, China, Hong Kong, India, and South Africa.

USA Whistleblowers is structured as a collaboration between Eric L. Young and Miller Shah, LLP, distributing capacity and enabling pursuit of larger, resource-intensive qui tam actions. Distribution is direct: free confidential consultations via a toll-free number and website contact forms, supported by content marketing (practice area pages, news, educational resources), earned media coverage in major outlets, and a newsletter funnel. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm has no technology platform, API, or AI/ML capabilities — its competitive moat is built on founder reputation, case results, and selective partner-led service.
