Julie K. Bracker

At the time I hired Julie to represent me I was fighting against corporate attorneys with endless monetary backing. I felt victimized and vulnerable. Julie immediately put me at ease with her relaxed demeanor that makes her easy to talk to and allows you to feel heard. She is extremely knowledgeable, strong, and diligent. Together we were able to identify leverage points and for the first time in the process I felt empowered and protected. Julie guided me through the negotiation process, advised me appropriately, and led the matter to a successful conclusion. I would recommend Julie without reservation.

I hired Julie Bracker to represent me in a complex FCA (qui tam) action against a large hospital system for activities I believed represented Medicare fraud. She guided me through the challenges of being a “relator” and filing an action through the DOJ. She is amazingly knowledgeable and well organized, and has an excellent sense of timing and advice related to the many aspects of the FCA processes. I felt very well represented. Julie also helped me to balance my frustration with the many year process that seemed to be endless vs. the long term goal of stopping the culture of corruption I had uncovered and forcing the exposure of the damage some misguided individuals had brought upon what I thought should have been a wonderful institution. Julie’s advice and insights were unfailingly on target. It has been a pleasure to work with a person of such high integrity as well as remarkable intelligence. She helped to guide the case to a successful and satisfactory conclusion, and set the example of outstanding collaborations among multiple parties, attorneys, and federal and state agencies

After speaking with 4 other attorneys from NELA, I stopped my search when I spoke with Ms. Bracker. Her knowledgeable, patient and thorough approach is what you hope for when seeking legal counsel. I felt understood and that she was on my side. Being an individual going up against a company backed with cooperate lawyers wasn’t something I intentionally set out to do. Ms. Bracker helped me to see my potential leverage points and identify non-monetary, as well as traditional items of negotiation. Beyond extensive expertise in her field, Ms. Bracker provides a sincere opinion. I was able to make a well-informed decision thanks to her guidance.

I hired Ms. Bracker in June 2013 to represent me in a "HUBZONE FRAUD" Whistleblower case, which is very different then the normal Whistleblower case against a former employer or healthcare fraud. Ms. Bracker was quick to evaluate my case and present it to the Federal Government in a convincing practice, that encouraged the Federal Government to intervene within a few months. Most Whistleblower Cases can take many years to be considered by the government. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Ms. Bracker, this extraordinary Whistleblower Case was settled in less then two years. I admit that I first had concern with Ms. Bracker being in Georgia, I was in South Carolina and our case was filed in Florida, but this proved to be no obstacle in getting a quick settlement to this already unusual case and a 17% Whistleblower recovery reward for me reporting the fraud.
