WASHINGTON, D.C., DC, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Brown, LLC, a nationally recognized whistleblower law firm and leader in False Claims Act (FCA) litigation, today announced that Albert Thomas “Tom” Morris has joined the firm as a Partner in its whistleblower practice. With nearly two decades as a Senior Trial Counsel and Trial Attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Fraud Section, Morris brings substantial government-side experience in healthcare fraud, defense contractor fraud, Anti-Kickback Statute violations, and major qui tam recoveries.

Morris joins Brown, LLC after a distinguished career prosecuting complex False Claims Act cases on behalf of the United States. His accomplishments include first-chair trial and litigation work in high-stakes matters involving Medicare fraud, Medicare Advantage overbilling, defective pricing on military contracts, and defense contractor fraud.

“Tom joining Brown, LLC is a major moment for our whistleblower practice,” said Jason T. Brown, Head of Brown, LLC and former FBI Special Agent and Legal Advisor. “False Claims Act litigation often turns on knowing exactly how the Department of Justice evaluates, investigates, litigates, and resolves these cases. Tom has lived that world at the highest level. His experience gives our whistleblower clients an even stronger platform to pursue meaningful recoveries for taxpayers and hold powerful wrongdoers accountable.”

Tom Morris Background & DOJ Achievements

During his tenure at the DOJ, Morris focused on healthcare fraud, government contract fraud, procurement fraud, and federal program fraud. Notable matters he handled or helped prosecute include:

• A $57 million settlement involving radiation remediation work at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.
• A $62 million defective pricing settlement involving military contracts.
• A $90 million Medicare Advantage settlement involving Sutter Health.
• Industry-wide defective body armor litigation resulting in approximately $138 million in settlements.
• Lead counsel in a nine-week jury trial that secured a $32 million False Claims Act verdict against three individuals and two corporate defendants for defrauding Medicare at a critical access hospital (with the Fifth Circuit upholding a key materiality ruling on continued government payments).

Before his public service at the DOJ, Morris was an equity partner at K&L Gates LLP, where he handled complex civil litigation, insurance coverage, securities matters, trials, arbitrations, and appeals. He began his career as a judicial clerk for the Honorable Francis W. Bullock of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. He earned his J.D. with high honors from Duke University School of Law (Duke Law Journal) and holds a B.S.B.A. magna cum laude from Georgetown University and an M.L.A. with highest honors from Johns Hopkins University.

“I am excited to join Brown, LLC and continue working on cases that protect taxpayers, patients, investors, government programs, and honest businesses,” said Tom Morris. “Whistleblowers play a critical role in exposing fraud that may otherwise remain hidden. Brown, LLC has built a strong national platform for representing whistleblowers, and I look forward to helping individuals come forward with well-developed, meaningful claims.”
