BRIAN UNGER

Brian Unger represents individuals, families, and small businesses in disputes against well-resourced adversaries, including corporations, hospital systems, insurers, and government actors. His practice centers on employment discrimination, civil rights and constitutional litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, criminal defense, municipal law, and qui tam whistleblower actions under the False Claims Act. He handles matters across multiple jurisdictions. He is licensed in Massachusetts and Ohio, as well as in various federal courts such as the District of Massachusetts, the Northern and Southern Districts of Ohio, and the First and Sixth Circuit Courts of Appeal.

The firm has a long-standing focus on qui tam litigation under the federal False Claims Act, which allows a private relator with inside knowledge of fraud against the United States to file suit on the government’s behalf and share in any recovery. While many qui tam cases involve Medicare and Medicaid fraud, Brian has handled relator matters across a range of industries, including for-profit education, military contracting, and housing.

Brian has worked alongside Warner Mendenhall for years and has consistently demonstrated the willingness and ability to take on opponents accustomed to outspending and outlasting individual plaintiffs. He aggressively yet thoughtfully pursues every client’s matter.
