One is New Jersey's Conscientious Employee Protection Act, which prohibits companies from retaliating against workers who act as whistle-blowers, including those who object to practices that could jeopardize the public health or safety.

As a former IRS attorney that handles only tax whistleblower cases, I believe that confidentiality is of the utmost importance. In fact, our firm will guarantee the confidentiality of a tax whistleblower or forfeit our fee. Therefore, we will not disclose the number of tax whistleblower cases we handle, the dollar amount, or any other information including the background of the taxpayer so as to protect our clients and the tax whistleblower process. Yes, we recognize that the Ferraro firm is successfully promoting itself through these numerous press releases. We also note that the numbers and facts stated within a press release cannot be verified by an independent source and we note that most attorneys engaged in this area of the law are not promoting themselves by divulging potentially confidential information. Therefore, we, as attorneys, are certainly disappointed that our fellow members of the bar would promote themselves to what we perceive is to the detriment of their clients.
