John T.

He has appeared in over 40 federal district courts and argued in most of the federal circuit courts of appeal. He is the author of the book, Civil False Claims and Qui Tam Actions (Aspen Publishers 3d ed.), a comprehensive, two-volume treatise on the civil False Claims Act and qui tam enforcement at both the federal and state levels. The book is commonly cited as authority on this subject by courts at all levels, as well as by practitioners and academics. Mr. Boese recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce regarding proposed amendments to the Federal qui tam law.
