Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Goldman Sachs, secretly recorded tapes, and a female employee fired -- those are all real life elements from the headlines circulating around Carmen Segarra.

Lesley Ann Skillen represented several female whistleblowers including Cheryl Eckard, who received the nation's single largest whistleblower payment in 2010 when GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) agreed to settle with the government for $750 million on charges that it manufactured and sold adulterated drug products.
