SNAP Fraud Investigation Attorney in New York City
Our firm defends people facing SNAP fraud investigations. If you're reading this, you probably received a target letter from the Bureau of Fraud Investigation. This letter explains what they think you did wrong. Usually, that you didn't report income or didn't tell them about someone living in your home.
So what does this mean for you? A SNAP fraud investigation is serious. You're being looked at by the government, and you can't control what happens next. The investigators do this every day. They know this process inside and out. You don't.
And here's the thing: this won't be over in one phone call. You're looking at weeks of back-and-forth with investigators who know tricks you've never seen before.
That's why people call me with the same questions: "Will I be arrested? Could this be a misdemeanor or felony? Am I looking at probation or jail time?"
The honest answer? It depends on your case, the investigator, and which part of New York you're in.
But here's what I can tell you. When someone has good legal help, arrest is unlikely. Going to the district attorney's office is unlikely. Jail time is unlikely.
So what does good legal help actually do? Our job is simple. We handle the process from start to finish, talk directly with investigators, and keep your case from getting worse. That means stopping it before it goes to the DA's office or to Albany. Our clients usually don’t get to that point.
Now let me tell you what not to do, because this is where people hurt their own cases. Don't panic and call the investigators to say you're sorry. That doesn't help. It just puts you on record without anyone protecting you. And don't just hand over all the papers they ask for. You'd be giving them proof they'll use against you.
So what should you do instead? If you want to talk about your case, we provide a free consultation. I'm a private attorney, I don’t work for the government, so everything we discuss stays between us.
