Welfare Fraud

Arrests for welfare fraud in New York City are serious offenses.  However, arrestes for welfare fraud do not generally happen close it time to when the incident takes place.  As a result many people fail to take the charges seriously when they are contacted by an invesitgator.  The District Attorneys office generally only prosecutes the case when there is a sufficient anmount of evidence that supports bringing a prosecutoion.  Most of the information is provided to investigators by the defendant themselves.  The worst thing you can do is voluntary provide information to the investigators who are trained in gathering incriminating information and building cases against suspects. The better option is to talk to an attorney immediately and protect your rights.

Investigators will not question persons who wish to consult an attorney. When you retain our experienced New York City Welfare Fraud Attorneys early in the case, we may mitigate future damages and in some cases even convince prosecutors not to proceed with the case.
