New York Paycheck Protection Program Attorneys

Investigated or Criminally Accused of Fraud? We Can Help.

When the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed in March 2020, the backbone of its support for small businesses was the Paycheck Protection Program. Many companies took advantage of this federal aid when it was needed most, but now some business owners are finding themselves under investigation or charged with fraud.

Are You Facing Federal Charges?

There are a number of scenarios in which the federal government may bring criminal charges against you with regard to the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program. It may believe you attempted to commit fraud – or were successful – by providing false information on your loan application. Business owners have specifically been charged in this manner because the government cannot verify the existence of their operating companies or any employees on their payroll.

Depending upon your unique situation, you may face federal criminal charges such as the following:

• Making false statements on a government form or to an agent of the government
• Bank fraud
• Wire or mail fraud
• Identity theft

If a business has multiple owners or there are multiple individuals involved in an allegedly fraudulent attempt to obtain a Paycheck Protection Program loan, all may be charged accordingly. If you believe you are being unfairly accused, get help from our Paycheck Protection attorneys in New York at Goldberger & Dubin, P.C.

Do You Think You’re under Investigation?

Most of the time people are unaware that they are being investigated for federal crimes involving fraud. If anyone from the federal government has contacted you with regard to your Paycheck Protection Program loan or to seek information about your company, immediately seek representation from an experienced white-collar crime attorney.

People who haven’t done anything wrong may believe that refusing to speak to a federal agent without an attorney present may make them look suspicious. The reality is that investigators are constantly probing for incriminating information, and an experienced attorney can help you answer questions in a manner that protect you from unnecessary further investigation or even criminal charges.

Beyond this, it’s simply your right to have an attorney at your side whenever the government is accusing you of a crime. At Goldberger & Dubin, P.C., we are tenacious advocates for our clients and provide them with the advice they need when investigators are trying to twist the facts into false narratives.
