Medicaid Fraud

The HRA (New York City Human Resources Administration or Department of Social Services) investigates people whom they feel are abusing certain benefits, such as Medicaid, insurance, food stamps/SNAP, public housing, Section 8, WIC, and more. Often times investigators have found properties, businesses, assets, or excess amounts of money that have raised suspicion and because of this, they are now investigating to see if you actually qualify and is eligible for benefit. 

When facing Medicaid fraud cases, if you are charged without settlement, you may be at risk for high fines, criminal charges and even jail time. We DO NOT suggest you to handle these kinds of difficult cases alone, as anything that you say to the investigator may be used against you. It is exceedingly crucial that you hire an experienced law firm to help you minimize or even fully resolve these charges. It is also important to remember and exercise your right to remain silent when the investigators request information from you. 

Previous clients who tried to handle their case on their own have made their cases even worse. When they came to The Worontzoff Law Office, PLLC, our attorneys were able to settle and resolve their cases through constant communication with the HRA investigators and providing adequate amounts of evidence to prove our client’s innocence. We have successfully represented numerous clients who own multiple properties/businesses and they have been found not guilty of any fraud and is able to continue to receive their benefits.
