Why Hire A Medicaid Fraud Lawyer

Client who come under investigation for Medicaid fraud in New York often ask us, “Do I need a lawyer?” Sometimes, people realize that they do need an attorney but they hire someone who has no experience with Medicaid fraud cases.

Here is the simple truth: you would not hire a lawyer to do your surgery and you don’t want your accountant to fix your refrigerator. The outcome of any project depends on the professionalism and experience of whoever works on it.

Do you need a lawyer to handle your Medicaid fraud case? It’s up to you. Technically, you can represent yourself, but let me shamelessly try to impress this idea upon you: if you know what’s good for you, your family, and your future, you need a lawyer. You see, what many people don’t realize is that Medicaid fraud is not some kind of abstract idea. It’s a crime, and any Human Resources Administration investigation (or any other agency’s investigation) is potentially a criminal case waiting to happen. Go online and investigate for yourself how many people were arrested and prosecuted for Medicaid Fraud in New York. Many of them did not have the benefit of having an experienced Medicaid fraud lawyer at their side when the investigation started.

So, this should answer the question – yes, you do need a lawyer. For any questions, call us today.
