You got a letter from the SBA Office of Inspector General last week. Maybe they're requesting PPP loan documentation for your Detroit business with a 10-day response deadline. Or FBI agents showed up at your Grand Rapids office asking questions about your 2020 PPP loan application and employee count. Maybe you received a federal grand jury subpoena for your Lansing company's payroll records from 2020-2021. A criminal complaint was filed in the Eastern District of Michigan alleging you inflated your Ann Arbor business's employee numbers on the PPP application. Or an investigation letter arrived about your Flint company's use of PPP funds for non-payroll expenses. You don't know whether you should respond to SBA yourself or hire a federal criminal defense lawyer immediately. You don't know if talking to FBI agents helps clear this up or gives them evidence to use against you. You don't know whether you're facing the theoretical 30 years in federal prison the statute mentions or the actual sentences Michigan federal courts impose. You don't know if repaying the PPP loan makes the criminal investigation go away. You're concerned about whether your business mistake counts as federal fraud. You're concerned about losing your business if you're indicted. You're worried about your family if you go to federal prison. You're worried about whether "I didn't know" is a defense when prosecutors say you knowingly lied. It's 2am and you're searching "Michigan PPP loan fraud lawyers" trying to understand if there's a way out of this or if your life is over.

Thanks for visiting Federal Lawyers. Our founder our lead attorney earned his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University and his Juris Doctor from Pace Law School in White Plains, New York. Before founding Federal Lawyers, Todd worked at some of the largest law firms in Boston and New York, first as a file clerk then as a paralegal preparing multi-defendant cases for trial, and during law school he was recommended for Moot Court where he successfully argued criminal cases. Todd is a second-generation attorney. Federal Lawyers was originally established in 1976, making it a nearly 50-year-old family-owned criminal defense practice. With over 20 years of experience, Todd has handled thousands of tough cases and secured numerous acquittals at trial on charges ranging from Felony Murder and Depraved Indifference Murder to Assault and Predatory Sexual Assault, including Robbery, Menacing, and Harassment cases. His work has garnered national media attention. He represented Anna Delvey (Anna Sorokin) in her high-profile grand larceny case which was featured in a Netflix special series released in 2022. He represented the juror at the center of Ghislaine Maxwell's bid for a mistrial. He handled the Faith Walk Ministry case involving over $1.2 million in fraud charges.

We've represented many, many clients charged with PPP fraud across Michigan's two federal districts, Eastern and Western, many, many successful outcomes including pre-indictment civil resolutions that avoided prison entirely, downward departure motions that reduced federal sentences by 40-60%, and constitutional challenges that resulted in evidence suppression or case dismissal. If you're reaching out to us, we understand the stakes you're facing.
