What is a SNAP Violation?

SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, provides food assistance benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families. 1 A SNAP violation occurs when someone fraudulently obtains or misuses SNAP benefits. 1 Common examples include:

• Trafficking SNAP benefits (illegally exchanging them for cash)
• Providing false information to obtain benefits
• Allowing unauthorized individuals to use your SNAP benefits

SNAP fraud is a serious offense, it’s considered theft of government funds, and can result in hefty fines and potential jail time. 1

Potential Penalties for SNAP Fraud

The penalties for SNAP fraud can be severe, depending on the specifics of the case. 1 Potential consequences include:

• Disqualification from SNAP for 1 year to permanently
• Fines up to $250,000
• Imprisonment for up to 20 years

For trafficking SNAP benefits of $500 or more, there’s a mandatory minimum sentence of 1 year in prison. 1 The penalties increase significantly for larger amounts trafficked. 1

How Our SNAP Fraud Lawyers Can Help

At Spodek Law Group, we have extensive experience defending clients against SNAP fraud charges. 1 Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case, looking for any weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence or violations of your rights. 1We’ll explore all potential defenses, which may include:

• Showing you lacked criminal intent
• Proving the alleged fraud was actually a mistake or misunderstanding
• Challenging the methods used to calculate the alleged overpayment amount

Our goal is to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed entirely. 1 But if your case does go to trial, you can count on our skilled litigators to fight vigorously for an acquittal. 1Sometimes prosecutors will only be fair if you respond with force to them, without an attorney advising you, you might accidentally plead guilty when you could’ve won the case. 1 The only way to truly know is to hire a private criminal defense attorney. 1 At Spodek Law Group, we pride ourselves on taking a hands-on approach, it means researching the exact situation surrounding your case, and putting in the leg work to be familiar with every single intimate detail. 1 Our firm has excellent work ethics, and we constantly hold firm meetings in order to discuss and address all of our cases, in the event of an emergency, we have a full team of lawyers available to help you. 1

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

Believe every single review here about Alex Z!! From our initial consultation, it was evident that Alex possessed a profound understanding of criminal law and a fierce dedication to his clients rights. Throughout the entirety of my case, Alex exhibited unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment. What sets Alex apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine compassion for his clients. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, alleviating any concerns I had along the way. His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. I am immensely grateful for Alex's exceptional legal representation and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney. Alex Z is not just a lawyer; he is a beacon of hope for those navigating the complexities of the legal system.

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
