At Marin, Barrett, and Murphy Law Firm, we understand the life-altering stress of facing a federal investigation. Recently, Attorneys Murphy and Barrett achieved a remarkable outcome for a client accused of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fraud. Here's how their knowledge turned a potential federal charge into a second chance.

Case Overview

Our client faced allegations of fraud in her applications for two separate PPP loans. Federal agents arrived at her residence as part of their investigation, an event that understandably left her feeling overwhelmed and seeking immediate legal support. She turned to Marin, Barrett, and Murphy Law Firm for guidance and representation.

The Stakes

Fraud allegations of this nature carry significant consequences, including federal charges, substantial fines, and potential imprisonment. Beyond these penalties, the stigma of a federal fraud conviction can irreparably damage a person's reputation and livelihood. Our client's future was on the line, making it critical to develop a robust defense strategy.

Our Approach

Swift Action

The first step was immediate and thorough evaluation. Attorneys Murphy and Barrett interviewed the client and conducted a detailed review of her PPP loan applications, financial records, and related communications.

Collaboration with Federal Investigators

Our attorneys engaged directly with the United States Attorney's Office and federal investigators to better understand the scope of the allegations. This allowed us to advocate effectively for the client and ensure her rights were protected throughout the process.

Building a Strong Defense

Murphy and Barrett meticulously analyzed the evidence to challenge the government's claims. They emphasized mitigating factors, such as the client's intent and circumstances, to demonstrate that the allegations did not warrant formal charges.

Negotiating an Alternative Resolution

By leveraging their extensive experience and negotiation skills, Attorneys Murphy and Barrett persuaded federal authorities that a Pre-Trial Diversion (PTD) agreement was the appropriate resolution. This outcome allowed the client to avoid formal charges and the long-term consequences of a criminal record.

Outcome: A Second Chance

Thanks to the efforts of Attorneys Murphy and Barrett, our client received a Pre-Trial Diversion offer. This resolution ensured she avoided federal charges, fines, and imprisonment. By fulfilling specific conditions of the PTD agreement, she was able to move forward without the burden of a criminal record.
