Benefit Fraud

Allegations of benefit fraud can be extremely serious and, if proven, can result in significant prison sentences. If you have been accused of benefit fraud, have been asked to attend an interview under caution, or are subject to a benefit fraud prosecution, we can help. We have over 30 years of expert, specialist experience in dealing with all types of benefit fraud cases.

Benefit Fraud Solicitors

Being investigated or charged with benefit fraud can be extremely upsetting and worrying not to mention the concerns you will have for your future and that of your family.  The investigation is normally made worse by the suspension of benefit payments and in some cases termination. We understand how difficult and stressful your situation is, but we can help you to be clear about your legal position and what the next steps are for you.  Benefit fraud is serious and you will need the best possible criminal fraud defence team to be able to build a case for you.
