In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government offered billions of dollars in relief through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Now, prosecutors are aggressively targeting businesses and individuals suspected of PPP loan fraud. Common allegations include inflating payroll numbers, misrepresenting business operations, using funds for unauthorized purposes, or submitting false applications. At the Law Offices of John D. Kirby, we defend clients accused of PPP fraud by scrutinizing government investigations, challenging the accuracy of financial records, and contesting intent — a key element prosecutors must prove. A PPP fraud conviction can result in federal prison time, forfeiture of assets, steep fines, and reputational damage. If you have received a target letter, subpoena, or are under investigation for PPP fraud, immediate legal counsel is critical. Let us protect your rights and fight to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
