California Theft Crimes Defense Lawyers
If you have been charged with or arrested for the crime of forgery it is important that you remain silent and contact an experienced attorney immediately. Forgery is the illegal act of signing a document without the rightful owner’s approval or consent. This also includes altering a valid document or creating a fake document. A document can be any type of legal paper, although the most common items forged are checks. Forgery is a form of identity theft and is considered a white collar crime in the state of California.
Being charged with forgery is either a misdemeanor or felony offense depending on the circumstances. A conviction is punishable in California by jail time, fines and probation. A forgery conviction will also result in a permanent mark on your criminal record. Forgery is a theft crime and often goes hand in hand with the crime of fraud and counterfeiting money; therefore law enforcement will make every attempt to deter you from becoming further entangled with the law.
