Forgery Crimes and Falsifying Signatures
Many legal or otherwise important documents require a person’s signature to verify or confirm information. If you forge someone’s signature on this paperwork, you may be charged with fraud. The following are commonly signed for individual or institutional gain.
- Checks
- Credit card applications or statements
- Legal documents
- Bank documents
- Tax documents
- Health care documents
- Mortgage/foreclosure documents
- Wills
In some cases, repeatedly falsifying signatures may result in an identity theft charge. Penalties for these fraud crimes may include jail time, heavy fines, and a probation period. However, we can help you fight the maximum sentences and negotiate with the prosecutor to help reduce or overturn your sentence.
