Riverside Forgery Attorney

Forgery Charges in Riverside: Defense Counsel

Forgery is rampant throughout Southern California, whether a driver's license, social security card, or the forging of legal documents or signatures on financial documents, credit card applications or other type of falsification of legal documents. If you are facing forgery charges, it is in your best interests to speak with a highly experienced and qualified Riverside white collar crime attorney from our firm.

Forgery is considered the criminal act of making false documents or objects in an attempt to deceive others. False replication of art, legal documents, signatures, and valued goods are the most common types of forgery committed. If a person forges documents pertaining to another person's identity, he/she can be charged with fraud, identity theft, and forgery.

The penalties for such crimes have become far more severe than they were in earlier years. Forgery is considered a white collar crime, as there is no violence or injury and the damage is strictly financial, but this does not mean you won't be facing serious consequences if you are not defended successfully. These crimes are heavily penalized if the accused individual is convicted. Life -altering legal ramifications and difficulties such including owing expensive fines, prison time, probation, house arrest, community service, and other punishments are very possible in a conviction. The punishment for forgery may be enhanced if the individual has a prior criminal record or prior forgery convictions.
