Criminal Defense: Facing Forgery Charges in Indiana?
Contact Wallace Little
Charges of forgery, fraud or deception often arise in a "white collar crime" context, or in connection with gambling or investments gone wrong. Related charges may include counterfeiting and specific types of fraud including the following:
- Medicaid fraud
- Medicare fraud
- Other health care related fraud
- Investment fraud
- Check fraud
- Credit card theft
In many cases, forgery could be the act of signing another person's name on a financial or legal document. Such a crime often occurs in a family context, where adult children forge the signature of an elderly parent or grandparent — or spouses in dispute do the same using each other's signatures. Forgery is often done in an effort to defraud the government or a business, to accomplish identity theft or to falsify one's own identity.
"Deception" may involve financial transactions related to investments, whereby investors are given wrong information before deciding to invest in a business scheme.
Regardless of the circumstances of your charges, the sooner you have a lawyer on your side, the more likely it is that the matter can be resolved with the least amount of damage done to other areas of your life. A skilled attorney may succeed in preventing criminal charges from being filed. A restitution deal may be worked out to resolve questionable business dealings without resorting to legal action.
Even if you have already been arrested or charged, we are confident of our ability to help you pursue and obtain the most favorable outcome attainable in your case.
