Fraud & Forgery
An Aggressive Legal Response to Fraud and Forgery Charges
If you have been accused of possessing forged documents, credit card theft, check fraud, or unauthorized use of someone’s identity or financial accounts, you may be facing serious charges of fraud, forgery, or identity theft.
Maybe it is all a misunderstanding or stems from a dispute with someone you know that resulted in accusations. You may not have had any intent to commit fraud. No matter how it happened, you need to speak with an attorney, as the consequences from these charges could be significant.
Understanding the Serious Nature of Fraud Charges
Fraud can be charged as a felony in Georgia. In some cases, you could be facing up to 10 years in prison for fraud or use of forged documents. The greater the harm, the more significant the penalties.
