Atlanta Forgery Defense Attorney
Forgery is when a person knowingly utters and delivers a writing which was made, altered, or possessed with the intent to defraud, which writing purports that it was made by another person, at another time, with different provisions, or with the authority of one who did not give such authority. Examples include forged checks and forged prescriptions for pharmaceutical drugs.
Forgery is a felony punishable by 1-10 years imprisonment.
Writing bad checks is sometimes charged as a forgery, but also constitutes another common offense in Georgia when a check is drawn on a legitimate account, but there are insufficient funds in the account to make payment.
A bad check worth less than $500.00 is a misdemeanor, and a bad check for more than $500.00 is a felony.
We have defended all types of forgery and bad checks charges in every Metro-Atlanta court, and will aggressively defend you.
