Forgery Defense Attorneys in San Diego

Have You Been Accused of Committing Forgery in San Diego?

Forgery is an area of theft and white collar crimes is taken very seriously. Forgery occurs when a person alters or falsifies a document in any way, including writing a false signature, with fraudulent intent. This means that when a person mistakenly fills out a document or with no intent of causing harm, he or she has not technically committed forgery. When intent is involved in criminal offenses, particularly ones involving fraud, theft, and forgery, the prosecution has the difficult task of proving the action and the intent of the defendant.
