Utah Check Fraud Attorney
Contact our Salt Lake City Criminal Defense Law Firm
Check fraud charges often come alongside other white collar crime charges such as embezzlement or identity theft. If you have reason to believe that you are under investigation or may be arrested on check fraud charges, consult with a knowledgeable defense attorney, the sooner the better.
If you did write fraudulent checks, mitigating circumstances may be used to your advantage in your defense including if:
- Someone gave you permission to write checks signed with their signature.
- You exercised poor judgment because of a mental health disorder or addiction such as gambling addiction or drug addiction.
Or you may be convinced that you are innocent — and that the accusations that you took part in check fraud are a result of someone else pointing fingers to avoid being caught.
Whatever the circumstances, you have the same constitutional rights that all criminal defendants have. The prosecution must prove that you committed the crime beyond a shadow of a doubt. If evidence was gathered illegally, your right to protection from unlawful search and seizure may be the key to your defense.
It is simply impossible to predict the outcome of your criminal case if you have been charged with check fraud without a detailed investigation into the charges, the evidence and mitigating circumstances. You cannot afford to avoid the criminal charges — but must deal with them as soon as possible. Contact the law offices of Greg Smith and Associates to schedule a consultation and learn how best to defend yourself in the face of check fraud charges involving any of the following factors:
- Forgery
- False documents associated with the issuance or cashing of checks
- Postdated checks
- NSF checks
- Counterfeit checks
