Check Fraud Defense

Check fraud refers to a variety of actions involving the use of checks to accomplish the theft of funds. This can be accomplished by writing a check from an account with insufficient funds to cover the check, forging a signature on a check, creating counterfeit checks, and many other similar actions.

In order for the district attorney to secure a conviction in a check fraud case, they will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you intentionally tried to defraud the victim by your actions. This intent can often be difficult to prove, especially in cases where a check bounced due to insufficient funds. Whenever possible, our lawyers will work to demonstrate that your actions were not intended to defraud the victim. If this strategy is not viable based on the specifics of your case, we will work closely with you to devise an appropriate defense that helps you achieve the best possible outcome to your case.
