Re: Forgery

Forgery is a very serious offense. On the other hand, the fact that the individual has had no prior convictions suggests that the Court may be lenient. However, I would advise against handling this without the assistance of experienced criminal law counsel.

If I can help, please phone me at 301-294-9500.
