Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

What are the legal repercussions for forging documents used to acquire federal funds? The forger works for a company that received the money through fraudulent means but he himself did not receive the money directly. The amount of money going to the company was approximately $1 million dollars. The owner of the company knew about the illegal activity but it cannot be easily proven. The forger earned $60,000 in two years while at the company.

The "forger" should retain counsel before charges are filed. Feel free to contact me to discuss. There are actions the forger can take to mitigate consequences or make this a triable case.

There are serious repercussions for everyone involved if the charges are filed. Everyone should seek separate criminal defense counsel ASAP.
