Re: Cashing checks

Thank you for your inquiry. The legal answer (are you ready?) is, actually "it DEPENDS". Are you being charged with something? There are almost 10 potential crimes you could be charged with, ranging from embezzlement, theft, forgery, fraud, elder abuse, as well as civil penalties, but any attorney would truly need more facts to answer your query.

I hope this helps in some way, but if you need legal representation, or want more information, please email me directly at [email protected] - it's my pleasure to help you in any way that I can.
