Re: bounced check

I agree with the other attorney. Your question does not seem to be worded properly as I'm not sure what you mean by part of a payment. Regardless, if you think you may face criminal charges, I suggest you get an attorney ASAP.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: bounced check

The way that question is put makes it difficult to answer. No one can make the state arrest you. Similarly, the state does not care what a company does later between you and the company. A bounced check is a bounced check. And, it's the INTENTIONAL writing of checks on insufficient funds that is illegal, so if you are arrested and prosecuted, we can help in your defense.
