Felony & Misdemeanor Forgery Charges
Checks | Insurance Cards | Driver’s License | Vehicle Identification Numbers | Prescriptions | Long Island | New York City
When you face prosecution for a crime such as forgery or falsification of a document, you want an experienced criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights. The criminal justice system can be a scary place — the rules always seem to favor prosecutors and the language can seem foreign. Without competent, aggressive legal representation, you can quickly forfeit many of your rights and find yourself facing dire consequences.

Our Forgery Defense Practice
We handle the defense against all types of forgery charges, including:
- Forging the signature on a check, credit card application or other financial document
- Forging a doctor’s signature on a prescription form or altering a prescription in any way
- Illegally changing the expiration date on your proof of motor vehicle insurance or other insurance documents
- Changing the date on your driver’s license so that you can illegally purchase alcohol or obtain other benefits
- Falsifying a vehicle identification number
- Altering contracts or agreements
You can be charged with forgery in New York if you used an altered document to defraud someone or to illegally obtain a benefit, even if you did not forge the document yourself. We will aggressively defend you if you have been charged with possession or use of a forged instrument.
We will thoroughly investigate the facts and circumstances of your arrest, including whether there was probable cause for any search or seizure. We will also verify that you were properly advised of your Miranda rights if taken into custody.
