Forgery

In Olympia, forgery is a serious crime with punishments that can dramatically affect your life, and a conviction could destroy your reputation. Forgery is a criminal charge levied against people who attempt to defraud an organization or person by falsifying a written instrument, or putting it forth even though the perpetrator is fully aware that it's forged. Olympia forgery cases may involve a variety of crimes that include identity theft, embezzlement, altering medical prescriptions, and credit card or check fraud, among others. Because forgery is a Class C felony in the State of Washington, a conviction results in a criminal record.

If you've been charged with any of these crimes, our Olympia forgery lawyers can help you protect your rights.
