Understanding Forgery Charges In New Jersey

Under New Jersey law, forgery is a felony that involves knowingly creating, altering or using false documents with the intent to deceive. Common examples include:

  • Falsifying signatures on checks or contracts
  • Creating or using fake IDs or prescriptions
  • Altering currency or government documents

Each situation is different, but all can lead to severe consequences if not handled properly, making legal guidance indispensable.

Potential Penalties For New Jersey Forgery Convictions

The penalties for New Jersey forgery charges depend on the value of the forged item and whether the person has a prior record. Convictions may result in:

  • Fines reaching thousands of dollars
  • Prison sentences up to 10 years
  • Lengthy probation terms

Beyond the courtroom, a forgery conviction can make it harder to find a job, rent an apartment or obtain a professional license. For this reason, having a Camden County forgery lawyer work with you is important.
