Forgery is a common white collar crime that often coincides with crimes of theft or fraud. For this reason, those accused generally face multiple charges of misdemeanor and felony offenses. One of the most common forms of forgery is using a check with a false signature, but forgery crimes can involve several types of unlawful acts. In most cases, forgery is committed when a person fills out an official or formal document with false information, in an attempt to defraud another person or entity. This includes matters of bank fraud, check fraud, identity theft, and several other types of theft crimes.
