Utah law associates a wide range of criminal offenses with the term forgery, including the production of false identification, holograms or authenticating marks in a variety of documents. If you need a lawyer's advice about resolving charges of forgery or related crimes in the Salt Lake City area, contact the law firm of Greg S. Law, PLLC, for a free consultation about your defense options.
Most fraud crimes are prosecuted and punished as second- or third-degree felonies, with the former punished by one to 15 years of imprisonment and the latter by up to five years of imprisonment. While the amount of money, if any, involved in the offense is an important factor in determining whether the charge against you is a second- or third-degree felony, many other circumstances will also affect your exposure to punishment. Additionally, a conviction of forgery or a related offense will expose the defendant to the risk of asset forfeiture.
