Georgia Forgery, Fraud & Bad Checks AttorneysUnder Georgia law, forgery is defined as "knowingly and with the intent to defraud, making, altering, or possessing any writing that purports to be made by another person, at another time, with different provisions, or by authority of one who did not give such authority and utters and delivers such writing". In these cases the intent of the person accused of forging the writing is often at issue. Forgery is a felony punishable by 1 to 10 years in prison. Writing bad checks is also a common offense in Georgia. A bad check worth less than $500.00 is a misdemeanor and a check for more than $500.00 is a felony.
