Answer:

Without first reviewing the State’s evidence against you, it’s difficult to provide an informed legal analysis. Your case involves complex legal issues. The theory of accomplice liability, for example, requires the expertise of an experienced criminal defense attorney who is also familiar with the nuances fraudulent schemes and forgery charges. There are many different factors to consider when determining the strength of the State’s case. Eyewitness testimony, co-defendant statements against you and even a prior history of similar conduct may be used as evidence against you. The best thing you can do if you’ve been involved in any activity that you believe may have been illegal is to contact a criminal defense attorney immediately to best protect your rights and interests. There are many qualified attorneys on this forum with experience in criminal defense.
