Forgery

I was charged with 6 felony counts of Penal Code Section 470(d) with enhancements for an alleged loss of over $100,000.00 in what was classified as a check cashing scheme. In my situation a family member basically took advantage of me and had me cash checks under false pretenses. I unknowingly went along never thinking he would be involving me in a criminal enterprise. I was looking at potentially many years of state prison. I was referred to Mr. Will Bruzzo by another lawyer. Mr. Bruzzo reviewed the case and told me from the outset he would take it to trial if necessary because he did not think the District Attorney could prove the case and that my actions were ultimately innocent in nature. There were several other co-defendants and the case took many months to resolve. In the end Mr. Bruzzo and the other lawyers negotiated with the District Attorney to DISMISS the case and ALL CHARGES once I paid an amount of money well below what it was alleged I owed. Mr. Bruzzo told me that I would pay at least that amount if the case went to trial and it was worth it just to pay it. I am very grateful for Mr. Bruzzo’s representation; he fought very hard and made clear I was innocent. I would recommend him for any forgery or criminal matter. Date: 12/1/17
