Forgery Conviction

A forgery conviction could result in jail time and hurt your chances of getting a job in the future. Forgery can be forging a name someone else’s name on a document or writing a bad check. However, the larger the check is, the higher the penalty. Write a bad check for $25,000 to $100,000 in Kansas and you could spend nearly three months in prison and have a felony record. A person can be convicted of forgery in three ways: Pleading guilty to the charges; having a “bench trial” where the judge hears the evidence and decided guilt or innocence and sentencing; Have a trial before a jury. In some cases a forgery conviction can be erased from your record. Most courts offer a diversion program. If you successfully complete your sentence and stay out of trouble, the forgery conviction will be expunged.
