Investigation, arrest, arraignment, bail, preliminary hearing, then trial. Can take a long time. If you need further info, contact me by e-mail at [email protected]
Re: Fraud and Forgery for services
Police will investigate - interview witnesses, etc. - and then will forward their reports to the D.A. The police will also make a recommendation to the D.A. whether to file charges. If charges are filed, the person will have a criminal case to defend. An arrest warrant will issue and the person most likely will need to post bail to remain out of custody while the case is being litigated.
