Identity Theft Victim Needs Advice

As a victim of ID theft, I have discovered that the thief has possibly used my personal information in a counterfeiting scheme. I have been working with an investigator from my local sheriff's office, but is providing all the notes and information I've gathered enough to prove I am not involved in this? Would hiring a lawyer be beneficial or not? I feel I have enough proof that I could not have conducted the transactions, but I am still concerned that I might be held liable for something I did not do. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Re: Identity Theft Victim Needs Advice

I can't comment on whether your notes and information would be enough to exonerate you since I don't know the contents. Other than the cost, it is always beneficial to retain an attorney to help protect your rights. You should not take problems with your credit score lightly.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
