Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

People charged with felonies hire lawyers to represent them and answer questions about what was or was not done properly.

Its a felony because of the amount of the check. I don't understand. If your husband was paying on the check, why did he not have a written agreement with the payor that the check would be honored? What proof does he have to indicate that payments were made?

If there is nothing, then I don't think there is anything to stop the payor from taking out a warrant. Your husband needs a competent criminal law attorney now. A good criminal attorney should be able to get any charges reduced or dismissed especially if there has been restitution.

Many counties have worthless check programs and do require that a letter be sent. However, the face amount of the check here far exceeds the typical case and maybe the county where the check was written does not have a worthless check program or limits its application to misdemeanors only. I don't handle criminal worthless check cases so I cannot say.

Regardless, your husband needs a criminal attorney. I don't know what you mean by the fact that your husband has a "felony" on him. It does not matter what someone is arrested for. It matters what your husband is convicted of or whether he is convicted at all. As I said, a good attorney should be able to get this resolved and the charges reduced or dismissed.

However, what you should be asking is why your husband wrote a chgeck for $2300 knowing that it would be returned? That is the definition of a bad check And why did he not work out some other arrangement if he did not have the funds? I think there is a lot more going on here and the best place to discuss that is in confidence with the criminal attorney.
