Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
I cashed a money order made out to woodbrook drive oxford house and put my name on it. can the issuer of this money order file charges against me for forging it?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Was it your intention to defraud them by forging your name on the check or did you have the authorization from the company that the money order was made out to to cash the money order? If you had their authorization to cash it, then there should not be a problem. If not, then you may be leaving yourself open to a criminal charge.
It seems that you have committed a crime because if you had permission you would not be asking the quetion.
If a person cashes a money order that is not theirs and without permission, then there may be more than one criminal charge that could be filed. You should consult with an attorney and remember that anything that you say to anyone who is not your attorney could be used against you later. Again, speak to a local criminal lawyer.
