Dallas County Lawyer for Charges of Forgery and White-Collar Crimes
If you’ve been accused of forgery or any type of financial crime in Texas, you could be facing serious consequences, including lengthy prison time, even as a first-time offender.

At The Daredia Law Firm, P.C., we represent professionals, executives, and everyday individuals in Collin County, Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas who are facing allegations of fraud, forgery, or other deceptive practices.
Understanding Forgery and Fraud Charges in Texas
Under Texas law, forgery and fraud are broad categories that encompass a wide range of criminal offenses. In general, these charges involve misrepresentation or deception for personal or financial gain. In many cases, simply omitting critical information or altering a document could result in serious charges.
Common white-collar crimes include:
Forgery – Altering or creating fake documents (such as contracts or checks) with intent to defraud
Tax Fraud – Failing to report income or falsifying deductions on tax returns
Insurance Fraud – Submitting false or exaggerated claims to collect insurance benefits
Credit Card Fraud – Using someone else’s credit information or opening accounts fraudulently
Securities Fraud – Manipulating stock markets or falsifying business financials
Medicaid/Medicare Fraud – Falsely billing or misrepresenting eligibility to receive benefits
Check Fraud – Writing checks on accounts with insufficient funds or using forged checks
Deceptive Business Practices – False advertising, mislabeling, or altering measurements or weights
Most white-collar crimes in Texas are charged as felonies, with penalties based on the amount of money or value of property involved. Convictions can result in state or federal prison time, fines of up to $10,000 or more, loss of professional licenses, and damage to your public and professional image.
