This charge could be that you wrote a check to someone or a retailer and then the check is returned for insufficient funds. It could also stem from signing someone else’s name to a traffic citation or other official document. These charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies depending on the dollar amount and the nature of the charge. On most employment applications they specifically ask if you have ever been convicted of a “fraud” or crime of “moral turpitude” so obtaining a withhold of adjudication or dismissal, if possible, can be very important.
