I had a young client charged with forgery and sucessfully obtained a no bill from the Grand Jury . My client had answered an ad on Craiglist and thought she had been hired on a part time job. My client was very excited when she received her first pay check in the mail. When my client attempted to cash the paycheck the police were called and she was arrested. I gathered all the evidence needed to convince the Grand Jury that my client was a victim. My client now can expunge her record and no one will ever know that she was arrested for forgery.
