As is the case with many white collar crimes, counterfeiting is often a federal offense and will be investigated and prosecuted by federal agencies. These federal agencies have more resources than most state law enforcement organizations. In addition, the sentencing guidelines for federal offenses show no leniency to defendants as they face trial.

Counterfeiting in the United States Today

When the U.S. was still a fledgling country, counterfeiting was a crime punishable by death. Today, although the penalties for counterfeiting are much less extreme, the government is still taking steps toward avoiding the possibility of counterfeit money to be created, by changing and improving the quality of bills. However, counterfeiting has spread to include goods: designer clothes and accessories, watches, jewelry and more.

Regardless of the specific counterfeiting charges that you face, you will need an attorney who can protect your rights and help you get the best outcome possible for your case. You will need an attorney who will fight to defend your future.
