Bad checks cases can be beaten, or have the charges reduced in many cases. If they can’t prove under the law that you intended to defraud a person by passing a bad check, you should be found not guilty.

What does NJ Law Say about Bad Checks?

According to New Jersey Law, cashing a bad check means a person tries to pass a check knowing that there isn’t enough money in the account to cover the amount of the check. A person can be said to have known about the lack of funds if the account was closed prior to the check or if the person who wrote the check doesn’t fix the overdrawn balance of the account within 10 days after receiving notice.

(See New Jersey criminal law sec. 21-5)

Is Cashing a Bad Check a Big Deal?

Although cashing a bad check may not have seemed like it was a very big deal at the time, a conviction of a bad check crime can be very bad for your future. As an experienced Bad Checks Defense Attorney In New Jersey, I have helped many people who have bad check charges fight their charges or negotiate a good deal so these charges wouldn’t destroy their futures. If you call me for a free consultation I can help you too. We will review your individual case and determine the best way to proceed to get you the best outcome possible.

What Are the Penalties for Bad Checks Under New Jersey Criminal Laws?

If the amount of the check was less than $200 it is a disorderly person’s offense which can result in up to six months jail, a fine of up to $1,000, restitution in the amount of the bad check(s), community service and/or probation.

If the amount of the bad check was between $200 and $999 it is a fourth degree charge which could result in up to 18 months in prison.

If the amount of the bad check was between $1,000 and $74,999 it is a third degree charge which could result in up to 5 years in prison.

If the amount of the bad check was $75,000 or more it is a second degree charge which could result in up to 10 years in prison.
