New Jersey Penalties For Frauds Relating To Public Records And Recordable Instruments (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-3)

Destruction, Alteration, Falsification of Records (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-4.1) in New Jersey is a crime of the fourth degree, equivalent to a low-level felony in other states.

Since the allegation relates specifically to medical records, healthcare professionals in the state are the most common targets of these charges.

If convicted, you can be sentenced to up to 18 months, though first offenders will benefit from a presumption of non-incarceration.

You’ll also face a fine of up to $15,000, which can be crippling given that your professional license and job may be gone.

There are alternatives. Attorney Matthew Reisig provides comprehensive criminal defense that can save your reputation and your career.

If you’re facing charges of tampering with medical records, call 732-625-9661 today and talk to an experienced New Jersey criminal defense attorney for free.

Criminal Attorney Helps Those Facing Frauds Relating To Public Records And Recordable Instruments (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-3) Charges

In an effort to protect the public trust, it is a crime in New Jersey to remove, destroy, or conceal an instrument like a will, deed, mortgage, security instrument, or other writing that goes into the public record.

Similarly, presenting a falsified document or writing that contains falsehoods to a public official knowing it will become public record is also a crime under Frauds Relating to Public Records and Recordable Instruments (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-3).

This statute is typically used to prosecute people in professions like law or banking who are alleged to have behaved unscrupulously.

Those who present documents with false statements to the public record are charged with a disorderly persons offense, comparable to a misdemeanor in other states.

The maximum sentence if convicted is six months. Those who remove, destroy, or conceal instruments like deeds, wills, mortgages, and security instruments will face a third degree charge, with a sentence of between 3-5 years if convicted.

The state takes the preservation of accurate, truthful documentation seriously, but these cases are often highly circumstantial.

You don’t have to be convicted of Frauds Relating to Public Records and Recordable Instruments in New Jersey.
