ID Theft and False Identification
Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorneys
Creating, using or possessing false identification is a form of fraud that is a serious crime. A person may attempt to seal another’s driver’s license or create a counterfeit license or ID card, or perhaps apply for a credit card under a false name. These offenses may be committed for a number of reasons: to gamble in a casino without the casino owners knowing who you actually are, to avoid accumulating debt under one’s own name, to drink or gamble even if a person is under the age of 21, and more. Any type of identification document may suffice.

These cases are serious and should be addressed immediately. Your lawyer can work to lessen the potential charges and penalties you may face, in addition to protecting your rights and interests through any criminal proceedings in or outside of the courtroom.
