Client signed over a check to working materials from a legitimate company to another company. The second company believed that the check was forged because they didn’t recognize the company issuing the check. Without contacting my client, they called the police and had a warrant issued. Despite my client having zero criminal history, the officer went ahead and filed a felony charge. We straightened the situation out. Everyone receive what they needed to be fair. My client just wanted to do the right thing.
