What is counterfeiting?
When goods or services come from an illicit reproduction, they can be considered counterfeit. The federal government often gets involved with such charges when the goods cross state lines or international borders.
Counterfeiting is defined as the illegal forgery of any of the following:
- Currency
- Documents
- Products
- Electronics
- Software
- Clothing
- Pharmaceuticals
When counterfeiting involves goods, it is a matter of trademark and patent infringement. When it involves currency or bonds, it becomes a federal matter and can bring much harsher penalties and consequences.
Work with Us to Protect Your Future
The penalties for counterfeiting vary, depending on the size and scale of the crime. They can include fines totaling the estimated damages and even federal imprisonment. In extreme cases, the maximum penalty can be 25 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for counterfeiting foreign obligations.

"Great Representation"There are three reasons I recommend Zachuary Meranda if you are arrested for DUI. First off, he is a straight shooter. Never did he sugar coat my situation. Second, he handled everything while keeping me informed and walked me through everything as it progressed. Third, he got me the result- NO DUI!!! Thanks Zak!- Shane Dolen
