Before a person can be convicted of the federal crime of counterfeiting laws, the prosecutor must prove the following two things beyond a reasonable doubt:

  1. The person charged with counterfeiting actually made counterfeit money; and
  2. The person did so willfully and with the intent to defraud.

Regarding the “intent to defraud,” the prosecutor does not have to prove that anyone was, in fact, defrauded. Rather, she only has to prove that the person charged intended to defraud a person or a government agency.

Real Clients, Real Testimonials

I recently had the good fortune of hiring Ronald Chapman as an attorney for a family member. My family does not reside in South Florida, so I began researching the West Palm Beach and County Services websites looking for possible attorneys. I found several legal articles written and posted by Mr. Chapman that were relevant to the issues impacting my family member. The articles written by Mr. Chapman were pertinent and in fact provided information about recent changes in several laws and legal situations. The articles were timely and extremely helpful. I contacted Mr. Chapman and explained the circumstances that required legal assistance for my family member. To my relief, Mr. Chapman agreed to handle the case, which required a court appearance two (2) days after we had spoken. Mr. Chapman met with my family member, represented him in court with a very satisfactory outcome, and all within a 2-day window of time. Mr. Chapman's name and phone number are now permanently in my rolodex! I have never dealt with an attorney who has been so responsive and forthcoming relative to explanations of the facts and circumstances. I highly recommend Mr. Chapman as an attorney.

Probation in Florida may initially seem like a welcome alternative to incarceration, offering what appears to be a more lenient form of oversight. However, it's essential to recognize that probation is not synonymous with complete freedom.
