Q: If I found forgery on my case file for important documents that needed my personal signature how should I follow up?
I have found on several documents in my case file that has my signature Forged on them. I know how I write my signature and it looks like someone the the lawyer office wrote it but I can’t be sure who it was but I know that it was not done by me. Any help will be extremely helpful!
A: Some retainer agreements give a Power of Attorney to execute certain documents. If you contend that you would not have signed the documents, and that you have been damaged in some way, contact the State Bar.
A:
More info needed.
i would contact my lawyer and possibly the State Bar.
remember that many legal retainers have a paragraph like mine, that gives the lawyer a power of attorney to endorse certain docs.......although we do not do so until we discuss with our client.
