Forgery in Arizona is governed by ARS 13-2002, which gives prosecutors broad authority to pursue charges when they believe someone acted with the intent to defraud. These cases often involve financial records, identification documents, checks, contracts, or electronic records. In Phoenix and across Maricopa and Pinal Counties, forgery cases are often charged alongside other fraud-related crimes, which can significantly increase the stakes in criminal law.
