Miami Worthless Check Attorneys

Are you facing charges for writing a bad check or using a debit card with insufficient funds in Miami, Florida? Our experienced Miami worthless check attorneys can help.

In Florida, it is illegal to write, issue, or use a check, draft, or debit card order when you do not have sufficient funds in your bank account to cover the payment. This is also known as “bad banking” or “check kiting.” It is also illegal to deposit or cash a check or other item with the intention to defraud someone.

If you are charged with violating this law by writing a check for an amount under $150, you could be charged with a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine or imprisonment. If you are charged with violating this law by writing a check for an amount of $150 or more, or if you use a debit card with insufficient funds, you could be charged with a felony, a more serious crime punishable by a long prison sentence.

Using a check or debit card to obtain goods or services is also illegal when you know you do not have enough money in your account to cover the payment. This is “obtaining property or services by means of a worthless check.” If caught doing this, you may be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the value of the goods or services you obtained.
