We Understand All Facets of Your Case
What does Minnesota law say about dishonored checks?
Minnesota Statute 609.535 states that issuing a check—knowing the funds are insufficient at the time of issuance—is illegal. Yet, there are important exceptions, like checks given for past considerations, which can significantly impact the legal outcome.
How do legal exceptions affect my case?
Exceptions can potentially lead to a dismissal of charges. For instance, if a check was issued as a past consideration and doesn’t fall under exceptions like payroll, we might secure a case dismissal based on these statutory specifics.
Can my dishonored check charge be dismissed?
Yes, in many cases. I have successfully argued for dismissal based on exceptions in the statute, such as proving that the exchanged check was indeed for past consideration.
What constitutes 'past consideration' under this statute?
Past consideration involves a scenario where the check is issued after the goods or services have been received. Notably, this does not apply to payroll checks or checks for employee benefits.
What should I do if I'm accused of issuing a dishonored check?
