This sounds difficult. Cases like these require a very close look at the supposedly forged instruments, and the background history of the instruments. This is a very serious charge and you need a lawyer to defend you.
Whenever you get a check or a money order that looks like it's been altered, stop. Don't just deposit it, ask questions, get an unaltered replacement. And if someone says, "Don't worry about it," don't listen.
