My neice, a victim of identy theft, was charged with passing a false check. The police have the check and bank photo, which resemble my neice. How can I get them to do fingerprint test on the check to prove it wasn't my neice who tried to cash the check?

Find the highest qualified lawyer in this particular field, and,

Learn if that lawyer would charge for an initial consulation.

In any case, dealing directly with law enforcement officers is a roll-of-the-dice. One must remember that their job is to enforce the law, not to provide legal advice or assistance.

In the same way that one does not expect to hire a qualified person in any field for free, so too does the situation exists with lawyers. Furthermore, if a lawyer (other than a public defender, etc.) does agree to work for no fee, oftentimes the service provided is less than perfect: the work that pays will be done first.


Aside: in my experience (!), law enforcement officers appear to better-trained than years ago.

Get a criminal lawyer - NOW. S/he will have more weight to push around and should this actually reach the DA's office a lawyer can 'jaw bone' them to doing more investigation, most often even before it goes to pretrial (court).
