Is my lease agreement legally binding if my signature was forged?
If one party knew of the recording when the admission was made, regardless of any state law to the contrary, under federal law, 18 United States Code Sections 2511 (c) and (d), the recording is lawful and admissible. Under Article 6 Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, federal law SHALL be the supreme law of the land and the judges of every state shall be bound thereby; any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. Under New York Times v. Sullivan (1964) and NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware (1983), a state court cannot enforce any rule of law that interferes with federal law, regardless of the state rules origin. I represented a brother and minority shareholder against his brother and majority shareholder who forged my clients name on a personal guarantee. My client was not required to pay a dime.
