Harassment

Criminal Defense Lawyer: Harassment

Harassment is a form of domestic violence. You don't have to make a verbal threat or a threat of physical violence to be charged with harassing behavior. If the victim feels threatened, then nearly any action can be considered harassment—including sending gifts.

A person who feels threatened by a spouse, domestic partner, family member, or someone who he or she once dated, can take out a civil restraining order to prevent harassment.

These restraining orders prohibit any type of contact with the person who holds the restraining order, including:

• Phone calls
• Mail
• E-mails
• Unwanted gifts
• Visits at home or at work
• Driving by the residence
• Physically coming within 100 yards of the person

The actions of customer service people, sales people, and telemarketers can all be considered harassment.

If you have been charged with violating a civil restraining order or if you have been charged with any type of harassment, from verbal threats to repeated calls and e-mails, you should have an experienced criminal defense attorney representing your interests. We can also offer defense to charges of stalking.
