Criminal Threats/Stalking Lawyer

If you were charged with a criminal threat or stalking, the charge may carry a misdemeanor or criminal charge. The more credible the threat of harm to the person being stalked, the more serious the charges. While a misdemeanor charge can lead to probation or a sentence in a county jail, a felony will require incarceration in a state prison. If a restraining order has been placed against you, violations of it are severe, and will be considered a separate offense than the stalking or criminal threat. This charge will also be punishable by a state prison sentence.
