A Stalking Defense Attorney Can Provide Defense Options for Your Charges

Compared to other states in the country, California has some of the strictest stalking laws on the books. If you have been charged with or accused of stalking, then you should contact an attorney right away. This is not a situation in which you want to simply wait and see what will come next. Taking acting right away can increase your chances of a positive outcome. In fact, you can even call us before charges are filed and we may be able to prevent them from being filed.

We have handled many kinds of stalking charges

At Chambers Law Firm, we have handled many different types of stalking cases. We have worked with stalking charges for many clients and have achieved the best possible outcome in many cases. We work to ensure your rights are respected and that the case is taken care of quickly as possible.

In the state of California, stalking is defined as following, harassing, or threatening a person to the point that they are afraid for their own safety or the safety of their family. It also involves these actions being done often or over and over again. Some of the behaviors that can fit into the definition of stalking include sending unwanted gifts, following home a coworker, driving by a person’s place of work or their home, running into a person “by accident,” making harassing phone calls, sending many emails, text, or letters.

Potential defense options for charges of stalking

The right defense for your case will of course depend on the specifics of your case. We may work to show that the allegations against you are false. The reality is that a person can be accused of stalking by someone who is angry or wants revenge. We can bring in investigators and expert witnesses to review the evidence against you, whether it is made up of DNA, video, audio, or handwriting, and show that even if the person was stalked, you were not the person who did it.

Another defense option is to show that any threats you made were not credible. It is not illegal to make a threat if it is not credible. For example, if you made a threat that you could not possibly care out, such as blowing up a house with a nuclear bomb, that is not enough to reasonably make the person fear for their lives – and as a result stalking did not occur.

Finally, we may argue that what you said or did was covered by your First Amendment right to free speech. If there is a lot of solid evidence against you, then we may work to have the charges reduced via plea deal.
