Orange County Harassment Defense Attorney
Santa Ana Stalking Defense Lawyers
In 1990, California created the first stalking law in the United States. Stalking or harassment charges are very serious. A first offense stalking charge can lead to years in prison. In certain cases, stalking or harassment charges can be a strike under California's three-strikes law. No matter what your situation is, if you or a loved one has been accused of these crimes, it is vital that you have a skilled defense attorney on your side. The Law Offices of David P. Schwarz has many years of experience defending individuals against stalking or harassment charges. We know what to do to seek a favorable outcome to these types of serious charges.
In many cases, stalking or harassment charges arise when a person does not understand the scope of a restraining order. Any contact, including e-mails, texts and telephone calls, can violate the terms of a restraining order and lead to these charges.
Our lawyers will explore every avenue to have these charges dismissed or reduced. Depending on the circumstances, we may seek a plea to lesser charges such as loitering or disturbing the peace. In other situations, the actions involved may not actually be credible threats as defined under the law. Whether you or someone you love faces these allegations, our law firm will take every step within the law to protect your rights against these serious charges.
