Telephone Harassment

Telephone Harassment may sound like no big deal, but it is actually very serious. If convicted, the Judge can sentence you to up to one year in jail. Furthermore, depending on the facts in your case, it could get amended to a Felony such as Criminal Threat. It is very important that you get an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side.

One of our most recent jury trials was over a Phone Harassment charge. The jury came back and literally told the prosecutor that the State should not have even brought the case. Our client was found not guilty. Obviously, that does not automatically mean this will happen in your case, as each case, trial, and jury is different. As lawyers, we enjoy litigating for our clients in these cases.
