Stalking, Striking, Threatening Can Amount to Harassment
While stalking, harassment or assault may not seem all that serious, they may be classified as criminal behaviors and subject to severe penalties. Methods of criminal harassment may include emails, letters, phone calls, voice mail messages or other actions deemed to be intentionally causing annoyance or alarm. Assault or harassment may involve striking, shoving, pushing, kicking or threatening harm to another person.
Is It a Behavior Pattern? Or a One-Time Angry Outburst?
Defining criminal harassment often falls into grey areas, especially because people can misunderstand each other's true intent. A one-time charged moment may not be as convincing as a pattern of behavior over time. Our first step if you become a client of Adler & Karliner will be for one of our lawyers to listen very carefully to your side of the story. We need a clear understanding of what happened, including any mitigating factors that may prove to be the basis of a successful defense before prosecutors.
