These are threats of physical harm or violence against another in order to get them to do something, or refrain from doing something. This violation may be filed as a misdemeanor or as a felony and carries harsh penalties in California. Many times it will be your word against the word of another. The courts will examine issues such as your motive and ability to make the threat and to carry it out, as well as, the other person’s apprehension of the imminent threat.

EARLY INTERVENTION BY COUNSEL IN KEY TO A PROPER DEFENSE

It is extremely important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney begin working on your case as early as possible. Critical issues, such as how your particular case will be filed and what charges will be leveled against you, are decided, many a time, very soon after your arrest or during the investigatory period. Early intervention gives us an opportunity to potentially reduce or dismiss either felony or misdemeanor charges against you before the first court date.

Over the years we have successfully represented many clients charged with Criminal Threats as described above. We have observed that the longer one postpones in hiring counsel, the greater the problem may become.

Please feel free to call for an initial FREE CONSULTATION in our office, or in the privacy and convenience of your own home, during which we can explore how best to defend and resolve your case. Our 24-hour telephone number is (818) 205-1555.
