How We Defend Stalking Charges

We approach stalking defense with precision and discipline. These cases often hinge on intent, interpretation, and credibility. 

Our strategy may include:

• Closely analyzing whether the legal elements of “pattern,” “malice,” and “threat” are actually met
• Reviewing text messages, emails, call logs, and social media communications in full context
• Challenging exaggerated or selectively presented evidence
• Examining whether law enforcement properly conducted the investigation
• Identifying motives to fabricate or distort allegations, particularly during divorce or custody disputes
• Filing motions to suppress improperly obtained evidence

Where appropriate, we pursue dismissal, reduction of charges, or negotiated resolutions designed to protect your record. If the case proceeds to trial, we prepare thoroughly and challenge the prosecution’s narrative at every stage.

The Problems Associated with Stalking Allegations

Stalking cases often arise in highly personal circumstances, such as disputes between former partners or during a divorce. Allegations may stem from repeated communication, social media activity, unexpected encounters, or claims of threatening behavior.

Once a complaint is filed, consequences can include:

• Emergency restraining or harassment prevention orders
• No-contact conditions and removal from your home
• Arrest and pretrial restrictions
• Employment consequences
• Public stigma tied to domestic violence allegations

In many cases, the alleged conduct is disputed. What one person characterizes as “harassment” may have been an attempt to reconcile, resolve custody issues, or communicate about shared responsibilities. Context matters;  we thoroughly examine and present it when it is critical to your defense.
