San Diego Stalking Attorney
Stalking Lawyer in San Diego
If you've been accused of stalking someone, you need to hire a San Diego criminal attorney to represent your case. California has serious penalties for those who are convicted of stalking. Many times, the people who are accused of stalking someone had no malicious intent at all. Often, the circumstances around a stalking case involve an ended relationship such as a divorce or break-up. These cases can be very emotional for the people involved.
At the Spiegel Law Group, we understand the trouble you’re experiencing. Accusations of stalking can ruin relationships with your family members or children. Additionally, if the case is serious enough, you could face imprisonment and large fines. If the act violated a restraining order, the jail sentence could be as long as four years. In the state of California, a convicted stalker may even be required to register as a sex offender as part of their sentence. This can affect your ability to find a job, and scar your reputation for the rest of your life.
However, proving that you are guilty of stalking can be difficult. There are many defenses against a stalking charge. To get a "guilty" verdict, the prosecution must prove that you intentionally and maliciously followed or harassed someone, and that you did so repeatedly. Although these laws were developed to protect people from legitimate stalking behaviors, they are too often abused. Because so many actions can be construed as "stalking", the law lends itself to broad interpretation and misuse.
