Orange County Stalking Attorney

Stalking Charges & Penalties in Orange County, CA

If you have been accused of stalking, you may be in danger not only of facing criminal charges and serious penalties, but also of having a restraining order or order of protection filed against you. This court order may prohibit you from coming into contact with the alleged victim or from coming within a certain distance of the victim. A violation of an order of this kind may result in separate criminal charges and the possibility of imprisonment if you are convicted.

As a former Deputy District Attorney with experience in the Domestic Violence Unit, attorney Fred Thiagarajah has the specific experience to apply to your charges and assist you in avoiding a criminal conviction of this kind.

What is Stalking?

Stalking is a course of continued conduct that may include following, contacting or harassing another person, and making a credible threat to that person's safety or to the safety of that person's family. In relation to domestic violence, stalking may involve threatening or following an ex-spouse or person from a former romantic relationship. Stalking charges may arise from allegations made by an angry ex-girlfriend or boyfriend, or a jilted ex-spouse.
