Criminal Threats Attorneys

A criminal threat is when you threaten to kill or physically harm someone, whether this threat is verbal, written, or by phone, and especially if this person lives with a reasonable fear.

You can be charged with Criminal Threats whether or not you have the ability to carry out the threat, even if you really do not intend to execute the threat. What this means is that prosecutors can charge it as a misdemeanor or a felony. If convicted of the misdemeanor, you face up to one year in a county jail. If convicted of the felony, you face up to four years in California state prison. The use of a dangerous or deadly weapon increases your sentence by one year.

Take into account that there are people who handle this irresponsibly, and if you have been falsely accused of this crime, come to our attorneys at Progresso Legal Group P.C. so that we can help you.
