Stalking Defense Attorney
Serving Wyoming and South Dakota
When relationships turn ugly, protection orders and stalking charges can leave you feeling like there is nowhere you can go for help. Our skilled criminal defense team knows how to handle these emotionally charged allegations, and can help you get a fair result.
How We Help: Stalking Defense
Sometimes a person charged with stalking may not realize that what they have done may be considered criminal behavior. Other times, stalking charges come only a after long, contentious breakdown of a relationship and the entry of a protective order. Sending text messages, driving by someone's home or place of employment and sending messages via Facebook or Twitter may seem harmless, but if the recipient contacts the police, all of these things can be used against you.
When you find yourself facing stalking charges, you need an experienced criminal defense team willing to wade into the history and help you present your strongest defense. Our founder, Attorney Christina L. Williams, is a former prosecutor with over 15 years of courtroom experience in Wyoming and South Dakota. She has seen the other side of stalking charges and convictions, and she knows what to look for. With Christina at the helm our team will review your case objectively and provide you an honest assessment, so that you know whether to take a plea or fight for a not-guilty verdict at trial.
Misdemeanor and Felony Stalking Defenses
Stalking in Wyoming is usually a misdemeanor charge, but it may become a felony if:
- The act violates terms of the accused's probation or bail; or
- Is in violation of a protection order.
In those cases, a person charged with stalking could face up to 10 years in prison. In addition, repeated acts of stalking can also be charged as a felony, and could send a person to prison. In order to avoid serious consequences, you need to get a skilled criminal defense team on your side as soon as possible. Our team will make sure you understand what to do, or avoid doing, to keep from ending up with a felony conviction.
Compassionate and Patient Representation
Stalking charges often bring a lot of emotions to bare. You never want to feel hurried or disrespected while making a decision that could change your life. Our criminal defense team will take all the time you need to understand your situation and explain the law, the process, and any possible consequences of a stalking conviction. We will treat you with compassion and patience as we work through the process together.
