Stalking defense in west palm beach

Understanding What Constitutes Stalking

Florida has specific laws in place that forbid people from stalking each other. Simple stalking is a misdemeanor but if it escalates into what is called aggravated stalking, it is a felony charge and carries serious penalties. Have you or someone you know been accused of stalking? If so, I am Phillip Ridolfo, a West Palm Beach criminal attorney and I would like to talk with you about your case. Contact me at The Law Offices of Phillip T. Ridolfo, Jr., and I will personally discuss your concerns with you and determine how I can help in the case against you.

Simple stalking occurs when an individual deliberately, repeatedly and with malice follows or harasses another person. The harassing can occur face to face, by telephone, through cyberspace, or anywhere and any way a person can be contacted.

To rise to the level of aggravated stalking, the offense must contain one of the following:

  • Credible threats with the intent to make someone in reasonable fear of death or bodily injury
  • Stalking a minor under 16 years of age
  • Stalking a person after a violation of restraining order or any court imposed ban of conduct

Being accused of a crime can bring into play paralyzing feelings of fear and confusion; and under stress, you may not know where to turn for the right legal representation. My law firm, with 25 years of knowledge and expertise, has the clear understanding of the law that is needed in your case. I will vigorously examine the victim's claims to determine if they are factual and to ensure that they haven't been overstated. With my extensive trial experience and ability to recognize the tactics used by the prosecution to win cases, I will work to get the charges against you reduced or even dismissed altogether.
