Criminal Harassment Defined

Criminal harassment includes extreme, repetitive acts on the part of one individual that make the recipient fear for his or her safety. Acts that can be considered the basis for criminal harassment charges include:

• Harassing phone calls
• Harassing mailings or Internet communications
• Repeatedly following the person (commonly referred to as stalking)
• Spending time outside the dwelling place or workplace of the person
• Any threatening conduct toward the person’s family
• Uttering threats

If you find yourself charged with performing any of the conduct above or any similar conduct, contact us to learn how we can help you with your defence.

A Comprehensive Approach to Your Criminal Harassment Case

The first meeting with a Neuberger & Partners LLP lawyer will involve a detailed review of the background to the allegations in order to assist with identifying potentially helpful evidence. In many cases, allegations of criminal harassment involve cellphone, smartphone and computers as mediums for communication. It is vital to any defence that the lawyer you hire has extensive experience knowing where to look for important defence evidence, and how to effectively use this evidence in a trial.

Equally as important is the knowledge of how to challenge potentially damaging evidence either through rebutting with other evidence or in bringing applications at trial to exclude the potentially damaging evidence. We often use experts in various fields to assist with defending clients, such as private investigators, computer and Internet experts. The lawyers at Neuberger & Partners LLP will work with you to develop a strong comprehensive defence.

We will analyze the Crown’s case against you to determine if your actions would have led to any reasonable person to fear for his or her safety. We will review the evidence and interview any witnesses. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that we thoroughly prepare you for your court hearing, including holding mock examinations and cross-examinations. Our lawyers will be sure to answer all of your questions and keep you informed of any developments in your case as they arise.
