Harassment Defense Lawyer in San Antonio

Arrested for Harassment?

Harassment includes actions which a reasonable person would consider to cause another distress. There is much conduct which falls under this category.  For instance it is prohibited to threaten bodily injury to another, to one's family or property.  It is also unlawful to communicate alarming news to another which one knows to be false.  The state has also recently outlawed the use of "electronic means" to harass others including a whole range of cell phone or computer activity.  This is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail and up to a $2,000 fine. If you or a family member is facing harassment charges it is important to obtain a strong defense.   You are urged to contact San Antonio domestic violence defense attorney John J. Fox.
