Stalking and Harassment Defense

Phoenix Order Against Harassment - Felony Stalking

Arizona law not only provides severe penalties for domestic assault, especially in felony cases of aggravated domestic violence, it also prohibits other conduct covered under the heading of stalking and harassment. These offenses generally involve offensive or threatening behavior that does not result in actual bodily harm, but that instead represents a pattern of conduct that would cause fear in a reasonable person.

If you're facing charges of stalking, harassment, or violation of an order against harassment, contact the Weingart Law Firm in Tempe. Our experienced criminal trial lawyers can defend you against allegations of the following:

• Harassment, or conduct that would reasonably result in fear
• Stalking, or pursuit or observation of a person for purposes of harassment
• Cyberstalking, or use of the Internet to stalk a person
• Interference with a judicial proceeding, which is the charge for violation of a restraining order, order for protection, or order against harassment
• Aggravated harassment, a Class 6 felony, which includes an act of harassment together with violation of a domestic violence protection order

Stalking or harassment can also be charged as dangerous crimes with mandatory prison sentences if weapons or bodily harm is involved. Under some circumstances, a motor vehicle can be considered a weapon.
