Criminal Threats

San Diego Domestic Violence Lawyer

In the heat of the moment, we have all said things that we regret. Unfortunately, criminal charges can result from making a treat. A criminal threat occurs when a person makes a threat that would result in great bodily injury or death if carried out. This threat may be verbal, or made in writing via email, letter, note, etc. Criminal threats may be associated with domestic violence, when the threat is made to a spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or ex-spouse. Although the person who makes the treat may have absolutely no intention of carrying it out, he or she may still face felony charges and the real possibility of imprisonment, fines, probation and more. A criminal threat is also a "strike" offense under California's Three Strikes Law.
