Defending Against Stalking Charges in Brevard County, FL

Defending these charges requires a sharp understanding of the law and a solid investigation into the alleged victim’s claims and the State’s case.

Often and for many reasons, the alleged victim may overstate or overembellish claims of stalking with respect to the threat of harm and the quantity of acts alleged to have been committed.
