Nashville Stalking Defense Lawyers

A Tenacious Approach to Stalking & Harassment Charges

Stalking via social media websites is a relatively new form of crime. Leaving voicemails is also a form of stalking made possible by a particular type of telecommunication.

Other varieties of stalking have been perennial problems for victims, such as:

• Unwanted following
• Harassing
• Lurking around the workplace of the victim
• Hanging out in parking lots where the victim's car may be parked
• Leaving messages with friends, co-workers, neighbors, and others

Proving charges of stalking means proving that an offender has pursued a "willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested…” and that actually caused the victim to feel this way.
