Criminal Threats

Defending Charges of Criminal Threats in Los Angeles, Rancho Cucamonga and Van Nuys

California law regards the communication of threats, even if nothing further happens, as a crime of violence. As such, a charge of criminal threats or terroristic threats can be charged as a felony and treated as a third strike offense that could put you away for a long time.

Our main goal in a criminal threats case is to do everything possible to limit your exposure. We work toward making sure that the case is handled as a misdemeanor or dismissed whenever possible.

We also make sure that the prosecution and the jury receive the whole story of the incident. Statements taken out of context can sometimes mean something entirely different when the details are presented.

Seymour Amster's experience with the investigation of criminal charges and his skill with cross-examination at trial can maximize the chance that a juror hearing the complete story of the case will have a reasonable doubt as to your guilt.

Even better than leaving a determination of guilt to the jury is our law firm's ability to convince the prosecution that a conviction will be more work than it's worth. Our ability to present the strengths of your defense at the earliest stages of the case often means that you'll never have to face the most serious potential charges.
