Harassment may sound simple - but it can have serious consequences and it can quickly escalate into an even more serious matter.
If you are charged with harassment, you need strong advocacy to defend your rights and push for the best outcome available in your circumstances. Take a quick look at the statute below and note how the penalties escalate with subsequent convictions:
