How Can A Lawyer Help Your Extortion Case?

What is Extortion?

Attaining money or property by threat to a victims property or loved ones, intimidation, or false claim of pretending to be of someone else other than you is. It is a felony in all states, except that a straight threat to damage the victim is usually treated as the crime of robbery. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose and release embarrassing, damaging information to family, friends or the general public. Defending those accused of extortion criminal charges is where Wise Laws stands out from the rest. Our affiliated lawyers of Wise Laws have extensive experience combined with an intimate understanding of extortion legal issues that gives you an advantage in court, where it counts the most.

Extortion Using Blackmail

Blackmail is extortion by threatening an additional person's reputation or organization with the disclosure of harmful or secret information that would be damaging to that person if released. The information to be released may be true or false. The disclosure of the information does not have to be criminal nor does the offender actually have to receive money or property for the act to be deemed extortion.
