Accused of Stalking In Wisconsin?
Fight Back with an Aggressive Criminal
Defense
Like any criminal charge, stalking is treated very
seriously under Wisconsin criminal laws, and should be
handled carefully by an experienced defense lawyer.
According to the laws of Wisconsin, to be found guilty
of stalking, the state must prove:
- Defendant intentionally engaging in a course of
conduct directed at another
- The course of conduct
would have caused a reasonable person to suffer
emotional distress, or to fear bodily injury or death
to themselves or a member of their family or
household; or
- Defendant's acts caused another to suffer serious
emotional distress or induced fear in another of
bodily injury or death to themselves or a member of
their family or household; or
- Defendant knew or should have known that at least
one of the acts constituting the course of conduct
would cause another to suffer serious emotional
distress or place the person in reasonable fear of
bodily injury or death to themselves or their family
or household
Wisconsin Stalking Penalties
Stalking is a misdemeanor crime under Wisconsin state
law, and the maximum penalty is 3 years and 6 months
prison and a $10,000 fine.
Stalking Defense
Strategies
There are a number of legal strategies we can use
to beat a stalking charge. We can challenge
whether the statute is applicable, and whether or not
serious emotional distress was caused. If the evidence against you isn't very strong, we will
try to get the cased dismissed. And there may be other
motions that can be filed depending on the facts of the
case. There also may be a chance to negotiate for a lesser
charge.
