Extortion and Penalties in Riverside

If you have been charged with extortion, it is important to hire an experienced attorney that can defend your rights. Extortion is considered the crime of threatening another individual with violence or non-physical forms of injury such as damage to their reputation or personal property. Extortion is dissimilar to robbery or theft in the sense that the victim offers the property or other valuable item to the person that is threatening in order to avoid the threatened harm. Extortion is also an umbrella term that includes other types of offenses such as: blackmail, ransom and bribery. Being charged with extortion is a serious matter. It is not uncommon for jail or prison time to be part of the penalties imposed in a conviction for extortion. Hanson, Gorian & Bradford has the extensive experience and background necessary to help those that are facing serious white collar crime charges.

If a person is convicted of extortion in the U.S., they could receive a maximum 20 year prison sentence.  A convicted extortion offender may also be subject to legal consequences such as:  home detention, community service, restitution, monetary fines, and costs of prosecution. Aside from financial repayment, serious extortion offenders may be subject to lengthy terms of probation.
