Extortion Attorneys in Orange County, California

Being threatened or forced to pay/give up money, services or property to another by violence, property damage or harm to one’s reputation is extortion (also known as blackmailing). This theft crime is different from robbery because the physical danger is not imminent. For example: Brian contacts Michael and demands payments of $1000 per month in order to avoid having his house vandalized. Michael then makes payments to Brian because he fears that his home and family will be harmed. If you or someone you know is facing a criminal accusation of extortion it is extremely critical that you retain an Orange County extortion lawyer from Coffey & Coffey immediately for legal protection.
