Charged with Criminal Threats
Criminal Defense
Male client in Long Beach Courthouse, May 2019.
Our client was charged with two misdemeanor counts of criminal threats in violation of Penal Code section 422. The allegations arose out of a verbal dispute with a neighbor. The client was a vice president in the banking industry and could not afford a criminal conviction of this kind. Through negotiations with the prosecution and a complete review of how the incident came about, the charges were reduced to one count of disturbing the peace in violation of section 415 and counseling.
