Florida Extortion Defense Attorney

Extortion charges in Miami Florida

Extortion is a white collar crime and occurs when a person threatens violence against another person or persons to illegally obtain monetary compensation. Often money is not the only compensation, other types of valuable goods or services can be used for extortion. Physical violence is used to threaten the victim to give the offender what is requested. If you are convicted of extortion you could be facing long periods of time in jail or prison, community service, large fines, payment of restitution or probation.

Not only can individuals be charged with extortion but so can businesses, criminal enterprises, public officials and law enforcement officers. If convicted the consequences could include jail/prison time restitution or fines. Most of the penalties depend upon the nature of the crime or if a deadly weapon is used which will increase the penalties.
