Extortion Charges and Protecting Your Future
Extortion is a serious white-collar crime that involves coercing, threatening, or intimidating someone into providing money, property, or services under duress. In Florida, extortion is classified as a felony offense, and convictions can lead to steep fines, lengthy prison sentences, and long-term damage to your professional and personal reputation. Because extortion often involves written, verbal, or electronic communications, prosecutors frequently use digital records, text messages, emails, and recorded conversations as evidence in these cases.
Florida law takes extortion allegations seriously, and prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions, often using state and federal resources to build their case. If you’re under investigation or facing charges, securing an experienced defense lawyer is essential. At Jeff T. Gorman Law Offices, we develop strategic defense plans that challenge weak evidence, scrutinize investigative procedures, and pursue charge reductions or dismissals. Don’t wait—contact us today for a strong and proactive defense strategy that protects your rights, reputation, and future.
