Southern California Criminal Threats Attorney
Being charged with committing a criminal threat has serious consequences. A criminal threat is considered a “wobbler.” This means that the prosecution can charge it as a felony or a misdemeanor. The prosecutor will normally charge it as a felony.
If the criminal threat is charged as a felony, you face up to three years in state prison.
If the criminal threat is charged as a misdemeanor, your maximum punishment can be up to one year in county jail.
