Los Angeles Terrorism Defense Attorney

Terrorism Charges are Extremely Serious

In this day and age, the word "terrorism" sparks deep fear and conjures memories of specific and very unpleasant incidents about things we see in the news and have even experienced in our homeland - but at its root, terrorism and the laws surrounding it are quite extensive and cover many types of illegal actions.  With increased national security, threats are not taken lightly, and such threats - realized or not - can even bring with them ten years in a federal prison if convicted.  If you are facing terrorism or terroristic threats charges, you will need the capable assistance of a highly experienced Los Angeles federal criminal defense lawyer.

As it is defined under federal law, terrorism consists of violent or dangerous acts, within or outside the borders of the United States, that violate U.S. criminal law and appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce civilians or government, with the purpose of influencing public policy or governmental conduct through mass destruction, kidnapping, or assassination.  As could be expected, these charges are grievous in nature.  Depending on the specific circumstances, attempted or accomplished acts behind an alleged act of terror, charges can lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted.  In fact, the very labeling of a "terrorist" by criminal prosecution can put one's life at risk due to the emotional surge of public opinion or rage.  It is crucial for you to procure outstanding legal counsel without delay should you face such charges.
