Aggressive Menacing & Threat Charge Defense in Ohio

Strategic Defense Against Menacing & Stalking Allegations

At the Law Office of David A. Chicarelli Co., LPA, we defend individuals accused of menacing, aggravated menacing, and menacing by stalking in municipal and county courts throughout Warren, Montgomery, and Butler counties. Threat allegations frequently arise from heated disputes, broken relationships, or misunderstandings that get misconstrued by law enforcement.

What Do I Do If Accused of Menacing or Making Threats?

Threat allegations often turn on digital communication context. Take these steps if charged:

1. State Identity & Decline Statement Interviews

• Provide legal name and ID: Hand physical identification to responding officers upon request.
• Decline police questioning: Say: "I am establishing my identity, but I decline to make statements without my lawyer."

2. Preserve All Digital Communications & Text History

• Save text & social media threads: Backup full electronic conversations showing the complete dispute context.
• Never delete messages: Deleting electronic records can result in evidence tampering charges.

3. Retain Experienced Misdemeanor Defense Litigators

• Challenge subjective fear claims: Demonstrate lack of intent or absence of reasonable fear of serious harm.
• Proven local authority: The Law Office of David A. Chicarelli Co., LPA delivers over 50 years of courtroom experience to protect your record.
