Extortion and other Racketeering Offenses in Florida
Extortion in the state of Florida can refer any number of activities where one party threatens or pressures another in order to gain something. One of the most common forms of extortion is a threat of violence to extract monetary payment from someone. Extortion, however, isn't always so clear. What one party considers a normal business action—the canceling of a contract if certain terms of agreement are not met—could be considered extortion by the other. In other words, not all state and federal extortion cases are prosecutable, and with the right criminal defense lawyer—like Miami's Bruce Lehr—your extortion charges might be reduced or even dropped altogether.
Extortion is often associated with racketeering and can be an integral component of the prosecutor's RICO (Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations) case. Attorney Bruce Lehr has the experience you need to dismantle a RICO indictment. Contact him at his Miami law office to discuss your case.
