Las Vegas Stalking Lawyer 

Stalking in Las Vegas – usually defined as purposely engaging in actions that may cause another person to feel annoyed, frightened, intimidated, harassed, or terrorized for their or a household member’s safety. It also applies if the action actually causes a person to fear for their or their family’s safety. Several actions that are legal (like texting) may be identified as stalking if the victim is unwilling or suffers emotional distress. Like many crimes, a domestic violence attorney in Las Vegas can help you get a reduction or a dismissal for your case.

What Actions Can Be Considered Stalking?

Most states consider the following actions as stalking:

  • Following someone without permission
  • Harassment
  • Obtaining personal information
  • Taking pictures, videos, or audio without permission
  • Calling, texting, sending emails and gifts to an unwilling recipient
  • Threatening their target or their loved ones
  • Sexual assault
  • Unauthorized entry to their home

Is Stalking Domestic Violence?

Yes. Some cases of domestic violence have the abuser trying to reconcile with the person they are targeting, by performing the preceding actions. If you were charged with other offenses relating to domestic violence, you may need a lawyer to defend your domestic violence charge.

  • Aggravated stalking - In aggravating stalking, the suspect has threatened their victim with death or bodily harm through direct, or indirect contact. This is a category B felony in Nevada.
  • Cyber stalking - Cyber stalking is stalking through the use of the Internet, email, text messaging or any other similar means of communication that can publish or display information. It is a category C felony.
  • Violating extended orders from the court - A court may give extended orders to command someone to stay away or cease all forms of contact from a specific individual, most likely the alleged victim. Violating this order is a category C felony.

Defending Against Allegations of Stalking 

Several defenses are available against claims of stalking:

  • Your actions were part of the job. For example, the defendant may be a photographer or a reporter.
  • The victim could be lying just to spite you, or have other motivations for claiming that you were stalking.
  • Your actions did not cause any distress to the victim.
  • Your actions would not have caused distressed to any reasonable person.

    "This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire. Worth every penny."
    Ross Goodman is, without question, in a league of his own. From our very first meeting, it was clear this wasn’t just another defense attorney — Ross is the real deal. He knows the system, commands respect in the courtroom, and he knows how to get results when it matters the most.

    To be completely honest, we didn’t hire Ross right away — and that was our first mistake. We initially went with another well-known law firm, thinking we were getting a specific high-profile attorney. But when it came time for court, instead of the person we were promised, they sent in a junior lawyer we’d never met. I couldn’t even get straight answers to basic questions, and it quickly became clear that we were just another file on someone’s desk.

    That experience made me double down and insist that we bring Ross Goodman onto the case. I had already met with him in person and had done my homework. After spending an entire afternoon watching interviews, YouTube clips, and reading about his background (and his incredible family — yes, I’m now also a fan of his dad, Oscar Goodman), I knew this was the attorney we had to have. Thankfully, we made the switch — and everything changed.

    He took a very serious situation and turned it into a manageable, strategic resolution. He negotiated a plea that avoided a felony conviction — something we honestly didn’t think was possible. That outcome didn’t happen by chance — it happened because he knows how to talk to prosecutors, how to protect his clients when the stakes are high, and how to be the very best at what he does.

    He’s not the cheapest attorney in town — and that’s exactly the point. If you’re gambling with your freedom, your record, or your future, you want someone with real experience and a proven reputation. You don’t hire Ross to hope for a good outcome , you hire him because you want the best possible one.

    This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire.
    Worth every penny.
