Extortion is a crime in which an individual intimidates, coerces, or threatens another party with physical harm or character defamation to exact financial gain. This can include the unlawful acquisition of money, property, or services, though an individual can be charged regardless of whether he or she has actually received compensation, so long as a threat was made. If the extortion is made via telephone, mail, or any other method that may be deemed a tool of interstate commerce, it can fall into the jurisdiction of the federal government. It is impertinent that you contact a legal professional at MacGregor & Collins, LLP if you have been involved or could have been involved in acts of this nature.
