Stalking: What May Require Immediate Attention

A stalking or cyberstalking matter may involve a pattern of contacts, surveillance, messages, online activity, location information, or conduct causing substantial emotional distress. Natalie Lopez, Esq. reviews the documents, deadlines, and facts that can affect the next legal decision.

Digital evidence should be preserved without impersonating anyone, accessing accounts without permission, or provoking new contact. Counsel can organize the pattern, evaluate attribution, and prepare admissible evidence or a fact-based response.

  • The complete course of conduct rather than a single isolated excerpt
  • Identity and control of phone numbers, accounts, profiles, devices, and addresses
  • Dates, frequency, content, location, witnesses, and requests to stop contact
  • Temporary protection, service, hearing timing, and safety concerns
  • Related criminal reports, workplace or school issues, and shared locations
