What Defines Stalking?
Even though at present there is confusion about the legality of New York's harassment laws, stalking and menacing statutes remain a useful tool on the prosecutor's belt.
With the rise of modern technology, a person can face stalking charges based merely on some of the following examples:
- Contact via text messages and email
- Communication through Facebook, Twitter, or other social media websites
- Location tracking through GPS devices or software
Depending on the exact nature of the stalking allegations, a person may face felony or misdemeanor charges. Stalking charges also lead to the issuance of Orders of Protection, which restrict an accused person's liberty and subject him or her to a greater likelihood of additional charges if there is further contact between the parties.

Testimonials

Mark Bederow came to the rescue on the worst day of my life. He represented me after a manic episode in 2016 during which I'd been violent. (At the time I was untreated and unmedicated for bipolar 1. I wrote a book about my very fortunate journey to acceptance and better health called BURN RATE: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, published 2022.) Under Mark's care, the case was ultimately dismissed and expunged. Forever grateful to Mark for shining light during the darkest days of my life. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding attorney, and it is a privilege that I was able to work with him. I feel lucky, and I wish Mark's services for anyone dealing with anything, including a mental health issue that becomes a criminal matter.- A.D.

We have dealt with many lawyers in the past several years and 99% of them want the most amount of money to do the least amount of work. Mark Bederow is not your typical lawyer. He’s the only lawyer I’ve ever met that actually listens to his client’s suggestions and utilizes their input, and if he doesn’t he explains why. I’ve never met a lawyer as intelligent, passionate about winning, and completely in his client’s corner. Mark Bederow is brilliant, he is a champion of justice, and his love for the law is evident as he relentlessly fights for his clients. He is definitely the best criminal lawyer in NYC, and quite possibly NY State.- A.F.
