Criminal harassment is a serious offense that can have a lasting impact on both the accused and the complainant.

At Kisel Law, we understand the complexities of harassment cases and are dedicated to protecting your rights and providing the strong legal representation you need during this challenging time.
What is Criminal Harassment?
Criminal harassment involves a pattern of behavior that causes another person to fear for their safety. In Canada, it is outlined under section 264 of the Criminal Code. This offense typically includes:
-
Repeatedly following someone
-
Repeated communication (calls, texts, emails) despite being asked to stop
-
Watching someone’s home, workplace, or other places they frequent
-
Threatening conduct toward the person or their loved ones
Even if there is no physical contact or violence involved, criminal harassment can lead to serious legal consequences. That’s why having a knowledgeable criminal harassment lawyer is essential.
