Witness tampering is any attempt to intimidate, threaten or induce another to withhold evidence, avoid giving testimony, evade service of process or delay an official proceeding in a legal case. This is true for civil cases (lawsuits and family court) as well as criminal cases. Oftentimes, any contact between a subject and a potential witness can be construed as witness tampering once legal action has commenced. Not only can this derail a legal case, but it is always a felony carrying penalties from probation to life in prison. If you're charged with tampering or other harassment of a witness, you should speak to a Fort Lauderdale witness tampering criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
