What is extortion?

Extortion is more commonly known as blackmail. The typical extortion scenario involves asking a person for financial compensation in exchange for keeping a piece of potentially harmful information out of certain hands. Some examples include:

• Threatening to send condemning pictures to a newspaper if a large payment is not made
• Threatening to reveal evidence about illegal financial movements to law enforcement if a raise or a promotion is not provided
• Threatening to send information of an affair to a person's significant other if a large payment is not made

Of course, these matters can be much more complex and are often one-of-a-kind. Our lawyers have the knowledge to take on even the most challenging extortion case.
