Legal Question
extortion
I have been charged with extortion by the district attoneys office. I sent a letter to a person who had assaulted me twice asking for damages to be paid for medical bills and lost wages and pain and suffering. I informed him if he did not agree to the asking sum that I would take legal action against him. I got this information to write this letter from a NOLO book on civil claims. My biggest problem is that I put my attorneys name on the letter instead of mine. My attorney rightfully was upset and told me she did not want to represent me further, which I agreeed. Is this extortion or just damn bad judgement on my part. Does the DA have a case against me or shouldn't the attorney be the one who would be seeking damages.
