What Is Kidnapping?
Kidnapping is the crime of taking someone by force or fear to another location. There is no requirement that a person move across interstate lines to be guilty of kidnapping. The circumstances of each situation have an enormous impact on the nature of the charges and the likelihood of a conviction. It is important to find a defense attorney who understands the law and the criminal justice system in order to protect legal rights.
We are dedicated solely to criminal defense law in order to provide the highest quality service and most knowledgeable representation that clients deserve.

Kidnapping and child abduction are different crimes. In cases of parental kidnapping, where child custody is at issue, the actual charge of kidnapping may not be appropriate. The specific facts of a given case may make all the difference in terms of punishment and the manner in which the case should be handled.
