Kidnapping Representation: Experienced State and Federal Criminal Defense

Prior to 1968, kidnapping required a forcible abduction of the victim. The present law, however, requires an abduction and a holding of a person against his will. No force is required to accomplish the abduction. People often assume that kidnapping charges are only brought against people who do not know the victim. In my experience, however, I have learned that many kidnapping cases actually involve close friends, family members or non-custodial parents. Whatever your situation entails, I will work hard to see your rights are protected and that your case is heard.

The offense of kidnapping requires at least slight asportation, i.e. moving the person against his will. It is crucial that a kidnapping case or a case of kidnapping with bodily injury, is thoroughly investigated. In my experience, the facts of a given case may support lesser charges and even the dismissal of criminal charges.
