Generally speaking, kidnapping is the taking of a person against their will from one place to another. It involves a situation in which the person taken does not have the freedom of movement, will or decision due to violence, force, threat or intimidation. Kidnapping could also be related to other charges including holding a person for ransom, sexual abuse or rape.

Kidnapping laws vary from state to state, and the punishments can differ depending on the circumstances of the case. Kidnapping charges must be taken very seriously, as they typically range from significant jail time to life in prison with high bail amounts -- or even no bail amounts. Moreover, they can lead to other serious charges that might lead to additional prison time and the possibility of lifetime registration as a violent or sexual offender.

LibertyBell Law Group's defense team knows what it takes to defend you against this serious charge. The first step to formulating a defense strategy is to completely understand the kidnapping charge as well as other potential charges that might be filed against you.

Mounting a defense requires a defense team, not just a single attorney. Prosecutors generally do not pursue cases that they don't feel they can prove in trial. This is why it is critical to dig even deeper into your case than the prosecution and inject the reasonable doubt that will let you win in the courtroom if necessary.
