Kidnapping

Charges of kidnapping in the state of Florida are taken very seriously, and a prosecutor will push for maximum penalties or enhanced penalties at every opportunity. As such, having a skilled defender on your side will prove to be the most important part of the entire criminal case. In many cases of kidnapping, a misunderstanding between family members leads to these serious and life-altering charges. A non-custodial parent will take their children on a surprise vacation, for example, without telling the custodial parent. As a result, kidnapping charges are filed. It is not uncommon for many kidnapping charges to be filed in the wake of a heated child custody battle when a parent wishes to retain sole custody of their children. Our law firm takes these charges very seriously, and will do anything in our power to ensure that you do not see harsh consequences for a crime you did not commit.
