Kidnapping Lawyer Serving Chino, Chino Hills, Norco, Riverside, Corona, Eastvale and South Corona

Kidnapping is defined as using force or fear to take a person and move them a substantial distance against their will.  It is an extremely serious charge with potentially harsh consequences.

Kidnapping is a felony offense.  Individuals found guilty will face a jail sentence of up to 8 years, heavy fines and parole or probation.  If the kidnapping was of a child up to 14 years, the individual will face a prison term of up to 11 years.  If the kidnapping charge is accompanied by other charges such as assault & battery or sexual assault, the prison term and penalties can be even more severe. A kidnapping conviction will count as a strike in relation to the three strikes policy here in California.

Kidnapping Defense

There can be many factors that affect a kidnapping case.  Sometimes kidnapping cases arise out of custody disputes or avoidance of a violent spouse.  If the defendant reasonably believed that the movement that took place was not against the other person's will and was consented to, then the defendant is not guilty.  If the other person consented to go with the defendant then the individual is again, not guilty of kidnapping. 

Immediately obtaining skilled legal representation after being charged with a serious crime can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case.  With our experienced legal team, our firm can work to mount a compelling defense on your behalf.
