Houston Kidnapping Attorney

Kidnapping is a very emotionally charged offense. People are typically kidnapped for either money, revenge against a spouse, or for political reasons. While there are many legitimate cases of people getting kidnapped, tragically there are those who accuse innocent people of kidnapping due to having a vendetta against them.  There are multiple scenarios of people being in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting caught up in a situation out of their control or simply involved in a gross misunderstanding.

Kidnapping is legally defined as deliberately abducting another person and restricting their movement and liberty. In some cases, the kidnapping offense is related to a child custody battle or other personal matter that has gotten out of control; other kidnapping allegations could include the threat of deadly force. Kidnapping is a serious felony offense and in cases in which state borders have been crossed, it is likely to be charged as a federal crime.
