Atlanta Kidnapping Attorney

Defense for Kidnapping and Domestic Violence Charges in Atlanta

Kidnapping is a criminal offense that involves taking or holding another person against their will, or in the case of a minor, without the consent of the child's legal guardian. Kidnapping is a felony offense, punishable by serious penalties in Atlanta, Georgia. If you or someone you know was arrested or is under investigation for kidnapping or any related offense, it is important to talk to an attorney about your legal options and your rights in challenging these allegations. With the proper resources and knowledge to represent your interests, an experienced attorney can help you avoid a conviction and the serious repercussions this may bring.

Kidnapping may be relevant to domestic violence when it involves the false imprisonment or taking of a child by a non-custodial parent, against the custodial parent's will or without their knowledge. At Conaway & Strickler, P.C.  we represent clients throughout Atlanta and the surrounding areas in the face of kidnapping and false imprisonment charges, and we offer a free consultation to talk about your case and what we can do to help you. Retaining our services is particularly important when you consider the serious penalties that may be enforced for these charges:

  • False imprisonment (holding, arresting or confining another person against their will): felony offense, punishable by 1 to 10 years in prison.
  • Kidnapping (abducting or stealing another person against their will, when moving or concealing that person): felony offense, punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison. If the victim is less than 14 years old, the defendant may face 25 years to life in prison.
  • Kidnapping for ransom or kidnapping causing bodily injury - felony offense, punishable by life imprisonment or death.

If you are facing serious domestic and criminal charges such as kidnapping, it is immediately important to involve a seasoned Atlanta domestic violence attorney. Your ability to secure this type of legal representation will strongly influence the outcome of your case. In some cases, when a non-custodial parent is stuck in traffic on his or her way back to taking the children to their custodial parent, the custodial parent will call 911 and report that you have kidnapped the kids. Kidnapping within the family is an unfortunate crime that occurs often enough that law enforcement will usually arrest the alleged offender on the spot every time. Without giving you a chance to explain your story, you will be booked and charged with kidnapping. If you find yourself in a similar situation, it is vitally imperative for you to call our firm today.
