Kidnapping Lawyer in Philadelphia

Kidnapping Cases

Kidnapping involves the unlawful moving of another person a substantial distance or illegally confining them. To qualify as kidnapping, the victim must be under 14 or incapacitated or the offender must have used force, threat or deception. The lack of consent of a parent, guardian or other person responsible for the alleged victim also renders this action illegal. Kidnapping charges sometimes arise during messy divorces, especially when there is a bitter ongoing custody dispute .
