Phoenix Kidnapping Defense Attorney

About Kidnapping Charges in Phoenix

Kidnapping is a felony offense and if the alleged victim has been transported over state lines, it could be charged as a federal offense.  When an individual claims that you restrained them and that you had the criminal intent to do so, the charge is usually kidnapping.  There has been a huge rise in cases of kidnapping throughout our state, and law enforcement is particularly concerned with this crime and identifying and arresting any individual who commits the offense.  If you have been caught in the net of law enforcement and are now charged with this crime, you need to have your case assessed immediately by a Phoenix criminal defense lawyer from Palmisano Law Firm.

In many cases, these charges are related to a bitter divorce or custody battle and children can be in the middle of a situation in which one parent is charged with kidnapping when they fail to return their child or children after visitation.  The courts do not look kindly upon parents who are so unable to communicate that they begin using the legal system to damage each other, or taking risks or putting their own children into any kind of jeopardy.  It is important that the defense team gets to work at once in any such case, as often they come about when emotions are running high and an error in judgment is the result.  Usually something can be done about reducing the damage to the accused in such a case, but a painstaking evaluation of the situation and determination about the approach to take in the defense should occur immediately.
