Kidnapping & Stalking

When a person is physically removed from their location against their will, the act is called “kidnapping.” Adults and children can be victims of kidnapping and anyone can be accused, even if the kidnapping wasn’t their intent. If you have been accused of kidnapping, it’s important to seek the representation of an experienced Duluth kidnapping defense lawyer.

Many kidnapping cases are due to custody battles or even ransom cases. There are times when an alleged kidnapping isn’t a kidnapping at all. Instead, it is due to a misunderstanding, such as thinking a child was to be brought home at a time other than the one specified. In the case of stalking, it can be easy to accuse someone of stalking when that’s not what they’re doing at all.

No matter why you’ve been charged with kidnapping and/or stalking, you deserve to be defended by an experienced criminal attorney. You have rights that need to be protected and a future to live

Kidnapping is a felony offense and that means there are serious consequences. The penalties include jail time with or without parole, fines, restitution, and counseling. Collateral consequences can include having difficulty finding a place to live, finding a job, going back to school, and much more. This is why it is ideal for you to exercise your right to defend yourself against the charges.

Even in a stalking case, there can be criminal penalties and collateral consequences. If convicted of stalking, you could spend time in jail and pay fines. The person being allegedly stalked may also take out a restraining order, which can result in another set of penalties if violated.
