While we defend clients charged with all types of kidnapping, hostage taking,
and child abduction, we most frequently represent clients in kidnapping
and false imprisonment cases related to
domestic violence. These cases can include spouses, children, parents, or anyone you have
ever dated.
Penalties for kidnapping cases can be extremely severe. Don't try to
explain the situation to authorities and expect them to see the facts
your way. Contact Blumenthal Law Offices for experienced legal advice.
