Orlando Kidnapping Lawyer

Protecting Clients from Criminal Convictions

Under Florida law, kidnapping is a serious crime that occurs when a person forcibly, secretly, or by threat confines, abducts, or imprisons another person against his or her will, without lawful authority, and with the intent to hold them for ransom, to use them as a shield or hostage, to commit or facilitate a commission of a felony, to inflict great bodily harm upon or to terrorize the victim, or to interfere with the performance of a governmental or political function.

Kidnapping is considered to be a first-degree felony punishable by up to life in prison, life on probation, and fines up to $10,000. It is imperative that you get an advocate on your side who can fight for you. Contact the Orlando kidnapping lawyer at Parikh Law today to schedule your free consultation.
