Virginia Beach Kidnapping Lawyer

The charge of abduction or kidnapping covers a wide range of acts. A clear-cut kidnapping for ransom is obviously an abduction. An abduction charge may also result from an act as simple as two young lovers running off together, or a dispute between a custodial parent and a non-custodial parent. Often, prosecutors tack an abduction charge on to that for a sex crime, armed robbery, or other offense.

The many legal and factual issues involved in the charge of kidnapping can provide the basis for one or more defense strategies. If you choose Barnes & Garrett to represent you, we will examine these and other factors with the aim of building a strong and effective defense.

It may be possible to convince the prosecutor to drop the charge or to negotiate to a more minor charge with lesser penalties. But the best strategy may be to seek vindication at trial. We will discuss these and other aspects throughout the course of your case.
