Aggressive Tennessee Kidnapping Lawyer

Kidnapping, also known as “false imprisonment,” involves the illegal act of taking a person from place to place without their permission and holding them against their will. If kidnapping involves moving a person across state lines or coincides with another serious criminal offense like robbery, the kidnapping is then considered to be a federal crime. Anyone convicted of kidnapping in Tennessee or Kentucky can face a lifetime sentence in a state or federal prison, in additional to other very serious penalties.

There are several types of kidnapping crimes that take place in Nashville & Clarksville. The most common include:

• Simple Kidnapping: This type of kidnapping involves holding a person against his or her will by force.

• Parental Kidnapping: When a child is taken by a non-custodial parent, parental kidnapping may be charged. It is a federal offense if the child is taken out of the country.

• Aggravated Kidnapping: Kidnapping that involves sex crimes, drug crimes, domestic violence, assault/battery, murder or the commitment of another felony. It may also involve the demand for ransom, reward or hostage taking.
