Experienced Representation for Federal Kidnapping Charges with Spodek Law Group and Attorney Todd Spodek

If you are facing federal kidnapping charges, it’s important to understand that this is a serious offense that can result in severe penalties. Kidnapping is defined as the unwilling movement or confinement of an individual and may be prosecuted at the state or federal level. If convicted of a federal kidnapping offense and the victim is unharmed, you may face between 10 years to life in prison and up to a $15,000 fine. However, if the victim is harmed, the charges are considerably more severe.

Why You Need an Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney

If you are facing federal kidnapping charges, it’s essential that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. At Spodek Law Group, our team understands the nuances of federal kidnapping laws and the possible defense strategies that may be used in your unique case. We have the expertise to provide you with the best possible representation and fight for your rights.

The Differences Between State and Federal Kidnapping Offenses

The primary difference between state-level and federal-level kidnapping charges is the victim’s movement across state lines. Federal kidnapping occurs when the victim is unwillingly moved across state lines, which falls under 18 U.S.C. Section 1201. International and parental kidnapping charges have their own legal codes, and the accused may be tried in their home country upon extradition under the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

International Child Abduction Laws

The laws become increasingly complex when the kidnapped individual crosses international lines because the kidnapping laws in the other country will apply. However, the Hague Convention applies to more than 80 countries, and it covers the return of the victim to their home country.

Parental Child Abduction Laws

Parental abduction occurs when the non-custodial parent takes their child without the knowledge and permission of the custodial parent. State-level law enforcement officials may work the case provided there is no evidence that the child has been moved outside of state lines. However, the case becomes a federal matter when the child is taken beyond state or international lines.

Criminal Defense Strategies for Kidnapping

At Spodek Law Group, we understand that every case is unique, and the possible defense strategies used may depend on the victim’s age and where the crime took place. Our experienced attorneys may use a variety of strategies, including arguing that the victim consented to the movement or willingly agreed to accompany the accused party, that the defendant did not intend to use deadly force, or that the defendant was ignorant of laws or made a mistake.

Why You Need to Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney as Soon as Possible

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to give them ample time to prepare an effective defense. Your attorney should be present when you are questioned by authorities and make statements, including immediately after your arrest. At Spodek Law Group, our experienced attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to fight for your rights, reduce charges, and argue for a lighter sentence if you are convicted.
