Kidnapping

If you have been accused of kidnapping, you are probably facing some very serious charges in New Hampshire. This is a crime that, if convicted, you could be looking at a long prison sentence.

Anyone can be charged with kidnapping if they confine another person against their will. There could be any number of ways in which kidnapping can happen.

If you have held someone against their will as a hostage or for any kind of ransom, you will be accused of kidnapping. You can read about the charges in the state statutes at RSA 633:1.

In New Hampshire this is considered a Class A felony. And the penalties can be harsh. That is unless the alleged kidnapper agrees to voluntarily release the victim without causing any harm. At that point it would become a Class B felony.

Law enforcement officers and prosecutors take a hard line on accused kidnappers.

For that reason, your first move after getting arrested on kidnapping charges should be to call Michael Anzalone at The Anzalone Law Firm in Nashua, New Hampshire.

He will not want you to speak to law enforcement officer or investigators because they will hold anything you say against you. He will have your best interests at heart and will work hard to get you the best possible outcome in your case.

You may be facing additional charges in a kidnapping case. For example, if you kidnapped a child and injured them in any way. Or if you are a non-custodial parent who kidnapped your child, taking them away from the custodial parent.

In these cases, you may be facing a lengthy prison sentence. And harsh fines. In addition, when you are released from prison you could be on probation for a long time and you may have to register as a child sex offender.
