Defending Against Forcible Confinement Charges

This crime states that it is illegal to force another person to remain in one location through the use of threats, coercion or physical actions.Similar to kidnapping, a conviction for forcible confinement carries serious penalties. You could face up to 10 years in prison. An experienced lawyer, however, can help you build a sophisticated, detailed defence against your charges.Our Toronto forcible confinement lawyers at Neuberger & Partners LLP have experience representing the rights of clients in cases involving forcible confinement.
