Robbery Charges Can Impact The Rest of Your Life
We Will Fight Your Robbery Case Now
Robbery is a very serious charge that covers a wide range of allegations. A robbery is larceny (theft) by force or threat of force. This can include anything from a situation where a person pushes a security guard while shoplifting to a purse snatching situation to a bank robbery. You can also be charged with conspiracy even if you are not the one physically taking the property or using the force.
Regardless of the situation, the state’s attorney and judge take these cases extremely seriously because they involve force being used against another person. In many cases involving robbery, it is difficult to avoid jail time. This is especially true when a gun or knife is used or if the victim is injured. You do, however, have options to fight these charges with the help of an experienced lawyer.
If you have been arrested for robbery, you need to take the charges against you seriously. At BBB Attorneys, our legal team will do everything we can to fight for you. We will dissect the case against you, explain the process, and present you with your legal options in order to help minimize the negative consequences.

Crafting a Strong Robbery Defense
Crafting a strong defense for robbery charges requires a strategic and thorough approach. Our attorneys will employ several key strategies to build a robust defense. This will include carefully examining the evidence presented by the prosecution, scrutinizing the reliability and credibility of witness testimony, surveillance footage, or forensic evidence. Any inconsistencies or weaknesses in the case would be identified and challenged. Additionally, our team will explore potential defenses such as mistaken identity, lack of intent, alibi, or self-defense if applicable. We will investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime, including any potential violations of constitutional rights during the arrest or search and seizure process. Collaboration with investigators and experts might be necessary to reconstruct the events and present alternative theories of the case. Skillful negotiation or presenting the strongest case at trial would be pursued depending on the specific circumstances. Ultimately, the goal would be to undermine the prosecution's case and strive for the best possible outcome, whether that entails a reduced charge, acquittal, or minimized penalties. Consulting with an experienced criminal defense attorney at BBB Attorneys
is crucial to develop a tailored defense strategy based on the unique circumstances of the robbery charges.
