Being charged with a robbery can be a life-altering event. Not only can it mean a felony conviction on your record, but it can also mean a long prison sentence. A felony conviction can haunt someone for the rest of their life, making it difficult to find employment, housing, and even basic necessities like loans and credit.
But it’s important to know that there is always hope, and a skilled criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. The McShane Firm has a proven track record of successfully defending clients against robbery charges and reducing or avoiding long state prison sentences.
Robbery is defined as the taking of property from another person by force or fear. It’s considered a serious crime and is punishable by imprisonment. However, the severity of the punishment depends on the circumstances of the crime. For example, if a weapon was used during the robbery, the penalties will be more severe than if no weapon was involved.
One recent example of a successful defense we mounted against a robbery charge was when a client was accused of robbing a store. The prosecution claimed that the client used a weapon during the robbery. However, after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the client did not have a weapon and that the store employee had mistaken a cell phone in his pocket for a weapon. With this new evidence, the charges were reduced to theft and the client received a much lighter sentence.
Another example of a successful defense we had recently was when a client was accused of robbing a gas station. The prosecution claimed that the client used a weapon during the robbery and that there were several eyewitnesses. However, further investigation revealed that the eyewitnesses were totally unreliable, several were very drunk, and that the client did not have a weapon. Plus, he was at home asleep when this all happened. With this new evidence, the charges were dropped and the client was released.
