Why Experience Matters
15 years max. Armed Robbery - robbery while armed with dangerous weapon or any article used or fashioned to lead victim to believe it's a weapon. Life or any term of years. Carjacking - taking motor vehicle from another by force or fear. Life or any term of years. Bank Robbery (federal) - federal charges, lengthy sentences. Robbery defenses include: mistaken identity (wasn't you who committed robbery), lack of force (no force or threat used, reduces to larceny), no weapon (armed robbery requires weapon, reduce to unarmed), claim of right (believed property was yours), insufficient evidence, alibi, and false accusations. Armed robbery carries potential life sentences, making defense critical. We challenge whether items were actually weapons or merely items fashioned to appear as weapons. Many robbery cases rely on eyewitness identification, which is notoriously unreliable. We challenge identifications through cross-examination and expert testimony about identification errors. Video evidence sometimes exists in robbery cases. We review surveillance footage critically, challenging whether images actually show our client. Codefendant cases are common in robbery prosecutions. We protect clients when charged with others, especially when codefendants claim reduced involvement and blame our client. Habitual offender enhancements add mandatory minimums to robbery sentences. We fight these enhancements. Plea negotiations in robbery cases may reduce armed robbery to unarmed robbery or reduce robbery to larceny charges, significantly reducing potential sentences. Federal bank robbery charges bring federal prosecutors and federal sentencing guidelines. Our attorneys handle both state and federal robbery cases. The Browning Law Firm provides aggressive robbery defense when decades in prison are at stake.
