Accused of Robbery in Marietta, GA?

criminal defense attorneys for help.

you and ensure your freedom.
How does Georgia define robbery?
Basic robbery charges are more serious than the average theft crime because
they are done in the presence of the proper owner.
The prosecution will attempt to prove you robbed someone else by means of:
- Using force
- Using intimidation, threats, or coercion
- Suddenly grabbing the property in question
A robbery conviction can result in at least one year in prison, and if
the victim was older than 65, you could serve five years or more. If a
weapon was involved in the robbery, the penalty can increase to 10 to 20 years
in prison.
We Protect Clients at All Costs
All facets of a robbery need to be established by the prosecution beyond
a reasonable doubt, which is where our dedicated Marietta
theft crimes lawyer can come to your defense. We can argue in your defense that you
were not the individual responsible for the robbery, or that not all criteria
have been met to qualify for a robbery charge. This could result in being
charged with a lesser theft crime such as
burglary.
Your future is too important to risk—take control of your
criminal case by speaking with our resilient Marietta robbery attorneys who can fight
hard on your behalf both in and out of court.
