Robbery Defense
Maryland is one of the toughest states for robbery, punishing those convicted with some of our country’s most severe penalties. Whether unarmed or armed robbery, it is a criminal offense carrying felony charges, the most serious type of offense. With just the threat of a weapon, a defendant can face up to 20 years behind bars. If you, a friend or family member are facing a robbery charge, you need a criminal defense law firm that provides expert legal help to take you through the arrest process and achieve a satisfactory outcome.
Understanding a Felony Robbery Charge
A felony robbery charge is a serious criminal offense that involves the unlawful taking of someone else’s property through the use of force, intimidation, or threats. Unlike simple theft, robbery involves direct interaction with the victim and typically includes an element of violence or the threat of violence.
Types of Robbery Charges:
- First Degree Robbery
- Second Degree Robbery
- Assault with Intent to Rob
- Carjacking
- Aggravated Robbery
- Armed Robbery
- Felonious Taking
Our Maryland Lawyer Services
A Blackford & Flohr robbery defense lawyer will analyze your case and instruct on the proper defense. To win your case, our defense lawyers only have to cast a reasonable doubt. Alibi evidence, and witnesses who can corroborate this evidence, are often used as a key to determining that the prosecutor’s evidence doesn’t 100 percent prove the crime.
In cases with mounting evidence against a defendant, we research plea deals and often work with the courts to agree upon a misdemeanor charge. This is important because beyond prison, a felony conviction will have a lasting effect on your life. It will be part of your permanent record, making it difficult to find future employment. It will also strip you of constitutional rights, like the right to own firearms and the right to vote.
