Robbery Crimes
The term robbery brings to mind being held up at gunpoint, being beaten for your property, muggings, pickpocketing, snatched purses and other types of violent crimes. Yet the legal definition of robbery is broader than you may think. It extends to virtually any theft from a person that involves the use of force, threats or fear.
I'm Marc Hart. My law firm is devoted exclusively to defending people who have been accused of or charged with committing a crime. As a former prosecuting attorney, I now bring over 36 years of criminal courtroom experience to the defense of every one of my clients in courts throughout Michigan.
Rather than just going for the quick and easy plea, I vigorously fight the allegations, go for the win at trial, or find the leverage necessary to minimize the penalties and consequences in every client’s case. |
In fact, you could get charged with robbery for what seemed like only a minor shoplifting incident. A momentary or minor tussle with a security guard — or possessing a knife, gun or other weapon, even if it was not shown or used — could quickly escalate charges from being a simple misdemeanor into a serious felony carrying a potential prison sentence.
The Potential Maximum Penalties
Armed Robbery ... Even If You Weren't Armed?
Whenever a victim reasonably believes someone possessed a gun or other weapon during a robbery or theft, even if there actually was no weapon, the accused could face mandatory prison time, a lengthy prison sentence and additional felony charges. In fact, you could face armed robbery charges and life in prison even if you didn't actually possess any kind of weapon during a theft from a person. Serious charges demand a serious defense.
The Cost Of Not Taking These Charges Seriously — Potentially, Life Behind Bars
