Armed Robbery Attorney in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

The Use of a Weapon in a Crime

Robbery without a weapon is a serious offense. Armed robbery is charged when a person carries a weapon during the commission of a robbery. Crimes that involve the use of a weapon are always going to be penalized more harshly because of the potential for bodily injury or death.

Even if a person does not use a weapon during a robbery, simply carrying one on his or her person is enough to result in an armed robbery conviction. Armed robbery is a ‘life felony.’ That means it is punishable by a term of life in prison.

Building a Defense

Most cases can be defended. Eye-witness statements, videos, audio, police reports, physical, scientific, and circumstantial evidence all need to be evaluated. Police procedures must be scrutinized. Our lawyers have often found that no matter how bad your case may appear, you can count on the state attorney’s office or the police officers to make it better. In some cases, poor police work is the key to winning. Procedural errors and lab incompetence are common and can help lead to a lesser charge, a dismissal, or an acquittal.
