Robbery

Virginia Beach Armed Robbery Defense Lawyer

Robbery is a crime involving theft by force, intimidation, or threat of force. As such it is far different in nature than larceny or shoplifting. The use of a gun or other weapon during the act constitutes armed robbery, and can add three to five years on to the sentence received.

Prosecutors in Virginia aggressively pursue robbery charges, especially armed robbery charges. Representation by a strong and effective criminal defense lawyer is essential. Barnes & Garrett is a successful and dynamic criminal defense firm that believes in aggressively defending our clients' rights and freedom.

Defending Your Rights and Your Freedom

Attorney James Garrett believes that every person accused of a crime deserves a strong and effective defense effort. We will look at every element of the charge to develop the right defense strategy based on the facts of your case. We will question witnesses, examine the crime scene, view any surveillance tapes, and look at any other relevant evidence. If needed, we will hire experienced private investigators who may be able to find evidence that was overlooked by the police. In cases involving armed robbery, a key strategy may be to contest the weapon, if at all possible.

Barnes & Garrett will examine all of these elements to develop a strong and persuasive defense. Our goal will be to obtain the best outcome possible, given the facts of your case, while protecting your rights and preserving your freedom.
