Atlanta Armed Robbery Defense Attorney

Armed Robbery Charges

Armed robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take something of value by force or threat, with the use of a weapon. Due to the potential for harm caused to others, armed robbery is punished quite severely if found guilty in a court of law. When an individual uses a weapon in conjunction with a robbery - whether or not it is used - law enforcement officials, prosecutors and judges may immediately assume that the individual intended to use that weapon. It is understood by law enforcement that the weapon would have been used should there have been a situation which called for its use.
