Former Prosecutor
Accused of Robbery in Virginia?
Don't face the
uncertainty alone.
Being accused of robbery can have serious consequences. Unlike ordinary theft allegations, robbery involves allegations that property was taken from another person through force, violence, or the threat of force. Depending on the circumstances, a robbery accusation can expose you to substantial criminal penalties and long-term consequences. If you have been accused of robbery, an experienced robbery defense lawyer can help you understand the allegations against you, evaluate the evidence, and determine the best approach to your defense. The circumstances of the alleged offense, the evidence identifying the accused, and the specific conduct alleged can all be important when evaluating a robbery case. At McCormack & McCormack, our attorneys take a hands-on approach to every robbery defense case. We listen to your side of the story, carefully review the evidence, investigate the circumstances surrounding the allegations, and identify potential weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. We then develop a defense strategy based on the specific facts of your situation. Whether you are facing a robbery charge in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, Suffolk, or elsewhere in Hampton Roads, our attorneys are prepared to provide experienced criminal defense.
