Robbery Lawyer in Chicago

Robbery is considered a theft crime.  It is defined as using force or threat of violence to take someone's property.  Because it is considered a crime of violence, law enforcement investigators are anxious to find evidence of guilt and prosecutors are eager to obtain a conviction.  Armed robbery involves the use of a weapon which could result in a weapons charge being filed.  Officers in their eagerness sometimes make mistakes or take shortcuts during an investigation or arrest.  Eye witness identification has proven to be unreliable in the past.  Depending upon the circumstances in your case, there may be many weaknesses in the prosecution's case which could be taken advantage of by an experienced robbery lawyer.
