Los Angeles Robbery Defense Attorneys

Southern California Violent Crimes Criminal Defense Lawyers

Robbery is a forceful and often violent crime that can result in murder. It is most common in urban areas and occurs when a person, the robber, uses threats, intimidation or violence to seize property from another person.  Since force is used when committing robbery, it differs from other theft crimes such as larceny or embezzlement.  If you have been accused of robbery, it is important that you seek the counsel of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can protect your rights.
