California – Bank Robbery Lawyer

Arrested for Bank Robbery?

Bank robbery is a serious federal crime which will be severely prosecuted for taking property or money from a federally insured bank, credit union or savings and loan association.A bank robbery conviction can result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years and/or fines. Enhanced penalties can be enforced using a weapon during the robbery.

Title 18, Section 2113(a) of U.S. Code, describes Federal bank robbery as the following: "Whoever, by force and violence, or by intimidation, takes, or attempts to take, from the person or presence of another, or obtains or attempts to obtain by extortion any property or money or any other thing of value belonging to, or in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of, any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."
Modern technology makes bank robbery evidence stronger such as:

• Banks have high-technology security systems
• Exploding dye packs in the money
• Locator devices
• Marked bills
• Security cameras
• Silent alarms

Because bank robbery is a federal crime, you may face investigation and prosecution by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which will have greater resources to obtain a conviction. An experienced bank robbery defense lawyer can discuss your case with you to determine how to best approach your defense and effectively protect your rights and help you avoid a conviction and potential jail time.

Have you been charged with Bank Robbery?

When people are charged with a crime they face the prospect of incarceration. Ultimately that can bring with it probation and parole, large fines, forced registration with law enforcement, and perhaps most damaging, a record that severely hinders even the most rehabilitated - sometimes for the rest of their lives.

What's worse is that the damage can extend even to the accused's family in many ways. Finally, where a crime has been perpetrated the accused must acknowledge the damage that may have been done to any innocent victim. While we don't claim the ability to undo harms already done, we are here to provide finest and most ethical legal defense you'll find anywhere.

• Be in contact with the DA or US Attorney in an attempt to ensure that the case, where possible, is terminated as quickly as possible.
• Hire and manage investigators, who are often able to impeach witnesses for the government who exaggerate or change their stories at trial.
