Robbery Attorney in Birmingham

The Alabama Criminal Defense Process for Robbery Charges

Navigating the criminal justice system in Alabama for a robbery charge can be confusing and overwhelming. Our firm provides a clear, step-by-step guide and will be with you at every stage, ensuring you understand your rights and your options. We are an assertive robbery lawyer in Birmingham who will be your unwavering advocate from your first court appearance to the final resolution of your case.

1. Investigation and Arrest: The process begins with an investigation and arrest; it is crucial to remain silent and request a lawyer immediately.
2. Initial Appearance and Bond Hearing: After arrest, you are brought before a judge who will inform you of the charges and set your bond. We will advocate for a reasonable bond or release on your own recognizance.
3. Preliminary Hearing: For felony cases, a preliminary hearing is held to determine if there is enough probable cause to send your case to a grand jury. We use this as a critical opportunity to challenge the state's evidence early in the process.
4. Grand Jury Indictment: All felony cases in Alabama must be brought by a grand jury indictment. We understand this process and the strategies to challenge it.
5. Discovery and Pre-Trial Motions: We obtain and review all the evidence the prosecution intends to use against you, including police reports, forensic evidence, and other relevant documentation. We will file pre-trial motions to challenge illegally obtained evidence or procedural errors.
6. Plea Negotiations or Trial: We engage in negotiations with the prosecutor to reach a favorable plea agreement, such as a reduction to a lesser offense. However, we are always prepared to take your case to trial.
7. Sentencing: If you are convicted, we will present mitigating evidence and arguments during sentencing to seek the most lenient sentence possible.

An accusation of robbery in Alabama is one of the most serious and damaging charges a person can face. These allegations carry with them a powerful social stigma that can devastate your reputation, destroy personal relationships, and ruin your career long before a verdict is ever reached. The legal system in Birmingham, and throughout Jefferson County, takes these cases with the utmost seriousness. Prosecutors will use every resource at their disposal to secure a conviction, often relying on emotionally charged testimony and complex forensic evidence. 

If you have been accused of robbery, you are facing a difficult and confusing legal battle. You need immediate and aggressive legal representation. Our firm, Revill Law Firm, is dedicated to providing a robust defense for those accused of these serious crimes. We understand the specific nuances of Alabama law and the local courts, and we are prepared to stand by your side. A skilled robbery lawyer in Birmingham is an essential part of protecting your future, your freedom, and your rights.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Robbery Defense

At Revill Law Firm, we believe that every person deserves a vigorous defense. Our approach is methodical, strategic, and focused on identifying every possible weakness in the prosecution's case. Every case is unique, and we develop a defense strategy tailored to your specific circumstances. 

As a seasoned Birmingham robbery attorney, we will leverage every possible defense, including:

• Lack of Force or Threats: We can argue that the prosecution has not proven that you used physical force or a threat of force to commit the theft. In some cases, a theft that does not involve force may be charged as grand larceny instead of robbery.
• Mistaken Identification: We can argue that you have been misidentified as the person who committed the crime. This defense is particularly strong when the identification is based on a flawed witness lineup or a single, fleeting observation.
• Alibi: We can argue that you were not at the scene of the crime when it was committed.
• Insufficient Evidence: The prosecution must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. We will argue that the evidence presented is not sufficient to meet this high standard, either because the witness testimony is inconsistent or the forensic evidence is flawed.
• Constitutional Violations: We will challenge any violation of your rights, such as an unlawful search and seizure or a coerced confession.
