ROBBERY

​

Atlanta Robbery Defense Attorney

In Georgia, A person commits the offense of robbery when, with intent to commit theft, he takes the property of another from the person or the immediate presence of another:

​

•  By use of force;

•  By intimidation, by the use of threat or coercion, or by placing such person in fear of immediate serious bodily injury to himself or to another; or

• By sudden snatching

​

If a weapon is used in the robbery, then a person has committed armed robbery. Other forms of robbery also include carjacking. A person convicted of robbery offenses can expect to serve time behind bars.  However, there are a number of defenses to a robbery charge. If you or a loved one have been accused of robbery and would like an attorney who will zealously fight make sure your rights are not violated, contact Attorney Gil today.
