Aggressive Defense for Robbery Charges

Fighting for Your Rights in High-Stakes Cases

Robbery is a serious felony offense that carries severe penalties, including prison time, fines, and a lasting criminal record. Unlike theft, robbery involves the use or threat of force, making prosecutors more likely to push for harsh sentences. At Blankenship Law, we analyze the evidence, challenge unreliable witness statements, and fight aggressively to reduce or dismiss charges.

How We Defend Robbery Cases

Building a Strong Legal Defense


Robbery cases often rely on eyewitness testimony, surveillance footage, and forensic evidence, all of which can be flawed or misleading. We challenge inconsistencies in witness statements, question the legality of searches, and expose investigative errors to build a strong defense. Learn about defense strategies.

If police violated your rights during the investigation—such as through unlawful searches, coercion, or flawed procedures—we fight to suppress illegally obtained evidence and seek case dismissals. Read more about constitutional violations.


For those facing first-time robbery charges, we explore plea deals, reduced sentencing, or alternative programs when appropriate. Every case is unique, and we craft a custom defense strategy based on your situation. Contact us for a case review.
