Speak With An Attorney Immediately

Everyone has the right to remain silent. Most people think if they ask for a lawyer the police will think he or she is hiding something and they make statements. Police trick people in confessing their crimes and locking them into statements which come back to hurt the case. Protect your rights of not making any statements until consulting with an attorney. If you have been charged with a crime or police are requesting to speak with you, contact our Denver criminal defense attorneys. The earlier in the case an attorney is present the better chances there are for a successful resolution.

Robbery

Robbery is a theft crime that involves the use or threat of force. Under Colorado law, a person commits robbery when a he or she knowingly takes anything of value by the use of force, threats or intimidation. Robbery is a class four felony. The courts look at the value of the item taken, the means in which it was taken, what injuries the victim sustained and if a weapon was used. For example, if a person was to walk into a store and steal a candy bar it is theft, not robbery. If the person were to grab the candy bar from the cashier and threaten to hurt them if they did not hand over the candy bar, it would constitute robbery.
