Columbus Robbery Attorney
Need a lawyer for a theft charge in Ohio?
Ohio Code Section 2911.02 defines robbery as an attempt or commission of theft with the possession of a deadly weapon, use or threat of violence or force, or infliction or attempt to inflict injury. A defendant may face robbery charges under this section if the injury or threat occurred while fleeing the scene after a theft offense or attempt at theft.
Have you been accused of robbery or any related criminal offense? A Columbus criminal defense attorney at The Meranda Law Firm LTD can meet with you to discuss your legal options in this important matter. These cases can present a number of difficulties, but with the right approach and a lawyer on your side who has the resources to properly investigate the matter and the tenacity to aggressively defense your rights, you have the opportunity of reaching a positive result. Taking immediate action and talking to an attorney is important, as the penalties for a robbery conviction are severe.
Robbery while in possession of a deadly weapon or with the attempt, threat or infliction of injury is classified as a felony of the second degree, punishable by 2 to 8 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. Robbery with the use or threat of force is classified as a felony of the third degree, punishable by 1 to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Should I be worried if I am innocent?The short answer to this question is yes. Our legal system, though endowed with powerful rights and time-tested procedures, is far from perfect. Proclaiming yourself innocent is far from a legal defense, and you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to gather information and refute evidence. It is a sad fact that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they did not commit. If you have been arrested, a team member from The Meranda Law Firm LTD, serving both Columbus and Newark, can go to immediate work on constructing a strong defense and on seeking to have unfounded charges dropped.
-
What important legal rights am I entitled to?If you find yourself crossways with the law, you have important rights that must be protected. First, you have the right to be informed of your rights by police should you be arrested. You have the right to remain silent, which can help you avoid self-incrimination. You also have the right to avoid subjection to an unreasonable search and seizure. Perhaps most importantly is your right to an attorney, and should you face criminal investigation or arrest, you should be in immediate contact with a Columbus criminal defense attorney for knowledgeable and skilled legal counsel.

Why should I hire a criminal defense attorney?When you are facing a criminal charge, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, your future stands at serious risk. Not only do you face the prospect of jail time, fines, and probation, but if you are convicted you will also carry with you a permanent criminal record that can make such things as obtaining employment, educational opportunities and housing problematic. A lawyer can make sure that your legal rights are well-protected and that a strong defense is mounted on your behalf. Going it alone in the criminal justice system can put you in peril of many unwanted consequences.
