Aggressive Defense Against Federal Bank Robbery Charges
Defense attorneys face an uphill battle when defending clients charged with bank robbery or any other federal crime. That is because not only does the prosecution have all the resources of the FBI at its disposal, it typically also has a significant amount of convincing evidence such as:
- Numerous eye witnesses, including security officer witnesses
- Security camera footage
- Confiscated marked bills
- Funds with locator devices or dye pack evidence
- Fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence
- Other types of evidence
Even when the evidence is stacked against you, it is important to work with an experienced lawyer who can explore all possible defense strategies and who knows how to attack the evidence brought by the prosecution. Our St. Louis defense attorneys have the experience and determination to overcome the challenges in bank robbery cases and other violent crime cases.
If convicted for robbing a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or any other federally insured lending institution, you could face harsh penalties dictated by the federal sentencing guidelines — including enhanced penalties if a weapon was used in any form during the robbery. With such high stakes, selecting the right attorney could never be more important.
