Defending Robbery Charges — How Me and My Team Fight Back
At The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett, we build aggressive defense strategies, including:
✔ Mistaken identity — unreliable eyewitness testimony is a major factor in most robbery cases
✔ False accusations — we investigate motives and credibility problems
✔ No force or threat — if the prosecution cannot prove intimidation, robbery may not apply
✔ Illegal search & seizure — if your rights were violated, we move to suppress evidence
✔ Insufficient evidence — we challenge every weakness in the state's case
My goal is dismissal or reduction of charges whenever possible.
