Have You Been Charged With Robbery?

Representation from a Skilled Chicago Criminal Defense Lawyer

Have you been accused of robbery? If so, then I invite you to contact my firm, Hallock Law, today. Unlike other theft offenses, robbery implies that there was an element of violence involved with the incident and prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions in these cases. I have dedicated my firm to the unflagging advocacy of those who have been accused of breaking the law. Time and time again, I have ensured that my clients are perceived in the proper light—both in and out of court—and have placed reductions and dismissals within reach on their behalf.

Helpful Tips From Me To You

How To Properly Exercise Your Constitutional Rights
  • What You Should Do
    • Be respectful.
    • Calmly record the interaction.
    • Ask if you are free to leave. If you do not ask, the officer may think - and the judge may agree - that the interaction is consensual.
    • If you are free to leave, go! If you are not free to leave, do not answer any questions before speaking with your attorney.
  • What You Should Not Do
    • Do not physically resist arrest.
    • Do not become aggressive or confrontational.
    • Do not consent to a search. The Constitution does not apply if you consent.
    • Do not answer questions without first speaking with your attorney. Police are allowed to hold you for 48 hours and they may lie to you the entire time.
