Rockwall Robbery Lawyer

Arrested for Robbery in Rockwall? Contact J. Cameron Cowan for Defense.

Any taking of another person’s property by force can be grounds for a robbery charge. Robbery is an especially serious theft crime because it is implied that the crime is committed in the presence of the owner by means of force or violence.

When you choose to work with The Law Offices of J. Cameron Cowan, I offer the benefit of my nearly 15 years of past criminal law experience as a chief felony prosecutor and as a district attorney handling many types of cases, from violent crime defense to DWI defense and more. Through handling more than 200 jury cases, I learned how prosecutors strategize and how to outmaneuver them. Trust my firm to always look out for your best interests no matter how complex your charges.

Elements of a Robbery Charge

A robbery charge needs to have several elements present which can be substantiated by the prosecution or such a charge will not hold up.

The elements to a robbery charge are:

• Taking of property from the rightful owner
• Acting without the owner’s permission
• Intent to steal property
• Use of force or intimidation against the owner

The force or intimidation used needs to be shown to have been directly tied to the taking of property, not before or after it has been taken. Threats of future violence are not proper grounds for a robbery charge.
