Understanding Bank Robbery Charges in Los Angeles

Bank robbery is a serious offense in California, and Los Angeles is no exception.

Charges may include armed robbery, use of force, or conspiracy, each carrying heavy penalties.

Knowing the intricacies of both state and federal law, our attorneys challenge every aspect of the charges.

State charges may include years of imprisonment, while federal charges can add decades due to the involvement of national banking institutions. An experienced attorney can work to mitigate these penalties by challenging evidence or negotiating plea deals.

Understanding how the law applies to your specific situation is essential.
