Armed robbery in Milwaukee is a Class C felony punishable by up to 40 years in prison, fines up to $100,000, or both. Armed robbery involves forcibly taking and carrying away another person’s property with the intent to steal while using or threatening the use of a dangerous weapon. A “dangerous weapon” can include firearms, knives, bats, clubs, or any object capable of causing death or great bodily harm.
An armed robbery conviction will remain on your record for life and will appear on background checks, CCAP, and public records permanently. Convictions also result in the permanent loss of your right to possess a firearm and vote until civil rights are restored.
Grieve Law’s criminal defense lawyers focus on challenging the State’s ability to prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt. This can include disputing whether force was used, whether a weapon was present, or threatened and whether there was intent to steal. A thorough review of police procedures, witness statements, and evidence collection may help reduce or dismiss armed robbery charges.
