Understand Your Situation
Robbery involving a knife is treated with extreme severity by the courts. We provide the aggressive, forensic defence required to challenge these allegations.
Defence Against Armed Robbery Allegations
Knife-enabled robbery combines theft with the threat or use of force, aggravated by the presence of a weapon. Prosecutors push for long prison sentences in these cases. We understand that identification evidence is often flawed and that presence at a scene does not equate to guilt.
Our team analyses CCTV, DNA, and mobile phone data to test the prosecution's case. We also challenge the classification of the incident—was a weapon actually produced? Was there intent to rob? We ensure your side of the story is heard clearly, fighting to dismantle the case against you or mitigate the outcome significantly.

Plan Your Defence
Sentencing and Legal Factors
Robbery is an offence under *Section 8 of the Theft Act 1968*. When a knife is involved, it moves to the highest culpability categories in the sentencing guidelines.
This is an indictable-only offence. Key legal issues often involve 'Joint Enterprise'—where you are accused of being involved even if you didn't hold the weapon. We rigorously challenge joint enterprise assertions (following *R v Jogee*) to ensure you are not punished for the actions of others that you did not foresee or intend.
Challenge the Evidence
ID parades, CCTV, and forensics—we scrutinise it all. Contact us for a case review.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
