Few Robbery Cases Go To Trial …
Few people are aware that 95% of all criminal cases are settled through out–of–court plea bargaining. The fact is, many robbery and burglary defendants were caught in the act of stealing money or property. If there is indisputable evidence that you have committed the crime, then a trial will do you much more harm than good.
At Cornwell & Scherff, our attorneys have as much hands–on trial experience as anyone else in the game – and we've gotten great results. But part of being an effective defense attorney means knowing when and how to strike the best plea bargain possible.
Don't underestimate how much an experienced criminal defense attorney can help you … and don't underestimate how much damage an inexperienced one can do. It can mean the difference between years of freedom and years in jail.
