Robbing a bank is a federal offense, with potentially severe sentences and rare chance for plea negotiation. Federal prosecutors and law enforcement have many resources on their side and will aggressively prosecute theft from a federal insured institution (including banks, savings and loans, or credit unions).

Stealing from an ATM is also classified as bank robbery. Involvement of a weapon or any kind of threat can enhance the charges and/or sentence. Call Attorney John Hunter Smith to discuss the specifics of your case.
