What is Armed Robbery?
Armed robbery is a serious criminal offense in Colorado and the United States. It involves using force, intimidation, or the threat of violence to take someone's property while possessing a deadly weapon. In Colorado, this crime is treated with utmost seriousness, and the penalties for a conviction can be severe.
Armed robbery typically includes the following elements:
- Taking of Property: The accused must take or attempt to take someone else's property, including money or valuable items, without their consent.
- Use of Force or Threats: Armed robbery involves the use of force or intimidation, often including the use or threat of a deadly weapon.
- Presence of a Deadly Weapon: To be considered armed robbery, the accused must possess a deadly weapon during the commission of the crime.
It's important to note that the term "deadly weapon" is broadly defined in Colorado law and can include firearms, knives, or any object capable of causing serious harm.
What are the Penalties for Armed Robbery in Colorado?
Colorado law classifies armed robbery as a Class 3 felony, carrying severe penalties for those convicted. The specific consequences of an armed robbery conviction can differ based on various factors, including the presence of aggravating circumstances, such as injuries or the use of a firearm.
Common penalties for armed robbery may include:
- Prison Time: Conviction for armed robbery can result in a lengthy prison sentence. A Class 3 felony can lead to a sentence of 4 to 16 years, with the potential for an extended prison term in the presence of aggravating factors.
- Fines: Those found guilty of armed robbery may face substantial fines, which can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
- Restitution: Offenders may be required to provide restitution to the victims to cover any losses or damages resulting from the robbery.
- Probation: In some cases, the court may impose probation, involving strict conditions and supervision in place of or in addition to a prison sentence.
- Impact on Future Opportunities: A criminal record for armed robbery can have a long-lasting impact on your future, affecting employment, housing, and other aspects of your life.
Defenses Against Armed Robbery Charges
Some potential defenses against armed robbery charges may include:
- Lack of Intent: If the accused did not have the intent to commit armed robbery, this can be a valid defense. We can demonstrate that the alleged actions were not premeditated or intended as a criminal act.
- Mistaken Identity: We can investigate and present evidence to show that the prosecution has wrongly identified the accused as the perpetrator of the armed robbery.
- Inadequate Evidence: We can challenge the evidence against you, arguing that it is insufficient to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Coercion or Duress: If the accused committed the robbery under threats or coercion, this can be a valid defense. We can work to show that the actions were not voluntary.
- Illegal Search and Seizure: If evidence was received illegally or without a proper search warrant, it may be excluded from the case.

“Charlie really helped me through a difficult situation. From the very beginning, he was upfront, honest and realistic about my case. Even though he is extremely busy, he was always quick to respond and took the time to provide thorough answers to all of my questions. What I appreciated most was his straightforward approach. He made it clear that if he believed he could win at trial, he would tell me, but that there was always a chance I could lose and that the final decision would always be mine. I ultimately chose to take my case to trial, which was incredibly nerve-wracking. Before trial, we had a motions hearing. Charlie had prepared a motion that was so well-written and supported by the evidence that the prosecutor decided to dismiss the case before Charlie even had to argue it. Seeing the case dismissed based on the strength of his work was a huge relief and a testament to his preparation, knowledge and attention to detail. What also stood out to me is that Charlie genuinely cares about helping people, and it shows. His years of experience are evident in everything he does, from his detailed communication throughout the process to his calm and confident demeanor in court. His emails thoroughly explained every step of the case, what to expect next and the possible outcomes. Whenever I had questions, he was almost always available for a call and took the time to make sure I understood what was happening. Because of Charlie's work, I avoided a DUI conviction, probation, fines, court costs and many of the long-term consequences that would have followed. The court also sealed the case after it was dismissed, allowing me to move forward with my life. I am incredibly grateful to Charlie and his partner Danny for their guidance and support throughout the process. If you're looking for attorneys who are honest, responsive, knowledgeable and truly dedicated to their clients, I highly recommend them.”- Johnny M.

I can’t recommend Danny Luneau highly enough.
From day one, Danny was exactly what I needed: direct, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. He never told me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I needed to hear. He was upfront about my chances, explained the strengths and weaknesses of my case, and laid out a strategy based on experience instead of false promises.
What stood out the most was that he was always one step ahead. Every time I had a question or concern, he had already thought about it and had a plan. He knew what arguments the prosecution was likely to make, what evidence actually mattered, what was worth fighting, and what wasn’t. Looking back, it felt like he was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers.
I was also incredibly impressed with his understanding of marijuana DUI law and the science behind THC impairment. He understood the limitations of blood THC levels, the problems with retrograde extrapolation, and why daily users shouldn’t automatically be viewed the same way as occasional users based solely on a number. He was prepared to bring in expert testimony if necessary and challenge the prosecution with science rather than assumptions. It was obvious he has spent years building expertise in this area.
Throughout the entire process, Danny was responsive, professional, and confident. Even when I was stressed out and asking a hundred questions, he always took the time to explain his thinking and why he was approaching the case the way he was.
In the end, my case was completely dismissed and sealed. I genuinely believe that outcome was the result of Danny’s experience, preparation, and strategic approach.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who will be honest with you, fight intelligently, and know exactly how to navigate the system, Danny Luneau is worth every penny. I couldn’t be more grateful for everything he and his team did for me and my family.

By getting these things started early I will be able to get off probation early. He was also able to KEEP ME OUT OF JAIL which was one if the biggest priority's as my BAC was very very high.
