Experience matters, especially when you need a robbery defense attorney. Because of the potential for harm caused to others, armed robbery can come with a serious punishment if found guilty in a court of law. Robbery is just one of many types of theft offenses in Massachusetts and, at Erkan & Sullivan, PC, you can expect straight answers and aggressive representation after an arrest.

Attorneys Erkan and Sullivan will guide you through the entire process, explaining the twists and turns your case can take. For example, it does not matter if an item was actually taken; the intention to rob or steal is all that is necessary for a conviction in Massachusetts. Nor is physical contact or harm a requirement for a robbery conviction; putting a person in fear of harm is enough.

Other issues may raise your risk of higher penalties and more years in jail, such as:

• Using threats of violence to gain access to money
• Robbing a person who is age 60 or older
• Assaulting a person with the intention of stealing or robbing
• Putting someone in fear of being robbed or assaulted
• Holding or using a potentially dangerous weapon during a robbery
