Morristown Robbery Defense Attorney

Robbery Charges in New Jersey (N.J.S. 2C:15-1)

Robbery is the act of taking another's personal property through the use of intimidation or physical force. Individuals who are convicted of this theft crime will experience a difficult future as many employers do not approve of a criminal record. The best decision you can make right now is contacting a skilled Morristown criminal defense lawyer.

Robbery charges are very serious and require the assistance of an aggressive and experienced defense lawyer. Over more than a decade in criminal defense practice, I can help you fight back. The details of your case will be thoroughly reviewed so that the best possible defense strategy can be determined, early in the process.

Possible Penalties and Defenses for Robbery Charges

Punishments for robbery charges will vary based on the circumstances of the case. Typical punishments include jail or prison sentences, fines, counseling, mandatory community service and probation. If a weapon was used in your robbery, then the charge could increase to aggravated robbery.

The following details will weigh heavily on what punishment is possible if you are accused:

  • If any weapon was used
  • If any person was hurt in the robbery
  • The value of stolen items
  • Whether the crime was a home invasion, carjacking or gang related

All of these details could be used by the prosecuting attorney to seek heavier penalties.

  • I met Mr Christopher Porreca somewhere back into 2006 I sat and watched him in a courtroom and I noticed he can speak to both sides so in the hallway of the courthouse I asked Mr Porreca if he would be interested in taking my case I needed the BEST, and Chris has always come on top for me.
