Robbery is a very serious charge. This crime is a felony, and the penalties are substantial. There are three degrees of Robbery, and the sentence if convicted will depend on what degree you are convicted of, and the particular circumstances surrounding the crime. It is important to secure the guidance of a qualified Brooklyn Robbery Lawyer from our team for advice in this matter.

The definition of Robbery is the act of taking property from another, by intimidation or by the threat or use of violence. There are three different degrees of this crime, which are:

NY Penal Law 160.15-Robbery in the 3d is defined as the taking the property of another by force, and is a D felony offense.

NY Penal Law 160.10(1)-Robbery in the 2d is the stealing of property from another either by force, with the help of an accomplice, injuring the victim in the process, or using a deadly weapon. The crime is a C felony offense.

NY Penal Law 160.05-Robbery in the 3d is the taking property of another, and the victim is hurt during the commission of the crime. A deadly weapon is used, or use of the weapon was threatened. If the Gun was not loaded, or if the weapon could not discharge, this fact may be used as an affirmative defense. Use of this defense could bring a Robbery 1 charge down to Robbery in the 2d, or a Robbery in the 2d charge down to a Robbery 1 charge. This crime is classified as a B felony, and is punishable by twenty-five years in prison.

My wife and I met under some unconventional circumstances. After I had some legal problems, Mr Bilkis and his firm continually got me out of trouble. I then had his firm represented my wife and he got her out of trouble! We are still married and got our ways straightened away. We both can't thank him enough for saving our lives and our families!

I contacted Stephen Bilkis' office for an issue regarding a family member and I could not be happier with the results. I have recommended the firm to friends and family, all of whom were also ecstatic with Mr. Bilkis and all members of his staff. P.R.

I was in need of legal assistance for a very sensitive matter for a family member. I contacted the law offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC and was met with staff whose demeanor was supportive, compassionate and professional. The lawyer handling our case had many years of experience and treated us as if we were his own family. Our experience was so good, and we became so close to all of the staff and all of the attorneys who assisted us, that we consider them our extended family and continue to send them our home baked gifts for the holidays. P.A.K.

I hired Stephen Bilkis and Associates to represent me on a legal matter a few months ago and am grateful for their swift action and resolution on my behalf. I was impressed with their professionalism and would recommend them to friends and family in a heartbeat. M.B.
