Understanding Robbery Charges in Massachusetts

Under Massachusetts General Laws, robbery involves the taking of property from another person through force, violence, or intimidation. Unlike larceny or theft, robbery requires a direct confrontation with the victim, which is why penalties are significantly harsher.

Types of Robbery Charges I Defend

1. Armed Robbery — M.G.L. c. 265, § 17

Using or threatening a weapon during a robbery.
Penalty: Up to life in prison; mandatory minimum 5 years.

2. Unarmed Robbery — M.G.L. c. 265, § 19

Robbery committed through force or intimidation without a weapon.
Penalty: Up to life in prison.

3. Home Invasion / Robbery in a Dwelling — M.G.L. c. 265, § 18

Entering a home with intent to commit robbery.
Penalty: Mandatory minimum of 10 years in state prison.

4. Carjacking — M.G.L. c. 265, § 21

Taking a motor vehicle from someone using force or intimidation.
Penalty: Up to 15 years in prison, 20 years if armed.

Penalties for Robbery in Brookline

Common Defenses I Use in Brookline Robbery Cases

Me and my team examine every detail of your case to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence. Common legal defenses include:

Mistaken Identity

Robbery cases often rely heavily on eyewitness identification, which is notoriously unreliable.

Lack of Force or Intimidation

If prosecutors cannot prove force or threats, the charge may be reduced or dismissed.

False Accusations

Conflicts, misunderstandings, or misidentifications can lead to wrongful accusations.

Insufficient or Weak Evidence

We challenge the credibility of witnesses, police reports, and forensic evidence.

Violation of Constitutional Rights

Illegal search or seizure
Miranda rights violations
Coerced statements
If police violated your rights, key evidence may be suppressed.
