Violent Crimes Robbery Lawyer James E. Silverstein

James E. Silverstein is a heavy-hitting, top-notch criminal defense lawyer, and has handled countless robbery cases. Attorney James E. Silverstein has the tools necessary to achieve excellent results for you. 


A robbery charge is one of the most serious charges one could face in California. Robbery is the theft of property from a victim’s person or possession by force, violence, or intimidation. Robbery is classified as either aggravated robbery, armed robbery, or simple robbery. Robbery is further sub-classified as either first degree robbery or second degree robbery.


First degree robbery is any robbery occurring in an inhabited dwelling, vessel, trailer and/or involving the driver of a motor vehicle. First degree robbery also encompasses ATM robberies and carjacking. Under most circumstances, a robbery is classified as a “strike” for purposes of the California “Three-Strikes” law. Second degree robbery addresses all other types of robbery.


A robbery charge is almost invariably filed as a felony, and the robbery subjects the defendant to stiff penalties, which include, but are not limited to, a state-prison sentence up to 10 years, large fines, victim restitution, parole, and a lifetime ban of the person’s right to own, use, or possess a firearm. A person convicted of felonious robbery will lose his right to vote, will probably lose his job, and he may find it difficult to obtain gainful employment in the future.


If you, or someone you love, is under investigation for, or presently charged with robbery, it would be in your best interest to retain the services of an experienced, aggressive, knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer like James E. Silverstein. Your rights, your future, and your freedom may very well depend on it.
