Angleton Aggravated Robbery Lawyer


Brazoria County Robbery Defense Attorney

Robbery itself is a serious felony that occurs when you injure someone or threaten to injure or kill someone while in the course of committing theft (Texas Penal Code §29.02). If convicted of robbery, you face 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. 

Aggravated robbery is more serious and the penalties more severe.  If convicted of aggravated robbery, you face 5 to 99 years or life in prison and a fine up to $10,000 (Texas Penal Code §29.03). 

Robbery cases are complex and the penalties are severe. It is important to retain an Angleton criminal lawyer with the experience in defending these cases. Attorney James Sullivan has fought aggravated robbery cases at trial and has also been successful in persuading prosecutors to dismiss robbery cases. Sullivan also has experience in getting several such cases no billed (dismissed) by the grand jury. These no billed cases are eligible for immediate expunction. Of course, each case is different and the results depend on the unique facts and circumstances of each case.

The Angleton  criminal trial lawyers at the Law Office of James G. Sullivan and Associates have over 55 combined years of defending felony and misdemeanor cases at trial. They are dedicated to obtaining the best result for their clients either through litigation or negotiation.
