Massachusetts Armed Robbery Attorney

Armed Robbery is a very serious offense, that if you are convicted, carries with it a minimum of guaranteed jail time to a maximum of life in prison. How the law defines "armed" may surprise you.

When police question witnesses, they do so in a structured fashion that almost becomes suggestive. The fact is, they take dozens of witness statements and in the end they all begin to sound the same. What's more, in an effort to expedite the process and close the case, they may suggest that the alleged perpetrator had a weapon when in fact he didn't. Often times, the witness is so shaken up from the ordeal that the suggestion of a weapon from either the alleged criminal or the police officer both become reality--in the eyes of the law.

If you or someone you know is facing an armed robbery charge in the state of Massachusetts, do not underestimate the seriousness of what you are facing. Without competent counsel, the state could send you to prison as a result of a witness' version of the facts. This hardly sounds like "due process," but it is the unfortunate reality of the criminal courts.

The state will take advantage where they feel they can. Even the mere verbal suggestion of having a weapon in a robbery can be defined as armed robbery. Don't underestimate what lies ahead.
