Robbery

Woodbury | Central Islip | Mineola | Hempstead

In New York, the crime of robbery is defined as stealing property by force. This can involve the actual use of physical force, or can simply involve the threat of an immediate use of physical force. Robbery is always considered a felony, so the punishment if convicted can be severe. You want an experienced and aggressive lawyer to protect your constitutional rights. We can help.

At the Law Offices of David W. Haber, in Woodbury, New York, we offer more than a dozen years of criminal law experience to individuals throughout Long Island and the surrounding communities. Before setting up our private practice, attorney Haber served as an assistant district attorney for the state of New York, handling felony prosecutions in Nassau County. We have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the law and the elements that the state must prove to get a conviction. We also know the strategies and tactics prosecutors use when preparing and presenting a criminal case. We will help you take proactive steps to protect your rights.

The criminal justice system can be frightening and overwhelming. We will take the time to carefully explain the law and the legal process, as well as your rights and options, so that you know what to expect and can make informed decisions that protect your reputation, your freedom and your future. When you hire us to represent you, all matters in your case will be directly handled by attorney Haber, never by an associate or paralegal.

Our Robbery Defense Practice

We offer extensive experience handling all types of felony theft crimes, including robbery, burglary and grand larceny. We aggressively defend people against any and all types of robbery charges, including:

• Robbery in the first degree, a Class B violent felony
• Robbery in the second degree, a Class C violent felony
• Robbery in the third degree, a Class D felony

The type of felony charge you face, as well as the potential penalties, depends on a variety of factors, such as:

• Whether anyone actually suffered injury during the commission of the crime
• Whether a weapon was used and, if so, what type of weapon
• Whether you had any prior convictions
• Whether you entered a dwelling or residential home

We will carefully review the actions of law enforcement officers during the investigation and arrest, confirming that there was probable cause for any search or seizure, and that you were properly advised of your constitutional rights if interrogated while in custody.
