What is Robbery?

Robbery, a criminal offense with grave implications, involves the act of taking another person's property through force, intimidation, or threat of force. This crime is distinct from theft as it encompasses an element of violence or threat. In Maryland, the legal definition of robbery is encapsulated in statutes, and the nuances of each case require a meticulous understanding of the law.

At Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake, our attorneys profoundly comprehend the intricacies surrounding robbery charges. We recognize that each case is unique, and we approach every situation with an astute analysis of the facts to construct a strategic defense tailored to your specific circumstances.

What are the Penalties for Robbery in Maryland?

The consequences of a robbery conviction in Maryland can be severe, carrying significant penalties that can alter the course of one's life. The severity of these penalties depends on various factors, such as the degree of force used, whether a weapon was involved, and the value of the property taken.

Robbery charges are generally classified into degrees, with first-degree robbery being the most serious. A conviction for first-degree robbery can result in substantial prison sentences, hefty fines, and a permanent stain on your criminal record.
