Robbery Defense Attorney in Duluth

Question: My friend snatched a ladys purse and jumped in to my car screaming GO GO GO. So I went but then when i seen he really had the bag , I stopped the car and made him give it back to the lady . Could i be charged with anything since I'm technically the person who stopped the crime?

Answer: Yes, the DA could charge you as a party to the crime of robbery by sudden snatch. What will determine IF the DA charges you will probably the circumstances under which you stopped the vehicle and gave the woman back her purse. If the police stopped you, and you screamed at your friend to give her the purse after the police stopped you, then you will probably be charged with robbery by sudden snatch, and you may need an attorney.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
