Do Prosecutors Actually Have a Robbery Case Against You?
Robbery is a crime involving the use or threat of serious force or injury. As our founder previously acknowledged, it is a felony-level crime, which means that it is among the most serious of charges. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has the authority to send you to prison and impose thousands of dollars in fines if convicted.
Under 18 Pa.C.S. § 3701, your Philadelphia robbery defense lawyer at Shuttleworth Law P.C. will review your situation to determine if it meets the statutory definition of robbery that prosecutors are claiming it is, including:
- Situation 1. Threatening someone else with or intentionally putting them in fear of immediate serious bodily injury, or
- Situation 2. Committing or threatening to commit a first- or second-degree felony, or
- Situation 3. Inflicting serious bodily injury upon or threatening another with or intentionally putting them in fear of immediate bodily injury, or
- Situation 4. Taking or removing property from someone else by force
- Situation 5. Taking or removing money from a financial institution without permission by making a verbal or written demand on an employee
As you can see, each above-referenced situation requires prosecutors to prove that specific acts occurred. For example, take Situation 2: Do prosecutors have proof that you were committing a first- or second-degree felony? And if they think they do, does it meet the criteria of the crime committed?
These are critical issues to investigate when defending criminal charges. Hire the Philadelphia robbery defense lawyers at Shuttleworth Law P.C. to provide in-depth advice and legal resources that get to the bottom of your case.

Brad was the ONLY one who facilitated a face to face meeting online over Google Meet. I knew after speaking with him that I wanted him to represent me in this matter. He just seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. A couple of the other attorneys I spoke to had poor responsiveness which is alarming when that happens BEFORE you pay to retain their services. I'm not in the same state as he is but that did not matter.Brad was able to work with the other party and get this issue resolved fairly and quickly.
Thank You!
You can't go wrong with Atty. Shuttleworth.
He's a true professional!
Brad's performance in the trial was swift, calculated, and methodical. In what seemed like just a few minutes, Brad picked apart the claimants case against me, and the judge swiftly ruled in my favor. A year of anxiety gone! Brad is well worth the money spent and I recommend him without reservation.

PA Does Not Hold Back When Punishing Robbery Convictions
By now, you probably understand how serious your robbery charges are, as the Commonwealth punishes them as felonies. However, you might not realize that the potential penalties are basically life-changing and result in a loss of many good years if you go to prison.
Below, we have outlined these penalties according to their felony grading level:
- First-degree robbery: Up to 20 years imprisonment and $25,000 in fines
- Second-degree robbery: Up to ten years imprisonment and $25,000 in fines
- Third-degree felony robbery: Up to seven years imprisonment and $10,000 in fines
Other penalties are on the line when facing a felony. Not only are you facing prison and fines, but you may also lose other rights, such as gun rights, driving privileges, and more. People with felony convictions also face additional scrutiny when applying for jobs or renting a home.
