Aggressive Defense in Robbery and Burglary Cases

Robbery and burglary are both theft crimes but they involve very different circumstances. In a robbery, goods are stolen using force or the threat of force. This is the more serious of the two charges and is typically a Class 1 felony if a dangerous weapon is used. A burglary involves breaking and entering into another person's property with the intent to steal. This can be either a Class 2 or Class 1 felony depending on the circumstances.

Both charges carry the possibility of substantial prison sentences if you are convicted. Attorney Cosmo J. Tedone understands the high stakes involved in these cases and offers clients an aggressive criminal defense. A former public defender, Mr. Tedone has handled all types of robbery and burglary cases.
