There are four types of robbery offences. Each is a serious offence and comes with different consequences.
In section 95 of the Crimes Act, aggravated robbery is when a person robs another individual and uses physical violence, intentionally or recklessly inflicts bodily harm, and deprives the person of their liberty.

According to section 96 of the Crimes Act, robbery with wounding is when an individual robs another person and wounds or inflicts actual bodily harm on them.
According to section 97 of the Crimes Act, robbery in company is when a person in the company with another person or persons robs or assaults with intent to rob another individual. This offence also refers to a group of people who search for an individual intending to rob.
The group’s use of a dangerous & offensive weapon during the robbery can also be considered an aggravated offence.
Armed robbery is when a person or person in a group commits a robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon and does inflict grievous bodily harm to another individual. This act is deemed an armed robbery by section 98 of the Crimes Act.
In most cases, robbery charges are handled in the local Court. However, your case may be transferred to the district court if your robbery or associated charges are severe enough.
You will have to plead guilty or not guilty. Your robbery lawyer Sydney can help you decide your case’s best course of action. However, James and Jaramillo will work hard to defend whatever plea you make.
Those looking to plead not guilty should know there are ways to win a robbery case with this plea. The prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that you took property and threatened or used violence against the alleged victim.
If the prosecution fails to prove any of these elements, you may be found not guilty by the courts.
Our experienced robbery lawyer team will also use several defences while fighting your case. If the prosecution can not provide sufficient evidence to prove that you committed the crime, James and Jaramillo will be able to cast doubt on their evidence.
Some tactics that your lawyer may use in your defence include proving that you were under duress or that the property was yours in the first place.
If you choose to plead guilty, you must speak with an experienced lawyer familiar with robbery charges, such as our expert legal team at James and Jaramillo. We can review your case and see if there is a proper defence or a chance to lessen the charges against you.
Whatever option you choose, James and Jaramillo will support you and work to find the best possible solution in this matter.
We know how important it is to secure a defence quickly. Our experienced lawyers will work hard to defend you against these charges and find you the best possible outcome.
Our law firm’s priority is to defend your right to a fair trial and ensure your voice is heard in court. These priorities will be the main driver of your legal defence team.
There are several robbery offences, and each type has a different maximum penalty.
It is not a guarantee that the above penalties will be applied to you if you are found guilty. Those sentences are the maximum sentence. However, the Court typically considers things like age, criminal history, and amount of planning or violence when determining your sentence.
At James and Jaramillo, your robbery lawyer Sydney will work with you to make the best decisions possible regarding your case.
They will look over the evidence and recommend a plea. However, the choice is ultimately up to you. Our lawyers are there to provide you with support and legal advice, keep you informed, walk you through the legal proceedings, and defend you in your decision.
For a woman, it is very difficult to deal with harassment, stalking and intimidation. Last year, I have applied for APVO against my neighbour.
Although I had CCTV footages and other evidence, to actually go through the whole court process is stressful, especially because I decided to represent myself in the court. Once I stepped into the legal process the realization hit me that having evidence may not be enough to win and protect myself from the defendant. When you represent yourself, the defendant’s solicitor sees that as an easy winning for his client and uses intimidation tactics.
I have contacted several solicitors but was put off by their emotionlessness approach. I contacted Jonathan Jaramillo from James and Jaramillo Lawyers who offered free first consultation. Comprehensive information offered by Jonathan was very impressive. He listened attentively and took time to answer my questions. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I decided to represent myself and asked Jonathan if he would guide me and advise me throughout the process. This would be more cost-effective for me. Regardless of the size of the case, Jonathan was from the beginning to the end extremely professional, prompt and kind. He explained everything clearly making me feel confident with the legal process.
I have managed to get Interim Order in the early stage of the process-mention, which was protecting me till the final hearing in March 2024 when I won the case. This outcome could not have been achieved without working with Jonathan and his professional guidance. I can’t speak highly enough about Jonathan Jaramillo and recommend him for anyone who is looking for a good, responsive and reliable solicitor, and a genuine person.

I highly recommend Jonathan Jaramillo and his team to anyone for their legal needs. Jonathan was extremely professional and informative throughout the whole process. As someone who is not familiar with the court process, he was immensely helpful and compassionate in helping ease my stress and anxiety leading up to my case. He achieved the best possible result for me, for which I am very grateful. I will definitely use them again for my legal matters.
