Robbery & Break and Enter Lawyers Sydney
Robbery and break and enter offences are serious indictable matters tried in the District Court. The maximum penalties differ depending on the nature and circumstances of the offence. These charges require experienced criminal defence counsel and early review of the full brief of evidence.

You Have Been Charged: What Happens Next
1
You Have Been Charged
A robbery or break and enter charge results in a Court Attendance Notice listing your matter at the Local Court for committal. The brief of evidence must be reviewed given the severity of the charges and the potential penalties. Early instruction allows for proper assessment of the evidence and available defences. A lawyer should be engaged without delay.
2
Your First Court Appearance
At the first mention in the Local Court, we appear on your behalf, confirm bail and begin the process of obtaining the full brief of evidence. We advise on the specific charge, what the prosecution must prove and the available defences. The matter will proceed through committal before reaching the District Court for trial or sentence. We review every document in the brief before any advice is given on the conduct of the matter and protect your position at every stage.
3
We Assess the Prosecution Case
The brief of evidence in robbery matters typically includes complainant accounts, CCTV footage, identification evidence and any admissions made at interview. We assess the strength of the identification evidence, the description and use of any weapon, the nature and degree of force alleged and whether any defence is available. Identification is frequently the central issue in contested robbery matters and is assessed carefully against the specific evidence in the brief before any advice is given.
4
We Advise on the Right Strategy
We advise on the strongest course available based on the charge, the evidence and your personal circumstances. Where the matter should be defended, we prepare for trial in the District Court with experienced senior counsel and address all pre-trial matters before the trial date is confirmed. Where a plea is appropriate, sentencing preparation begins immediately with evidence of your role in the offending, your personal history, any expression of remorse and steps taken toward rehabilitation.
5
We Represent You Throughout
We appear at every committal mention, directions hearing and trial or sentencing. At trial, the prosecution must prove the taking of property with force or threat of force. We challenge the identification evidence, test every prosecution witness in cross-examination and address every element of the prosecution case. At sentencing, we place detailed evidence before the court and make detailed submissions on your role, your personal circumstances and every available mitigating factor.
6
Your Matter Is Finalised
Your matter is resolved by verdict at trial or by plea and sentence. Outcomes depend on the nature and degree of force used, whether a weapon was involved, the planning involved, your role in the offending and your personal circumstances. From charge to finalisation, your defence is prepared and conducted to achieve the strongest available outcome. We advise on all available options at every stage including bail, appeal rights and any further steps available after the final decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a free initial consultation available?
Yes. Given the serious nature of a robbery or armed robbery charge and the District Court proceedings that follow, early legal advice is essential. You speak directly with a criminal defence lawyer about the specific charge, the procedure that applies and the available options before any decision is made about the conduct of the matter. Call 1300 274 652 to speak with a lawyer now.
What happens if I call now?
You will speak directly with a criminal defence lawyer who will assess the charge, advise on bail and identify the immediate steps that need to be taken. Robbery and armed robbery matters require thorough preparation from the outset. Early instruction allows the brief of evidence to be reviewed fully and the available defences, particularly the identification evidence, to be properly assessed before any decision is made.
What is the difference between robbery and armed robbery?
Robbery involves the use of force or the threat of immediate force against a person in connection with stealing. Armed robbery involves the use of an offensive weapon or instrument, or involves being in company, during the commission of the robbery. Armed robbery carries a significantly higher maximum penalty. The presence of a weapon, even where it is not used, is treated as an aggravating factor at sentencing.
Can I get bail on a robbery charge?
Bail is available for robbery and armed robbery charges but the strength of the application depends on the specific charge, your prior history, the proposed conditions and the circumstances of the alleged offending. We advise on the realistic prospects of a bail application in your circumstances, prepare the application with all necessary supporting material and appear at the bail hearing on your behalf.
Will I go to jail for robbery?
A custodial sentence is a real prospect for robbery and armed robbery in the District Court. The outcome depends on the degree of force used, whether a weapon was involved, the planning involved and your personal circumstances. For a first offender in a less serious matter, a non-custodial outcome may be achievable with thorough preparation. We advise on the realistic sentencing range for your specific circumstances at the initial consultation.
How much will this cost?
For District Court robbery and armed robbery matters, a detailed fee estimate is provided at the initial consultation based on the expected scope and complexity of the proceedings. The estimate covers all stages from the Local Court committal through to trial or sentencing. All fees are agreed before any work commences and are reviewed with you at each significant stage of the matter.
