Southern California Robbery Attorney
Fighting the Prosecution. Protecting Your Rights.
One look at potential penalties for burglary and robbery convictions reveals that a vigorous defense against charges is advisable. A conviction for even a misdemeanor theft charge can bring up to a year in jail. The courts "presume" that a prison sentence is warranted for home burglary. And if someone is home during a home burglary, prison time is mandatory.
If you face burglary or robbery charges in the San Diego area, the attorney team of The Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong, APLC, can help. We have achieved not-guilty verdicts and hung juries in numerous jury trials, as well as significantly reduced charges for violations that include:
- Home burglary

- Shoplifting
- Embezzlement

- Theft for needed items like baby food
- Theft committed in order to obtain money to buy drugs
