- RobberyThe judge, by law, must usually first consider sentencing you to a term of probation before imposing a any prison or jail sentence. Probation is almost always a possibility. We have secured probationary sentences for such serious offenses as drug distribution, felon in possession of firearm, possession of child pornography, and armed robbery. If probation is not available as an option and incarceration is necessary, we ALWAYS push for the most lenient sentence possible. We stress many factors to sentencing judges such as employment history, education, family history, AODA programming, mental health issues, and all other mitigating factors related to our client’s character and the circumstances surrounding the offense. Contact us to review your facts and circumstances so we may act immediately to get you the best resolution to your legal problem.
