Aggravated Robbery is a very serious felony offense. It is a first
degree felony and carries a range of punishment from 5 years to Life
in prison.
Houston Criminal Lawyer Jim Sullivan has represented many clients accused of
aggravated robbery. In fact, his second felony trial in the early
1990s involved a client accused of committing an aggravated robbery
right across the street from the South Houston Police Department.
His client's car was left behind, and the SHPD police chief testified
that he positively identified his client as being one of those who
ran from the scene.  As the client was a felony habitual and on
parole, he could not testify on his own behalf. Despite those
difficult circumstances, Attorney Jim Sullivan persuaded the jury to find
his client Not Guilty.  He then represented him at the parole hearing
and kept his client on parole.
