Understanding robbery allegations
Section 343 describes several forms of robbery, including theft connected with violence or threats, assault with intent to steal, and stealing while armed with an offensive weapon or imitation. The exact form alleged matters because the necessary proof is not identical in every case.
Preparing your robbery defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The reliability of identification, including lighting, timing, and observations
- Video, location evidence, communications, and the alleged sequence of events
- The connection between any property-taking and alleged violence or threat
- The alleged role of each person and any available defence
What to do before you contact us
Keep court and release paperwork and tell the office about any detention or hearing date. Preserve records relevant to your whereabouts. Avoid contacting witnesses or discussing the evidence publicly while seeking legal advice.
Confirm arrangements before travelling from Kitchener
Call before making travel plans from Kitchener. Identify the service you need, the court shown on your documents, and the next known date so the office can discuss availability. Ask which records should be supplied beforehand and how to provide them without putting sensitive material in the enquiry form.
Confirm how the consultation will take place before setting out for Brampton. Do not assume that the meeting format also determines how you attend court. Raise any language or accessibility question early and keep the court’s instructions with your paperwork for the appointment.
Planning a Kitchener court appearance
Kitchener Courthouse is listed at 85 Frederick Street. Its official page includes court contacts and links for accessibility information. If this is your court location, check the arrangements before travelling and tell our office about the upcoming date when requesting a consultation.
Kitchener courthouse and accessibility information
Follow the instructions for your particular proceeding. A published video link does not mean you may attend remotely when an in-person appearance is required. If the location or attendance method is unclear, confirm it with your lawyer or the court.
