Illinois Robbery vs. Burglary Charges: Understanding the Legal Differences and Penalties

Burglary | Robbery

While robbery and burglary are sometimes mentioned together, they are distinct offenses under Illinois law, each carrying serious criminal penalties and long-term consequences. Both involve property or theft-related conduct, but the key difference lies in how and where the crime occurs. However, both are felony offenses that can result in years in prison, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record. At the Law Offices of Andrew Weisberg, our Chicago Illinois defense lawyers can represent you if you are facing robbery [...]
