Robbery Lawyer in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills
Have you been charged with Robbery?
Robbery is the act of stealing something from someone, usually with the use of some type of force or fear involved in order to take the stolen goods. This type of crime carries substantial penalties. If you or someone you know has been involved in a robbery, it is important that you contact an experienced and professional criminal defense attorney to immediately begin handling your defense.
Robbery is a serious crime and is considered a felony. Because there is normally always a degree of force used against another, sometimes through threats of physical harm, at the point of a gun, or actual harm, the penalties can vary greatly. There are varying degrees of felonies, 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree, based on the severity of the crime. Each degree has stiffer fines and penalties that go along with it. Grand theft is a felony and is the theft of items valued at $300 or more. Robbery is a felony regardless of the value of the item stolen, if it was taken from someone's person. If you are convicted of a robbery and have used a weapon, you can face a minimum 10-year prison sentence. Shooting a weapon during the robbery requires a minimum 20 year sentence. Striking someone with the gun requires a minimum sentence of 25 years to life.
