Robbery

Robbery occurs when another’s property is taken by the use of violence or intimidation. A victim who felt threatened while the crime was being committed is a factor which must be present for it to be considered robbery rather than theft. Robbery is a felony offense that can be charged under different classes of felonies depending on the circumstances involved. Charges can also be brought for attempted robbery.

If a firearm is shown or present, whether or not discharged, this constitutes armed robbery. Even where this is not the case, the court will consider aggravating factors such as the infliction of injury or use of an accomplice. Such factors can lead to heavier charges and result in more severe penalties.

At the Robinson Law Firm, P.A., we are passionate about doing all we can to protect your rights and future. Felony charges require great attention and precise defense. Being convicted of a felony results in a record that not only affects your legal standing but also your civil rights.
