Robbery is a serious offense in all states, one that needs to be handled by a serious team of criminal defense attorneys.

Robbery is most commonly defined as the taking of personal property of another person against their will with use of force or fear. Types of offenses include strong-arm robbery, armed robbery, attempted robbery, and carjacking.
What are different types of Robbery?
Armed robbery occurs when the force used against the victim involves the use of a gun or other deadly weapon. Armed robbery typically is charged in bank or store robberies, robbery of a home or of a person in a mugging.
Carjacking occurs when there is a robbery of a car, and is treated very similarly to armed robbery when it comes to sentencing and punishment.
Attempted robbery occurs when a person is not successful in taking another’s personal property. An attempted robbery is basically a failed robbery because of any reason. Unfortunately, an attempted robbery is treated the same way as a robbery charge in the court system. Therefore, you will need to have aggressive and experienced criminal attorneys, able and willing to do whatever it takes to defend you in these situations.

What are the penalties of a Robbery Conviction?
State prosecutors work relentlessly to get convictions for robbery charges. A robbery conviction carries with it a long state prison sentence and is considered a “strike” under California’s Three-Strike Law. This means that future convictions will carry enhanced sentences.
Robbery is commonly divided into two categories: First degree robbery and Second degree robbery. The penalty for a first degree robbery conviction is usually much lighter than the penalty for a second degree robbery conviction. Further, if convicted you may be put on parole or probation, and be required to pay restitution.
