Fort Lauderdale Robbery Attorney
Theft Crime Lawyer in Florida
Robbery is a type of
theft crime defined by Florida law as the criminal taking of property from another person without their consent with the intention of depriving that person of their property for any length of time, whether temporarily or permanently. Robbery differs from other theft crimes, such as
burglary, in that the person committing the crime uses threats, force, violence or assault in order to steal the property from the owner. Due to the threat and force that is present in a robbery crime, the punishments are much more severe, especially in certain circumstances such as when a firearm or other deadly weapon is used in the commission of the crime. If you are facing charges for robbery the first thing you should do is to acquire the legal aid of a skilled
Fort Lauderdale theft crime attorney to begin building a defense for your case.
If you are charged with committing a robbery you will face felony charges, which can worsen in severity depending upon the type of robbery, the value of the property stolen, if any injury occurred in the act of committing the robbery and whether or not a weapon or firearm was used. Whether or not you are facing a first-degree felony for a robbery committed while in possession of a firearm or a second-degree felony with no weapon, you will need to begin working immediately with your attorney to fight your charges and investigate any and all evidence and testimony that might be used against you by the prosecution. Our firm is dedicated to working hard to ensure that every possible step is taken to ensure you have every chance to avoid a conviction.
