Robbery may be defined as theft of money or property through the use of force or fear. This force may involve a deadly weapon such as a gun, or it may simply involve physical force. Fear may include a threat of unlawful injury to the person, family, or property of the victim.

Robbery by fear is often referred to as strong arm robbery. Robbery using or showing a weapon is referred to as armed robbery, a first degree crime. Many alleged robbers are charged with a gang enhancement adding years of potential sentencing. This can happen often without a gang purpose, but because the person charged is tattooed or wearing the wrong color. Many young people associate with gang members because they happen to live in close proximity to gangs. This often results in being accused because of friendship or shared poverty.

In California, robbery or carjacking are punishable by imprisonment in the state prison and are strikes. The assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney is essential to a vigorous defense of robbery or car jacking charges. Three of the five criminal defense lawyers at our firm were in law enforcement prior to becoming lawyers. We know the criminal justice system from both sides and use that knowledge to the benefit of our clients.
