Under Florida robbery statutes, no one has a right to take something from another individual against their will. Robbery is the taking of property or money from another, with the intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the individual of that asset. To constitute robbery, the act must occur with the use of force, violence, assault or "putting in fear," which makes it a more serious crime than theft. If you're charged with robbery in Florida, you need help from a Miami criminal defense attorney quickly.

Enhanced Robbery Penalties

Certain circumstances present in the robbery can lead to more serious charges. Aggravating factors that can make a simple robbery lead to increased punishments include, but are not limited to, use of a firearm, use of another type of weapon and where the robbery took place. If you are convicted of carrying a weapon while committing a robbery, you may have to pay a fine up to $10,000.00 and serve up to 30 years in a state prison. Robbery is always a felony charge whose punishments range from probation to life in prison.

When we take on your case, we assume responsibility for your life and freedom. You are not just a "case" but someone who needs a hard-hitting defense towards the best outcome possible. In addition to our work in Miami, we help people throughout Florida and the U.S. who are facing tough criminal charges.
