Orange County Robbery Lawyer
Defense When Facing Robbery Charges
Our state law defines robbery as the unlawful taking or attempted taking of property that is in the immediate possession of another by threat or force. There are two kinds of robbery, first-degree robbery and second degree robbery. First-degree includes robbery of a dwelling or robbery of a vehicle (car-jacking). Other types of robberies such as muggings and similar crimes are classified as second-degree robbery. If you have been arrested or fear that you may be arrested for either of these, you are facing serious charges and should consult an
Orange County criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to begin planning your defense.

Robbery is considered a violent crime and a conviction is a "strike" under the

During the commission of a crime, the use of an object to threaten the victim with harm can be classified as "use of a deadly weapon," and even a rock or a shoe may qualify as such.
