San Jose Robbery Defense Attorney

Understanding California's Robbery Laws

A variety of robbery classifications exist, with some carrying far heavier weight than others. These classifications, such as aggravated or simple robbery, can be made more serious with the designation of degrees, with first degree robbery carrying the most severe penalty.

Typical robbery charges include everything from home invasions, to carjackings, to crimes committed against individuals while they are engaged in acts such as withdrawing money from an ATM.

Whenever weapons, especially deadly weapons, are involved in robberies, the penalties become even more severe. Sentences ranging from just a couple of years in prison, to upwards of twenty years are not uncommon in cases such as these.

Nakano, Attorney at Law can help identify which classification of robbery fits the alleged incident while also determining whether the proposed penalties and punishments are consistent with the law.
