Robbery Lawyer in Fresno

Robbery Defense Lawyer in Fresno County, California

In California, robbery is defined as the taking of personal property from a person against his or her will and by means of force or fear. It is classified as a violent felony, thus a conviction counts as a "strike" on your criminal record under California's three-strikes law. Receiving a strike on your criminal record will result in sever long term consequences.

If you already have a felony conviction on your record or if you get a second felony, your sentence will be double the term required by law. Conviction of a third felony will result in a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life in prison. At Schweitzer & Davidian, we have extensive experience defending individuals against a broad spectrum of robbery, theft and burglary charges. We routinely represent clients in Clovis, Visalia, Fresno County, and throughout Central California.

Penalties for Robbery Convictions in California

Under Penal Code 211, California classifies robbery into two categories—first and second degree. First-degree robbery is one that occurs inside a dwelling or at an automated teller machine (ATM), while second-degree robbery encompasses all other robberies.

A robbery conviction can result in the following penalties:

First-degree robbery- Three, four or six years in state prison

  • Second-degree robbery- Two, three or five years in state prison.
