Robbery Charges Attorney In Florida Who Stands With You
Robbery in Florida involves taking property from another person through force, threats or intimidation. These cases can occur in parking lots, retail areas or sudden disputes in public spaces. At Law Firm of Scott T. Moorey, we study the events that shaped the encounter because each situation carries its own context.
Robbery may involve sudden snatching, the use of a firearm or the use of another deadly weapon. The level of force and the presence of a weapon determine how the state treats the case and the exposure you face.
Florida Statute §812.13 describes robbery as taking money or property through force, threats or actions that create fear. The statute increases the charge when weapons, injury or dangerous circumstances appear.
Penalties And Felony Levels For Robbery
Robbery by sudden snatching often counts as a third-degree felony. A robbery case without a weapon functions as a second-degree felony. Robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon rises to a first-degree felony and brings the highest exposure, including extended custody and long periods of court control.
A robbery conviction becomes part of your permanent history, and employers, landlords and agencies can look at that information when they decide on work, housing or licensing. We discuss how each felony level fits your situation and the options you want to consider.
Defense Paths We May Explore
Defense options may include proving misidentification, challenging witness accounts, presenting alibi evidence or showing that no force or intimidation occurred. We examine the details with you so each decision rests on clear information.
