Your Corpus Christi Robbery Defense Attorney

​

Robbery is the use of force or threats of force to take another person’s property.  In other words, Robbery is theft with the addition of either force or a threat.  As such, Robbery is classified as a violent crime and carries with it much more significant penalties than simple theft.  In addition to the criminal penalties, a conviction for any violent crime can result in the loss of employment as well as the stigma that accompanies convictions of such crimes.  Your future can be seriously affected by a conviction for Robbery.

 

Robbery can be as simple as a case of shoplifting where the perpetrator pushes a store clerk to the ground as they run out.  This simple act of force can turn a misdemeanor into a violent felony.  Robbery can include carjacking as well as home invasion.  Remember, even the threat of force is sufficient to turn a theft into a Robbery.  If a person is seriously injured as a result of the act or if a weapon is used during the commission of the offense, the penalties and seriousness of the crime increase dramatically.
