Under Florida robbery statutes, no one has a right to take something from another individual against their will. Robbery is the taking of property or money from another, with the intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the individual of that asset. To constitute robbery, the act must occur with the use of force, violence, assault or putting in fear, which makes it a serious crime. If you're charged with robbery in Florida, you need help from a South Florida robbery criminal defense lawyer quickly.

Certain circumstances present in the robbery can lead to more serious charges. Aggravating factors that can make a simple robbery lead to increased punishment include but are not limited to use of a firearm, use of another weapon and where the robbery took place. Robbery is always a felony charge whose punishments range from probation to life in prison. Fort Lauderdale robbery criminal defense lawyer David S.
