Understanding Robbery Charges in Florida
Robbery in Florida is defined as the taking of money or other property from a person, with intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the person or the owner of the money or property, when in the course of the taking there is the use of force, violence, assault, or putting in fear. This definition encompasses various scenarios, from simple street muggings to more complex bank heists.
Key Aspects of Robbery Charges:
- Force or Intimidation: Using force or intimidation to take property elevates a theft to a robbery.
- Severity of Charges: The degree of force or the use of weapons can result in charges ranging from second-degree to first-degree felonies.
- Potential Penalties:
Depending on the circumstances, penalties can include significant prison time, hefty fines, and long-term criminal records.
How We Help
Strategic Defense Planning
Our legal team begins by meticulously reviewing the evidence presented against you, identifying any procedural mistakes or violations of your rights that could weaken the prosecution’s case. We then develop a strategic defense plan tailored to the specifics of your situation, aiming to challenge the prosecution's assertions about the nature and circumstances of the alleged robbery.
Negotiation and Plea Bargaining
Hamil Scott Law Firm excels in negotiating with prosecutors to reduce the severity of the charges or the penalties. In some cases, we may negotiate plea bargains that favor lesser penalties in exchange for a guilty plea, especially when the evidence suggests minimizing exposure to more severe statutory penalties.
Trial Advocacy
If your case proceeds to trial, our experienced trial attorneys are prepared to represent you vigorously in court. We present a strong defense by questioning the credibility of the evidence, challenging the prosecution’s witnesses, and asserting any applicable defenses such as mistaken identity or lack of intent.
Post-Trial Services
Our commitment to our clients does not end at trial. We provide comprehensive post-trial support, including handling appeals and pursuing opportunities for sentence reduction or expungement where possible.
