Santa Ana Robbery Lawyer

At Aguilar & Sonnonstine, APC, we represent clients for all different types of theft offenses, including robbery. Robbery involves the use of physical force, threats, or otherwise violent means to obtain money, property or goods from someone else against their will. Robbery is a violent offense that is considered to be a "strike" under California's Three Strikes Law, so if you or someone you know is facing this charge, it is a very serious situation.

There are varying degrees of robbery that a person can be charged with depending upon the type of property that was robbed. If a home, apartment, vehicle or any other type of residence is robbed, it will be considered first degree robbery. If any other type of place is robbed, such as a store, bank, etc., it will most often be considered second degree robbery. If a deadly weapon is used during the commission of the robbery, the defendant may face elevated charges or additional weapon charges.
