What is the Difference Between Robbery & Theft?
Although robbery and theft are similar, there are several key differences in the crimes:
- Theft is usually done with no one around and does not typically involve the use of force, violence, or threat of violence.
- Robbery, however, is performed in the presence of the victim and often uses force to obtain property.
What are the Penalties for Robbery?
The following are different levels of robbery crimes:
- If a firearm or deadly weapon is used during the robbery, it is a first-degree felony.
- Robbery with use of any other type of weapon can result in a 30 year prison term and a $10,000 penalty.
- Robbery without the use of a weapon is a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in jail and a similar fine.
- Robbery by sudden snatching is when another's property or money is stolen and the victim was or became aware carries up to 5 years in jail and up to a $5,000 in fines.

“My wife and I found out on a Monday that we needed a Defense Attorney on Tuesday for a family situation. I called the office and Megan quickly contacted Rusty and he reassured us that he would be at court on Tuesday and he would take care of everything. Those words were the most comforting we've heard as this came up not long after Hurricane Michael. Rusty and his office has no idea how much he helped us and how much we appreciate their quick response. Thank you will never cover how much you guys mean to us.”- Craig E.
