Burglary, Theft, Or Robbery Charges in San Francisco, California
There are three degrees, or levels, associated with these types of criminal charges. No matter the specifics of your criminal charge, you can choose to hire legal representation by a robbery lawyer from our firm.
First Degree: First-degree occurs when a perpetrator injures either the victim or another person during the crime. Robbery in which the offender possesses a deadly weapon, or threatens the victim with a weapon, is also considered first-degree.
Second Degree: Second-degree occurs when a perpetrator commits the act with an accomplice present, or if the perpetrator causes injury to a person other than the victim. In some jurisdictions, theft of a car is automatically considered second-degree.
Third Degree: Third-degree occurs when a perpetrator uses physical force or a weapon to steal someone else’s money or property.
There are also other factors that can increase your sentence that include, but are not limited to:
