Fort Worth Robbery Attorney
The Defense You Need Against a Robbery Charge
Although robbery includes an element of
theft, it is also considered a crime of violence and is penalized far more severely
than other theft charges. If you’re facing an allegation as serious
as robbery, it’s likely that you feel isolated, hopeless, and as
though no one has your best interests in mind. At
Jerry Loftin & Associates, our legal team considers your needs a priority and when you bring us
on your side, there isn’t a single aspect of your case that you’ll
face alone.
If you’ve been arrested for robbery, you should not hesitate to call
our firm immediately after your arrest. Being charged for a crime is different
than being convicted, meaning there is still hope to build the best possible
defense needed to safeguard your future. Our criminal defense attorney
can work tirelessly to ensure that your rights are protected.

Robbery vs. Aggravated Robbery
Robbery is charged as a second-degree felony and occurs when an individual
commits a theft offense in addition to knowingly causing bodily injury
to another or threatens the victim of injury or death. Aggravated robbery,
however, is classified as a first-degree felony and occurs when an individual
causes serious bodily harm, uses a deadly weapon or causes fear of injury
or death when that person is either 65 years old or disabled.
If convicted of robbery, penalties can include:
- 2-20 years in prison
- $10,000 in fines
If convicted of aggravated robbery, penalties can include:
- Up to 99 years in prison
- $10,000 in fines
