San Francisco Robbery & Theft Crimes Attorney

Theft charges range from petty theft to robbery and burglary — the latter are “strike” offenses with serious prison exposure. Identification and intent are often the heart of the case.

What you are facing

Robbery is a violent felony and a strike under California law. Burglary and grand theft can also be charged as felonies, with penalties that escalate quickly based on value and prior record.

Penalties in California

  • Felony exposure and possible strikes
  • State prison for robbery and residential burglary
  • Restitution to alleged victims
  • Enhancements for prior convictions

How we defend these cases

  • Challenging eyewitness identification
  • Disputing intent and the value of property
  • Negotiating reductions to misdemeanors where possible
  • Litigating unlawful search and arrest issues
