Robbery

Robbery in California involves the taking of personal property from another person by force or fear. In some situations, a person can be guilty of robbery when they steal property and use force or fear to retain it. Robbery is an extremely serious charge in California, and a strike under the Three Strikes Law. It also carries a potential lengthy prison sentence, especially if a firearm or weapon is alleged to have been used. Criminal defense attorney Jessica Agnich has had dozens of robbery cases, including strong arm robbery, armed robbery, bank robbery, and home invasion robbery.

Burglary — Residential, Commercial, Vehicle

Burglary includes entry into a home, car, or other place with the intent to steal. Types of burglary can include instances of commercial burglary, vehicle burglary, or burglary of a home. Residential burglary in particular has significant potential sentencing consequences in California. Residential burglary is a strike under the Three Strikes Law, probation is only given in unusual circumstances, and jail custody credits can be limited if an occupant is present in the home at the time of the burglary. Jessica has represented dozens of adult and juvenile clients charged with burglary, and has achieved excellent results for her clients. See just some examples below:
