When it comes to robbery, the amount of money taken makes no difference. The law mandates a sentence of 1-20 years. However, a good attorney can sometimes convince a prosecutor to accept a plea to a lesser charge, which could involve little, if any jail time. It is critical to get an attorney involved as soon as possible to protect the Defendant's rights and to get the best treatment possible.

The minimum sentence would be one year, but whether that is served in custody or not depends upon a variety of factors, including the court you are appearing in. You should consider hiring an attorney as soon as possible to help you with this matter.

The minimum is one year but the maximum is twenty years, so you want to have an attorney as soon as possible. The amount of money makes no difference (as long as something of value was taken by force or intimidation). The problem is that the prosecution sees this more as a crime of violence than a theft crime. That's why it is important to get an attorney as soon as possible to deal with the district attorney's office in a case like this. Be sure to get an experienced criminal defense attorney right away.
