Have you been charged with burglary? Burglary, in most cases, is a felony, even when there was no intent to commit a crime or enter unlawfully. Whether these allegations are true or false, even if you never meant to enter a dwelling unlawfully or were wrongly accused, the consequences are very serious. The resulting turmoil, both personally and professionally, can be devastating and life altering. We can help. Facing the threat of such devastating charges can cause unimaginable anxiety and fear, as well as the threat of long-lasting and damaging character assassination. The social stigma of being charged with domestic violence — spousal abuse or assault — whether it has been proven or not, ruins even the most misunderstood accused of this crime.
What Is Burglary?
There are various types of burglary charges, delineated by degrees. Most are considered felonies — that would be first- and second-degree burglary charges, and these all typically come with prison sentences if convicted. It is important to note that whether you are facing the most serious felony burglary charge or a misdemeanor, it is a crime, and comes with serious penalties. While this might be an egregious false accusation — you weren’t even there, you never trespassed — whatever the charge alleges — you will still need a solid defense. It’s imperative that with these types of criminal charges, you don’t go it alone.
There are several kinds of burglary charges and they are often categorized by what was stolen, if anything, or intent to enter unlawfully. See below for several types of burglary allegations:
- Burglary
- Theft
- Breaking and entering
- Trespassing
- Shoplifting
