What Is Burglary?

Under California criminal statutes, burglary is generally defined as entering a house, business or other property with the intent to commit a theft offense or other crime, such as assault or robbery. The charges for burglary vary, depending upon whether the building was inhabited and other factors.

Our law firm can defend you against first- or second-degree burglary charges. If appropriate and if it is in your best interests, we can also seek reduced charges.

Burglary Vs. Trespass

In some cases, a burglary charge can be reduced to a simple trespass charge, provided there is insufficient evidence the defendant intended to commit a crime during the trespass. The burden of proof is on the prosecution, and our defense lawyers know how to make that burden a difficult one to bear. Every case is different.
