Burglary allegations often turn on whether an entry occurred and whether the defendant possessed the required intent to commit a theft or other felony inside the structure. We review surveillance, witness statements, and property records to build defense strategies.
Depending on the facts, defenses may include mistaken identity, lack of intent, lawful presence, or issues with the admissibility of evidence obtained by law enforcement.
Defense focus areas
- • Challenging unlawful searches and seizures
- • Contesting identification and eyewitness reliability
- • Arguing lawful presence or lack of intent
What to expect
Outcomes vary by degree and evidence; we often seek reduced charges, diversion, or dismissal when the prosecution's case is weak. For serious charges, trial preparation is essential.
