What Is Burglary?

Burglary is the unlawful entry into a commercial or residential property with the intent to commit theft or any other felony. The intent to commit a crime once inside is a critical component of burglary charges that distinguishes it from other property crimes, such as trespassing. DCD LAW, Inc. is well-versed in the nuances of burglary law and can provide the guidance you need.

Legal Defenses for Burglary

Several legal defenses can be employed to contest burglary charges. One common defense for burglary is the lack of intent to commit a crime. If it can be demonstrated that there was no criminal intent, a judge may decide to reduce or dismiss the charges. Another defense could be mistaken identity, where the accused was mistakenly identified as the perpetrator. Additionally, if the evidence against you was obtained unlawfully, it can be challenged and potentially excluded from the trial. Our attorneys at DCD LAW, Inc. will analyze the details of your case to ensure we build the right defense strategy. 

Residential Burglary vs. Commercial Burglary

Residential burglary involves homes and living spaces, whereas commercial burglary involves businesses and non-residential properties. The penalties for residential burglary are often more severe due to the perceived invasion of personal space and the potential harm to residents.
