Burglary Charges in Miami, Florida

Miami Criminal Defense Attorney

Burglary is a serious theft crime that involves unlawfully entering another's property with the intention of committing a crime, most often theft. Burglary is also referred to as "breaking and entering." In Florida, this is a first degree felony and is punishable by up to life in prison. Lesser penalties may apply in certain situations, depending on the particular case. Possession of burglary tools with the intent to trespass or commit burglary is a criminal offense in itself - a third degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Miami criminal defense attorney Michael Mirer can help if you or someone you know has been accused of burglary. Whether you have already been arrested or if you are currently under investigation for this offense, you will benefit from having an experienced professional at your side to guide you through this often complex and difficult legal process. After all, the outcome of your case may impact you for the rest of your life - even if you do not end up spending years or decades in prison.

Every single aspect of your case may impact the charges and eventually the penalties that you may face if convicted, and this is one of many reasons your choice in criminal lawyer is so important. The possession of a deadly weapon, for example, may mean that you will face life in prison rather than up to 15 years in prison. Your attorney's ability to prove that you were unarmed or that you entered a property for a lawful reason may make the difference between 15 years or life in prison, or between a conviction and an acquittal.
