Breaking And Entering Is Closely Related To Burglary

As a statutory offense, breaking and entering is closely related to burglary. This charge requires breaking with intent to commit a misdemeanor other than trespassing or assault and battery. It is a class six felony punishable by up to five years in a state penitentiary and substantial fines. Consequences can be even more significant if there is the presence of certain modifiers such as whether or not the accused was armed or has a prior conviction.

Breaking and entering is a serious offense and is viewed as one that is very dangerous to the community. As such, this charge is pursued aggressively by both the prosecution and the court. Typically, an effective defense is centered on the numerous technical aspects of the statutes. You need an attorney with the considerable skills required to compare the facts of the case to the specific statutory requirements. Contact our firm for a strong and efficient defense no matter how complex your case.
