Orange County Burglary Attorney

Brief Overview of Burglary Charges

Under §459 of the 2010 California Penal Code, burglary is defined as the unlawful entry into a building or home with the intentions of committing either petit or grand larceny or a felony of any kind. It is important to realize that this is a crime that hangs completely upon the "intent" of the defendant – no theft actually has to have occurred for the defendant to be successfully convicted. For this type of crime, the penalties are as follows:

• First Degree Burglary – Imprisonment for two, four or six years
• Second Degree Burglary - Imprisonment for up to a year

It is important to realize that if you have recently been criminally charged, you do not have the luxury of hesitating. Immediate action is necessary to help you protect your best interests; therefore, as soon as you have been criminally charged, it is vastly important that you immediately contact an experienced, reliable Orange County criminal defense lawyer that you will be able to trust to help you.
