Burglary Is Often a Misunderstood Criminal Charge
When people think of burglary, they often think of people breaking into the home of another person and stealing things from their home. The crime of burglary, however, is much broader in scope.
In the state of Nevada, anyone who illegally enters a building with the intent to commit another crime may be found guilty of burglary. The prosecution does not have to prove that the defendant actually committed another crime while in the building. Rather, the prosecution merely has to prove the intent to commit another crime.
Burglary charges are very serious in nature and can result in significant jail time. If you have been charged with burglary, it is critical that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
How We Can Help
If retained to handle your case, we will provide a vigorous defense. We will examine the facts of your case, file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, and prepare the case for trial.
In some cases involving burglary charges, a plea agreement may be reached in which a defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge that carries less significant penalties and that does not look as bad on the defendant's record. In some cases, a case may be continued or a plea reached that results in no criminal conviction.
In cases in which the prosecution is not willing to make a reasonable plea offer or our client prefers to take their case to trial, we are always prepared to advocate passionately for the defense of our client's rights. Our attorneys have extensive trial experience and have a proven record of results in complex criminal cases.
