Burglary Defense Attorneys

Trespassing, or the illegal entrance of a building or secured area or container, becomes a burglary charge if law enforcement and prosecution can prove that this entrance was motivated by the intent to commit further crimes. Often, this crime is alleged to be theft, but in many cases, it can be difficult to prove that intention existed. Too many times, simple trespassing get trumped up in court by eager prosecutors as felony burglary charges.

Burglary

What type of burglary have I been charged with?

Burglary has multiple definitions under Colorado statutes. Like most offenses, these are organized by the perceived severity and circumstances of the crime.

They can be defined as the following:

First degree burglary: Involves assault or menace occurring during the course of the crime
Second degree burglary: Involves illegally entering a building to commit a crime
Third degree burglary: Involves the violation of safes, vaults, or locked containers

These are just the basic definitions. The presence of illegal substances, weapons, and a criminal record can further complicate and worsen these charges. The least serious of these charges, third degree burglary, carries up to three years in prison.
