Parsippany Burglary Defense Attorney - N.J.S. 2C:18-2

Get Help for New Jersey Burglary Charges

Burglary is a theft crime that involves breaking and entering. Individuals will be charged with burglary if they knowingly entered onto private property with the intention of committing a crime. It is vital that you receive legal representation immediately if you have been charged with a burglary. A Parsippany criminal defense lawyer can help you if you have been accused of burglary.

The Effects of Conviction

A conviction on this felony charge can have the following negative lifelong effects:

  • Designated a convicted felon
  • Inability to gain quality employment
  • Inability to hold certain professional licenses

Burglary charges in the state are either first, second or third degree. All burglary convictions will lead to a felony on your record, but my law firm can fight to have your charges reduced. I always pursue a negotiation with prosecution prior to any appearance in court.
