Burglary Defense Attorney In Lynnwood
Burglary Defended By A Theft Crimes Attorney
Burglary is defined as the act of unlawfully entering a building or structure
with the intent to steal or to commit any other crime. In the State of
Washington there are 2 types of burglary for which you can be arrested:
- Burglary in the Second Degree is considered a Class B Felony and is punishable
by up to 10 years imprisonment, a fine of up to $20,000 or both. Additionally,
you could be charged with "Residential Burglary" which is also
a Class B Felony but which can carry stiffer penalties and is considered
more serious.
- Burglary in the First Degree is a Class A Felony and is the most serious
burglary charge. Burglary in the First Degree involves being armed with
a weapon or committing an assault during the burglary. This type of felony
carries a penalty of life imprisonment and a fine of up to $50,000 or both.
It is vital that you contact an experienced and knowledgeable theft crimes
defense attorney immediately upon arrest for burglary. The sentences for
the two types of buglary vary widely, so it is in your best interest to
retain a lawyer who may be able to reduce your charge. Contact Lance R.
