Florida Statutes Chapter 810
“Burglary and Trespass”
sets forth the laws governing the criminal offense of burglary,
including definitions and penalties.
Professional and Competent Criminal Defense
Being accused of a burglary crime can be embarrassing and harmful to
your reputation.
Burglary is a theft crime and considered a crime of ‘dishonesty.’
Future employers and others investigating your past will frown upon
you if you have been convicted of such a crime.
Understanding these concerns, the Orlando criminal trial attorneys
at Corzo and Kohrs will always try to resolve your case without
damaging your record.
Trial Experience Counts
The lowest level of burglary is a third degree felony, which carries
a maximum punishment of 5 years state supervised probation or 5
years of prison! Knowing this, each criminal defense attorney at
Corzo and Kohrs is prepared to handle your burglary case all the way
through trial.
When we accept a burglary case, we focus on beating the charge, not
simply negotiating “the best deal possible.” As with all other cases
we thoroughly examine your case looking for all evidence that may be
favorable to your case and evaluate your case for possible defenses
that may result in the charges being dismissed or the penalty
reduced.
