Tampa Burglary Attorney

The offense of burglary under Florida law occurs when an individual enters a dwelling, structure or conveyance to commit an offense. There are several different charges contained within the statutes based on whether the property is occupied at the time of the crime and instrumentalities used in the commission of the crime. Typically, a person charged with burglary will be facing multiple counts, including but not limited to petit theft, grand theft and criminal mischief.

It is extremely important to those charged with burglary to seek the advice of an experienced Florida criminal attorney familiar with all the nuances of the burglary statutes who can fashion a proper defense based on the factual circumstances of each unique alleged offense.

Important factors in burglary cases include proper evaluation of the alleged structure and knowledge of the circumstances which would enhance a third degree felony burglary to a second or first degree. If the structure is occupied at the time of the offense, enhanced penalties can be charged by the state.
