Burglary

Seattle Burglary Defense Lawyer Burglary is a serious crime with serious consequences. An arrest and conviction for a residential burglary, or any other property crime, can be a life-changing event that may result in penalties such as mandatory state prison time and breath-taking fines. Residential burglaries have reached epidemic proportions in many communities and courts are routinely handing out stiff penalties, even to first time offenders. To convict you of burglary, theft, or other crimes involving moral turpitude, the government must prove that you had a specific mental intent during the commission of the crime. In a burglary case, for example, the government must prove not only that you entered the premises, but also that you did so with the specific intent to commit a crime while inside. This specific mental intent is a required element of the offense, and the entire case can be defeated if this intent is successfully challenged. Seattle burglary defense attorney lawyer Robert Perez knows how to effectively challenge specific criminal intent in burglary prosecutions. These cases present complex factual defenses that require an absolute command of the facts and the evidence. Whatever facts are available to your defense, they need to be presented with the confidence that comes from years of experience and comfort in front of a jury.
