Burglary and Breaking and Entering

Virginia Beach Burglary Defense Attorney

The crime of burglary is a felony and requires a prosecutor to demonstrate very specifically that the accused intended to steal property. Simple breaking and entering on the other hand carries possible lesser penalties. Successful defense of these charges requires an attorney who is well-versed in the law, knows how to uncover facts, and how to present persuasive arguments.

Building a Strong and Effective Defense

James Garrett is a strong advocate for clients accused of burglary, theft, and other misdemeanors and felonies. Our firm will work to build an effective defense designed to obtain the best outcome possible. We will look at every element of your case to uncover potential means to overcome the charge or get it reduced to a lesser count with lesser penalties.

For example, a prosecutor has some leeway in the types of charges he or she brings. It may possible to negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce a breaking and entering charge, or even a burglary charge, to a lesser offense such as trespassing. In that situation, we may even be able to negotiate to obtain a deferred judgment that can keep your record clear.

Barnes & Garrett believes that every person deserves a strong defense. We will work to defend your rights and your freedom to the greatest extent possible.
