Facing a burglary charge in the Bronx is a serious matter that can carry life-changing consequences.

Understanding Burglary Charges in New York

Burglary is defined under New York Penal Law as unlawfully entering or remaining in a building with the intent to commit a crime inside. Depending on the circumstances, burglary charges may range from Third-Degree Burglary (a Class D felony) to First-Degree Burglary (a Class B violent felony). Factors that affect the severity of the charge include:

  • Whether a weapon was involved
  • Whether anyone was injured
  • Whether the property was a dwelling (someone’s home)
  • Whether you have prior convictions

Possible Penalties for a Burglary Conviction

The consequences of a burglary conviction can be severe:

  • Third-Degree Burglary – Up to 7 years in prison
  • Second-Degree Burglary – Up to 15 years in prison
  • First-Degree Burglary – Up to 25 years in prison

In addition to prison time, a conviction can result in probation, restitution, and a permanent felony record that can affect your future employment, housing, and immigration status.

How We Defend Against Burglary Charges

  • Questioning whether there was actual intent to commit a crime
