Criminal Defense Lawyer in Miami

Burglary and Battery Charges

Being convicted of committing burglary can result in up to 5 years imprisonment for an individual.  In the event that a battery takes place during the burglary, this raises the crime to a felony in the first degree which is punishable by imprisonment for up to 30 years.  Battery can be the use of force or violence against an individual, touching or striking someone against their will or intentionally causing bodily harm to a person.  The threat of force against an individual is considered assault which can also lead to a first degree felony charge.

If you have been charged with burglary and battery, at Hager & Schwartz, P.A., we strongly advise you to not attempt to defend yourself.  A seasoned Miami criminal defense attorney who knows how to effectively defend against such charges should be working closely with you during this trying time.  You deserve such an attorney who will fully review all aspects of your case and devise a defense plan with the intention of having your charges reduced or dismissed.
