Know Your Rights

What is Burglary?

Burglary is the act of breaking and entering into a structure with the intent of stealing property or committing another felony offense. You may be charged with a first-degree felony if the burglary offense occurred inside of someone’s home. If the offense occurred on commercial property, you will likely be charged with a second-degree felony.

What is Robbery? Is it different from Burglary? 

Robbery is defined as the taking of property against an individual’s will, by means of fear or force. Robbery offenses are also referred to as “muggings” or “stickups.” Unlike robbery offenses, a burglary offense does not require a confrontation between parties. In order to be convicted of burglary, the prosecutor is only required to prove that the defendant entered the structure with the intent of committing a felony.

The Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for police and prosecutors to file charges against you in court for a misdemeanor burglary offense is one year. The statute of limitations for a felony burglary offense is three years. However, dependent upon the specific circumstances of your case, there may be additional factors that can affect the statute of limitations. We advise you to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. We can inform you of your rights and legal options.
