Burglary 

Burglary Defense Attorney in Newark, Delaware

A conviction on burglary charges may have a drastic impact on your life and future. If you are convicted of residential burglary, for example, you are looking at a minimum mandatory prison sentence of at least one year. This type of mark on your criminal record may make it possible for any future charges or convictions to leave you vulnerable to severe punishments that take into account the past conviction. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney, knowledgeable in dealing with burglary charges, to adequately defend your rights

At my firm, the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, I am committed to helping clients understand their rights and aggressively stand up for their freedom. Don't attempt to talk your way out of the charges; the police want you to talk and make a statement that may be later used to discredit other statements you have made. Anything you say will be used against you, so remain silent and contact us as soon as possible. Once I represent you, all communication by the police or prosecution must go through me, and I can ensure you rights are protected.

There are many variations on burglary charges. Some of the types of terms you may hear regarding your case include:

• Breaking and entering a building or home
• Burglary of a habitation
• Property crimes
• Theft case

No matter how you are charged, it is important that you take these burglary charges seriously. Whether you are a first time or repeat offender, I use my knowledge and experience in order to realistically assess the possibilities in the case and explain the options with the highest likelihood of success.

One important issue in a burglary case is intent. With eight years experience as a former prosecutor, I am able to examine and analyze the facts of your case and help you understand how prosecutions characterization of your "intent" may not be supported by the evidence of the case. If the facts and evidence fail to prove your intent, it may be possible to have the charges dismissed or reduced.
