Minneapolis Burglary Defense Attorney

Have you been charged with burglary?

Burglary is the crime of entering a structure such as a home or business, with the intention to steal something. Burglary can be charged as:

• Burglary in the first degree
• Burglary in the second degree
• Burglary in the third degree
• Burglary in the fourth degree

The severity of the charges will depend on the type of structure that was entered, such as a government building, bank, school or pharmacy; if a tool was used to enter the building, if a deadly weapon was used during the commission of the crime and whether or not there was someone in the building when the burglary was committed.
