ToggleIn California, burglary is a type of theft crime when a person enters any room, building, or locked vehicle intending to commit a felony once inside. Unlike more typical theft crimesātypically charged as misdemeanorsāburglary could put you at risk of felony sentencing, leading to devastating consequences.
If you were charged with this crime, it is crucial that you avoid the potential fines and jail time by calling the Los Angeles burglary lawyers at Gibbons & Gibbons for a free consultation about how to defend yourself.

The sentence for a conviction of burglary will depend on the circumstances of the crime itself, but it will be treated as either a first or second degree felony. Entering a home or other domicile with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny is grounds for a first degree charge. A conviction can carry up to six years in prison with additional fines. If you are facing such charges, it is crucial to consult a skilled burglary lawyer. Entering a building in order to commit a felony is a second degree crime and can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, putting you at risk of a year or more in jail.
