BURGLARY / THEFT

Burglary can be defined as breaking and entering into a home or place of business and depending on the action it can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Burglary is also known as breaking and entering. It does not matter if it is a business, building, motor vehicle, or a home invasion. If there is intention of committing a crime inside the premises, it is considered to be a burglary.

Robbery can be defined as an action that uses force, violence or assault on the individual that goods, property or money is being stolen from and can carry a sentence of up to 15 years of prison time. In the case that possession of a weapon during commission of crime was used, a sentencing of up to thirty years behind bars can be given to the guilty. Theft crimes are categorized as either petit theft (valued under $300) or grand theft (valued over $300). Depending on where you are based, either a Miami Criminal Defense Lawyer or a Fort Lauderdale Criminal Attorney will be able to inform their clients what they are up against.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The definition of domestic violence is an assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, stalking, kidnapping or any other criminal offense that brings physical injury or death to a family member or someone who is living under the same roof as the individual being charged with domestic violence. Without the help and experience of domestic abuse attorneys the following are very real penalties that can happen, such as not being allowed to be around your family or children, mandated to go to counseling/therapy, and/or being sentenced to time behind bars.

VIOLENT CRIMES

A violent crime is considered to be a criminal offense committed with the use of violence or the threat of using violence. Whether it is aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, kidnapping charges or robbery charges with a firearm your freedom is going to be at risk. In Miami, Florida nothing can tarnish a person’s reputation, finances and overall future worse than facing the violent crime charges, such as murder charges, manslaughter charges, and attempted murder charges. All of these crimes have life-changing punishments that include a life sentence behind bars. Without the help of a veteran violent crime lawyer the outcome of any trial is not likely going to be favorable for the defendant.
