Vigorous, Resourceful Advocacy When Your Future Is on the Line
Under Florida law, any allegations involving entering someone's home without consent can be very serious. If authorities claim the home was occupied and a weapon or force was involved, the charge is likely to elevate a "burglary" to "home-invasion robbery" — a first-degree felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison. This charge is treated more harshly than burglary and far more severely than trespassing, breaking-and-entering or other theft. Burglary sentences are determined by the type of structure entered and the individual's intent.
