Skilled Representation in Michigan Criminal Defense Matters
We represent Michigan clients during the investigations process, after arrest and arraignment, during pre-trial states, and throughout the trial process. State law is meticulous in describing burglary and other theft crimes, and it provides very serious penalties for a conviction.
States vary on what conduct constitutes burglary; in Michigan, burglary is covered under breaking and entering and home invasion statutes. In these cases, there must be some sort of force used to enter the home or structure. What you do inside a structure and the type of building are key to the crime.
A conviction for first degree home invasion could lead to 20 years in jail and $5,000 fine.
