Burglary Attorneys in Douglas County

Are You Facing Burglary Charges in West Georgia?

An individual is committing a burglary when he or she illegally enters into another person's home or property with the intent to commit a criminal act. A burglary charge does not, however, require that anything be taken from the property, it simply involves the breaking and entering without explicit consent.

While most burglaries happen in homes or other private residences, a burglary can also occur at an office, restaurant, or place of business. In addition, theft crimes are not the only crimes associated with burglaries. Some burglaries occur for the purpose of committing sex crimes or violent crimes.

In some instances, people have been led to believe that pleading guilty to a burglary charge would be in their best interest. That is not necessarily true. Due to the fact that most burglaries involve the commission of an additional crime, anyone who is arrested or charged with burglary can expect to face hefty fines, extensive jail or prison time, be subject to long periods of community service, probation, and other repercussions.
