Florida Burglary Defense Lawyer

According to Florida Statute 810.02, Jacksonville burglary occurs when a person entered a dwelling, structure, or conveyance that was owned by or in the possession of another and had the intent to commit a crime in the dwelling, structure, or conveyance.  Florida burglary is a felony in Jacksonville.  Depending on the circumstances surrounding this Jacksonville crime, burglary can be a first, second, or third degree felony under Florida law.  If the Jacksonville burglary is committed towards a structure or conveyance, such as a car or a store (not a dwelling), this is a third-degree felony.  If a Jacksonville Criminal Defendant is accused of breaking into a house, this is burglary to a dwelling in Florida.  If that occurs, the accused may be charged with a first or second degree misdemeanor.  If the house was empty, this is Florida Burglary to an Unoccupied Dwelling, which is a second-degree misdemeanor.  However, if there was someone in the house at the time the Jacksonville Criminal Defendant broke into the home, this is Florida Burglary to an Occupied Dwelling.
