Burglary and Theft Offenses
Pittsburgh Burglary & Theft Defense Lawyer
Legal Defense for Burglary and Theft Charges
The potential penalties for burglary and theft charges depend on several factors. What was the value of the property stolen? Was violence or a weapon used in the commission of the burglary or robbery? Is it a first offense?
If you have been arrested for burglary (also known as breaking and entering), robbery, or retail theft, get early legal advice. With help from an experienced criminal defense attorney, you can better understand the criminal justice process — as well as your options to minimize the potential negative consequences.
Farrell Weaver & Okun, Attorneys at Law: Decades of Criminal Law Experience
Our own office building is located on Banksville Road, minutes from downtown Pittsburgh and the Allegheny County Courthouse. We have free parking in our private lot. We have decades of experience in criminal law.
Thomas N. Farrell began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office and later served as a Deputy Attorney General in the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office.
With an advanced understanding of how to construct a criminal case against a defendant, our attorneys now work on behalf of criminal defendants to build a strong defense — to minimize the negative consequences of an arrest or conviction for all types of misdemeanor and felony crimes, including burglary, robbery, and theft.
Attacking an Arrest for Theft or Burglary
Depending on the seriousness of the charges, we will present you with various defense strategies. For first-time misdemeanor offenses such as shoplifting or retail theft, an alternative disposition may be available to keep your criminal record clean and prevent a jail sentence.
For more serious charges, your attorneys will examine the allegations against you and work to protect your constitutional rights regarding searches and seizures of property, identification line-ups, police interviews, and admission of evidence.
