What is Home Invasion in the first degree?

First degree Home Invasion is the most serious version of this offense. This law replaced common law burglary, giving some clear definitions and making the law easier for prosecutors to apply. This is a felony with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison or a fine of up to $5,000.00, or both.

Prosecutors must prove the following beyond a reasonable doubt for a conviction to result:

First, the defendant either

Breaks and enters a dwelling, OR
Enters a dwelling without permission.

Second, the defendant either

Intends when entering to commit a felony, larceny, or assault in the dwelling, OR
At any time while entering, present in, or exiting the dwelling commits a felony, larceny, or assault.

Third, while the defendant is entering, present in, or exiting the dwelling, either

The defendant is armed with a dangerous weapon or
Another person is lawfully present in the dwelling.

We Can Help. Aggressive Legal Representation You Can Trust.

As with any serious felony case, it is crucial to have experienced lawyers who are highly trained at finding factual and legal defenses to the charges. We thoroughly analyze the evidence in every client’s case.

Most clients charged with Home Invasion have a story to tell. The details of that story are extremely important because it often suggests a possible defense to the charge. Because of the nature of the crime, there are often problems with the investigation that can be exploited. We carefully look at

Police Misconduct in the investigation
The Motivation of witnesses, especially of co-defendants
Constitutional violations at the time of arrest and detention
Miranda violation
Search Warrant violation
Faulty line-up and eyewitness identification practices

Our attorneys are trained to find defenses that you might not think of. If your rights were violated during the investigation, the arrest, or the detention, that could be a very important part of your overall defense.
