New Hampshire Burglary Defense Lawyers
If you are accused of burglary, the experienced New Hampshire burglary defense lawyer at Cohen & Winters can help. Under New Hampshire criminal law it is a crime to commit a burglary. Burglary is defined in RSA 635:1 as the unauthorized entering of a building or occupied structure with the intent to commit a crime therein. The underlying crime could be any crime, but it is most commonly alleged to be a theft. Possession of burglary tools is also illegal and can be charged as a misdemeanor.
Burglary is a felony. Whether it is a class A felony or class B felony will depend on numerous factors. It is possible to be convicted of both a burglary and the crime intended to be committed. An example of this is if a defendant breaks into a house with the intent to commit an assault and assaults a person inside the home. He could then be convicted of both the burglary and the assault.
