St Louis Felony Second 2nd Degree Burglary

Only $750 for Most Low Level St Louis Felonies

The state of Missouri can charge you with Burglary in the Second Degree if you “knowingly enter” a building or habitable structure “for the purpose of committing a crime therein”. In essence, there is two parts to this crime: 1) unlawfully entering in the building; and 2) doing so with the purpose of committing some sort of crime once you are inside. Mo Stat. 569.170.1

This sort of crime is described as a Class C Felony in St Louis. The court can therefore for potentially sentence you to up to seven (7) years of jail and a $5,000 fine.

But just because the state has leveled this charge against you does not mean that you are in fact guilty of the crime. The state (i.e. the prosecutor) has the job of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that each of the two elements listed above occurred. If the state cannot do so, then the charge cannot stick.

Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!

This is why it is so very important to make use of a good, experienced St Louis criminal defense lawyer to help you out!! If you were to try and navigate the criminal justice system on your own (without the aid of legal counsel), then you are risking a great deal. Indeed, the prosecutor would treat you the same as if he/she were dealing with an actual attorney (in other words, they would not show you any special treatment just because you are not licensed to practice law).

I've used this firm twice, both for speeding tickets. Both times it was zero hassle: just a matter of giving them the ticket. I've also recommended them to my friends, who have had the same experience. (My friends and I speed a lot.) Highly recommended. I'm sure I'll be back. David Rieken
