Experienced Lawyer for Property Crime Charges
People make mistakes. They also face false allegations of involvement in property crimes, as well as, inflated damage or repair estimates. Regardless of your situation, working with an experienced attorney is the best way to protect your interests in the North Carolina legal system. The state must prove criminal intent to convict on most crimes, including property crimes.
At the DeCurtins Law Firm, in Charlotte, I use more than 25 years of experience to represent people accused of property crimes in North Carolina state courts. I help people facing a wide range of charges:
- Breaking and Entering
- Burglary
- Damage to personal property
- Damage to homes and other real estate
- Arson
- Trespass
- Littering
- All other property crimes
Breaking and Entering
Over the past 25 years, I have represented many clients for misdemeanor and felony Breaking and Entering. This can involve businesses or homes and many times there are Larceny charges added on. It's vital that you discuss the facts of your case with me so that I can determine possible defenses as well as strategy in the courtroom.
Defending People Accused of Trespass
North Carolina statutes recognize different types of trespass. Trespass in the first degree is a class 2 misdemeanor. It can happen when a person trespasses in another's building or on premises that are clearly marked to keep out intruders. Trespass in the second degree is a class 3 misdemeanor that occurs when a person enters property that he (or she) has been told not to enter.
Handling Even the Most Serious Charges
I am well-prepared to handle even the most serious charges. Working closely with my clients I offer representation based on legal knowledge and professional skill. I understand that my clients are often facing challenges in their lives and — while preparing a strong and effective defense to property crime charges — I also make sure that they get the support they need.
An arrest for a property crime can occur at any time of the day or night, so my law firm uses an answering service on evenings and weekends. This means that you can talk with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that I can always be paged in an emergency.
