Phoenix Trespassing Defense Attorney
What are Trespassing Charges?
A criminal trespassing charge entails someone unlawfully entering a house or residence belonging to another person. It can also involve entering vacant land or other property marked "no trespassing". Although it may not sound like a very serious crime, if one enters someone's residence illegally the charge could be a felony, depending on certain circumstances.
Someone convicted of such a crime could face stiff penalties, which can include the following:
- Community Service
- Probation for up to 3 years
- Fines, surcharges and restitution
- Jail sentence in a county jail
- Up to two years in an Arizona State Prison
When facing trespassing charges, involving a lawyer as early in the process as possible is important. Many times a trespassing charge is a simple misunderstanding, where someone may enter property that is not clearly marked or appears vacant. Or a landlord/tenant dispute can result in a tenant accusing a landlord of trespassing. There are many legal strategies our firm can provide you to challenge the charges against you.
