Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Penalties for Burglary in Rockingham County?

Burglaries are prosecuted as felonies in New Hampshire, with possible prison time, probation, and fines depending on the circumstances. Penalties can be especially severe if the offense involves a dwelling or if someone was present at the time of the alleged incident.

How Does a Burglary Charge Differ from Trespassing?

Burglary typically involves entering a building with the intent to commit a crime inside, while trespassing covers entry without permission but without additional criminal intent. The distinction is important for defense strategy and potential outcomes.

Will I Go to Jail If Convicted of Burglary?

Many burglary convictions can result in jail or prison, but alternative sentencing, suspended sentences, or probation may be possible, especially for first offenses or nonviolent situations. Every case depends on unique facts and local court practices.

Can Felony Burglary Charges Be Reduced or Dismissed?

Charges can be reduced or dismissed in some cases, depending on the strength of the prosecution’s evidence and legal motions filed. We evaluate each case for every possible defense or alternative outcome.
