Burglary

In Arizona, burglary is a criminal offense that involves unlawfully entering or remaining in a structure or vehicle with the intent to commit a theft or felony. Burglary is divided into three degrees:

1. Third-Degree Burglary: This occurs when a person unlawfully enters or remains in any non-residential structure like a business or warehouse, a fenced yard, or a vehicle.
2. Second-Degree Burglary: This occurs when a person unlawfully enters or remains in any residential structure like a home or apartments.
3. First Degree Burglary: This occurs when a person commits one of the above offenses and is carrying a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.

Depending on the circumstances of the offense, the most serious type of burglary can carry a potential sentence of 3 to 12.5 years for first-time offenders.

Additionally, aggravated assault convictions may result in other consequences such as probation, fines, and restitution, which can impact future opportunities.

It's essential to seek legal advice from a qualified criminal defense attorney if facing aggravated assault charges in Arizona. An attorney can provide guidance on potential defenses, negotiate with prosecutors, and advocate for the best possible outcome given the circumstances of the case.
