Burglary Defense Attorney Lawrenceville

Q: My little cousins was arrested the other day. One of them was charged with burglary and obstruction and the other was just charged with obstruction. The story is that they tried to break into a house and the neighbor called the police and when they arrived (they never entered the house)they ran while running they supposely threw a knife they were carring and one of my cousins was caught and took back to the house and 3 witness said they saw him and he was charged with Burglary. My other cousin got away but later the police came to his house and got him but due to the fact he got away the witness didnt have the chance to point him out so he was just charged with obstruction. The police questioned them about the Burglary and another burglary that happened the previous day in the same neighborhood so they are taking prints on the knife which im sure both of there prints will come up on and they said they had nothing to do with the crime or the burglary the day before and was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. They are both out on Bond right now, they are 17 and its there first offense. what is the most likely honest outcome of this situation? And how long before a court date and what will happen with the knife thing?(i heard its bad to have a weapon during a Burglary)is there still a chance my cousin who got away can still be bought up the burglary? we are in Georgia

A: How do you think the cousin that got away was identified? The cousin that was caught told on him. When they get indicted by the grand jury, they will both be indicted for burglary and possession of tools for the commission of a crime. What will happen to them is a function of what they are doing while they are on bond. Shcool and community service equals probation. Hanging out, smoking marijuana and not school equals jail time. Good luck.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
