You were walking around and you were arrested for first degree burglary? First, you absolutely need an experienced attorney who handles criminal defense. This is a CLASS B FELONY. You could be facing five years! My firm has a focus in this area and I cannot tell you how many times we have seen unrepresented parties make avoidable mistakes that have serious consequences on their lives. Second, there is more to this story. I would be interested in hearing more details. Please contact me if I can offer further advice or assistance 203.870.6700
