Why Burglary Defense Matters
— And Who Will Handle Your Case

Under Florida law, burglary does not always involve breaking into a locked building. Charges may arise from entering or remaining in a home, business, garage, or vehicle without permission — even if no force was used. In some cases, allegations involve entering an open structure or remaining after permission was withdrawn.

More serious allegations, such as burglary with a battery, can significantly increase potential penalties. James Davis is a Jacksonville criminal defense attorney who personally handles every burglary case he accepts. He examines the facts, intent, and circumstances of the alleged entry to identify defenses and pursue the best possible outcome.

What Happens After a Burglary Arrest in Florida

After a burglary arrest, prosecutors often rely heavily on initial police reports and assumptions about intent. Burglary charges can be elevated quickly based on allegations involving confrontation, property damage, or other factors.

Failing to address these issues early can limit defense options. Early legal representation allows evidence, witness statements, and intent-related issues to be examined before charges are finalized or enhanced.

James got the charges completely dropped for both my husband and I, no parole, no probation, no court fees, we didn't even have to appear at either of our hearings! We just paid him, and he completely took care of us worry free! Thank you James & Anna!!!

I recently called Mr Davis's office to see if they could help with a Drivers License issue that they could help me with. I spoke with Ms. Anna Beyer the Office Manager, she took my information and said she would do some research and get back with me later in that day or the next day. The next day she called me back and gave me all the information and emailed the forms that I needed to send to the Florida DMV. She was Professional and personable. She also did not charge for her services. I would highly reccomend the Law Office should you the services of a criminal attorney.
