Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: First offense first degree burglary

Don't ask me "What sentence am I going to get." That question has the stench of pessimism and defeat. Instead, ask me "How do I fight these charges and win?"

Re: First offense first degree burglary

You're "looking at" whatever sentence is negotiated between your attorney and the prosecutor, based upon the plea bargain and charge reductions they can reach. If you just want to plead guilty without counsel and take mandatory determinate sentencing, you face several years in jail/prison. Your choice. I'd think you'd want to get an attorney to defend and fight this. If this is in SoCal court, and you're serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.

Re: First offense first degree burglary

You face a maximum of 6 years state prison, plus the misdemeanors. The minimum on the residential burglary charge is 2 years in state prison and it's a strike.

There's no way for me, or any attorney here, to be able to tell you what you're going to get. That depends on the facts of the case, your record (if any), the court, the judge and the DA.

Obviously, the charges are serious, so if you can afford to do so, you need a good criminal defense attorney to help you with your situation.
