Our Law Offices have handled countless trespassing cases.

Each Trespassing case is unique and we implemented numerous strategies to fight such charges.

The maximum penalty for trespassing is 30 days in a county house of correction (HOC) and/or a fine of $100.

In order to prove that the Defendant is guilty of Trespassing, the Prosecutor must prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:

  • That, without right, the Defendant entered or remained in a house, building, or boat.
  • That the Defendant was forbidden to enter or to remain there by the person in lawful control of the premises, either directly or by means of a posted notice.

We are often able to file motions to:

  • Dismiss charges for lack of probable cause.
  • Suppress evidence that was obtained through an illegal search and seizure.
  • If you have not been arrested, a motion can be filed to dismiss for failure to provide a show cause hearing.

At other times, the District Attorney and/or police can be convinced to drop the case, or your record may be protected through Pre-Trial Diversion. Depending on your circumstances, we may even negotiate a Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF).

Frequently Asked Questions

View all FAQs

If the police fail to read me my Miranda rights, must the case be dismissed?

No. If you are in custody and answer an officer’s questions without being read your Miranda rights or told you have a right to an attorney or to be silent, then any incriminating statements you make might be suppressed, which means those statements cannot be used against you at trial. However, you can still be convicted on other evidence.

Do I need an attorney?

Generally, if you can afford a lawyer, you should have a lawyer represent you throughout a criminal case, including clerk’s hearings, arraignments, pre-trial conferences, motions and probation surrenders. A lawyer can best protect your rights and help ensure a favorable outcome.
