Defenses Against Burglary Charges
Mounting a successful defense against burglary charges requires an in-depth case analysis. Our experienced Dutchess County burglary lawyers employ a variety of defense strategies to protect your rights:
- Lack of Intent: Demonstrating that there was no intent to commit a crime within the premises can weaken the prosecution's case.
- False Accusations: Unraveling the possibility of false accusations is crucial, as mistaken identity or ulterior motives may be at play.
- Insufficient Evidence: Challenging the prosecution's evidence and ensuring it meets the legal standards required for a conviction is a pivotal aspect of our defense strategy.
- Fourth Amendment Violations: Examining whether law enforcement conducted a lawful search and seizure is crucial, as evidence obtained through unconstitutional means may be deemed inadmissible.
- Alibi: Establishing a strong alibi can undermine the prosecution's timeline of events and cast doubt on the charges.

I am extremely thankful for having received the best representation from my attorney Kristen D. Farris for a temporary order of protection case against my soon to be ex-husband. Everything went so smooth with her amazing expertise and professionalism. In the court, she took charge right away and everything was just so well. I was so relieved! The outcome of the case was perfect and the case settled without any issues. I had no chance to stress! Finally, the office staff was so friendly and the communication, which was mostly through e-mail, was perfect. I am looking forward to working with Kristen with the next steps of getting a divorce. God answered my prayer when I asked for a great attorney :) I was so nervous but thankfully everything went so well!!!

"I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process."I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process. And all in the midst of a pandemic that made everything more complicated. Kristen and her team’s legal advice was consistently spot on, the office’s communication was regular and helpful, and their billing was fair and understandable. You won’t be disappointed in them!- A.B.
