Burglary DETERMINED TO FIGHT FOR YOU

Honolulu Burglary Attorney

My Goal is To Provide the Best Defense Possible

Burglary is the crime of breaking and entering a structure to commit an illegal act, usually theft. While the structure is usually a house or building, it can also be mobile property like a house or boat. To convict a person of burglary, the prosecution must show that the suspect knowingly entered a building without the owner's consent and intended to commit a criminal act.

If you have been charged with burglary or any other type of larceny, then get in touch with my firm, the Law Office of Steve Cedillos. My goal is to provide my clients with the best possible legal defense so that they can obtain favorable results. I have been practicing law as a Honolulu criminal defense lawyer for over three decades, so you can be confident in my ability to handle your case as well.

Penalties for Theft Crime in Hawaii

There are two types of burglary with which a person may be charged in Honolulu. The lesser charge, burglary in the second degree is a class C felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. The burglary charge may be elevated to first degree if the suspect did any of the following:

  • Used a dangerous weapon
  • Caused injury
  • Disregarded the safety of a home

Burglary in the first degree incurs penalties of a Class B felony, punishable by up to 10 years in jail and fines of up to $25,000. Those who are charged with burglary are also often charged with criminal trespassing, which is unlawful entry of someone else's property. Trespassing is usually a misdemeanor offense.

    "This guy was awesome"
    This guy was awesome, he spoke to me for about thirty minutes and told me that I probably didn’t need his services. He could have charged me anyway so I appreciate that.

    "Would I hire him again? Absolutely."
    I hired Steve for a child custody case in 2021. I see all the reviews that say he is "mean" or "rude" - I would say that he is just blunt and straightforward. He isn't going to get your hopes up just to preserve your feelings. Great guy. he is willing to answer your questions before you even hire him and you can bet that he's honest. Do I think that a 5k retainer was a lot for my case? Yes, but it IS Hawaii and I did hire him 2 months before my actual trial date after going pro-se for a while. Would I hire him again? Absolutely.

    "Steve Cedillos is definitely worth it."
    Steve Cedillos is definitely worth it. He’s very straightforward and gets the job done! Helped me get a TRO I probably wouldn’t have been able to do alone. Navigating the justice system isn’t easy, but his help made it so much easier along with a great outcome!! Thankful and grateful I came across him on Google. He was very responsive anytime I needed to reach him. Highly recommended.
