Trespassing

San Diego Trespassing Criminal Defense Attorney

Privacy is a top priority when looking to purchase or rent a property. These properties may be where you will live with your family, or if for business purposes, where you will conduct your business operations and safeguard important investments and assets. Individuals who don’t have a valid reason or right to be on the properties you own or rent must respect your privacy and refrain from trespassing to avoid any disturbances in your personal space.

However, some choose not to follow the rules and violate someone else’s privacy by trespassing onto their properties without obtaining consent. Even when confronted about their actions, they may still refuse to leave the property and persist in harassing you, your family, and your business. Fortunately, there are laws in place for trespassers. If you want to have your San Diego criminal trespass case heard and adjudicated in court, you can work with our San Diego Trespassing Criminal Defense Lawyer at Lee Law Group DUI & Criminal Attorneys to get started.

We can help you analyze your case and identify the best legal strategy to get the offenders punished for their actions. Clients are guaranteed to receive a personalized legal service from us because we know that each case varies and not one specific strategy will work for all. Our criminal defense team is also ready to help you if you find yourself charged or accused of committing criminal trespassing.

Definition of Criminal Trespassing in California

Trespassing is defined in California as remaining or going on someone else’s property without consent or the right to do so. The Penal Code further elaborates its definition of trespassing by identifying over thirty activities that count as criminal trespassing.

These are some of the acts included in the list:

Entering another person’s property with the intention of damaging it
Entering another person’s property with the intention to interfere with the business operations in the facility
Occupying another person’s property without the owner’s permission
Refusing to leave the property after being asked to do so
Taking dirt, soil, or stone off another person’s “land” without consent

If the act of criminal trespassing was committed with the intention to threaten harm to another person, it will be classified as aggravated or felony trespassing. In California, aggravated trespass is classified as a wobbler or a crime that can be considered a felony or amisdemeanor. The prosecutor can determine the actual charge when they file the case before the court.

Criminal trespassing, as well as aggravated trespassing, can also be connected to other offenses. These are criminal threats, burglary, arson, and vandalism, each having its own respective penalties.

Penalties for Criminal Trespassing

If one is found guilty of criminal trespassing, the penalties depend on the severity of the offense. If it is a criminal trespassing charge, the defendant will face penalties for a misdemeanor and an infraction that matches the acts committed during the crime. For aggravated trespassing, the penalties may vary depending on the charges filed in court and if additional crimes have been committed.
