Michigan Breaks The Crime Of Home Invasion Into Three Different Degrees As Follows:
First-Degree Home Invasion
This specific home invasion offense is the most serious. The prosecutor must prove that you broke and entered into a home of another without permission with the intent to commit an assault, larceny, or a felony once inside. You can also be charged with this offense if, at any time during the entry or exit, another person is lawfully present in the home or dwelling or you’re armed with a deadly weapon. This is a 20-year felony with fines up to $5,000.
Second-Degree Home Invasion
Second-degree home invasion is committed when a person breaks and enters a home or dwelling with the intent to commit, or actually does commit, an assault, larceny, or a felony. This is a 15-year felony and carries fines up to $3,000.00.
To distinguish second-degree from first-degree home invasion, it’s important to remember that a second-degree charge doesn’t require or involve the use of a deadly weapon.
Third-Degree Home Invasion
Third-degree home invasion is committed when a person breaks and enters a home or dwelling with the intent to commit, or actually does commit, a misdemeanor once inside. This is a five-year felony and carries fines up to $2,000.00.
Our team of criminal defense attorneys will aggressively defend your case and will carefully evaluate all possible defenses, such as reasonable doubt, mistaken identity, alibi, and authorization to be on the property.

Reviews From Our Clients
Bryan Smith
Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!
Leng T.
Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.
Kelly M.
I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!
Thomas Smale
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’s knowledge in the future.
