Facing Home Invasion charges in Northern Illinois? Contact Harter & Schottland for a free one on one consultation

A conviction for Home Invasion charge can have consequences that last long after you serve your sentence. Home Invasion involves knowingly entering someone’s home without authority and intentionally committing a crime in the dwelling. It is important to realize that Illinois has specific Home Invasion statutes. Committing a home burglary when the occupants are present is considered Home Invasion, and is usually punished more severely than other burglaries. Using a weapon during a home invasion will result in even greater criminal penalties.
