Burglary Charges Reduced

A Chester County client in his early 20s and several of his friends decided to break into a vacant church and have a party. While intoxicated, the client and his friends broke stained glass windows, overturned benches, and destroyed church property.

The client was charged with burglary, a felony with jail time, and $25,000 in restitution to the church. Attorney Skinner negotiated with the DA in which the charges were reduced to trespassing and criminal mischief, no jail time, and considerably less restitution.
