With a serious burglary conviction, you could face 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. Trespassing can sometimes be a misunderstanding. People sometimes forget badges, keys or do not see any signs barring them from being on public property. Trespassing is not looked upon very highly by employers, landlords or other entities checking your record.
Stipulated Order of Continuance

One creative way that Parker Law fights trespassing charges is by reaching a resolution with the prosecutor called a Stipulated Order of Continuance (SOC). An SOC is an agreement between you and the Prosecutor where the case is continued for an agreed amount of time, usually one or two years. During the continuance you must have law abiding behavior and will sometimes have to do community service or take a class related to the crime. After the agreed amount of time, your case is dismissed.

The main benefit of the SOC is that your case is ultimately dismissed and there is no jail time involved.

Parker Law will work to humanize you and expose any constitutional or procedural issues to the Prosecutor in order to potentially reach this resolution or one that is favorable to you.

Parker Law recently achieved an SOC for a client in Tacoma Municipal Court. The client merely had to stay out of trouble for a brief period of time and the case was dismissed.
