Burglary Defence Solicitors in Coventry
At Askews Legal LLP, our experienced burglary solicitors defend clients across Coventry and Warwickshire who have been arrested, charged, or are under investigation for burglary. Whether the offence involves a residential or commercial property, we can provide the expert legal guidance you need.
Understanding Burglary Allegations
Burglary is defined under section 9 of the Theft Act 1968. It covers situations where someone enters a building as a trespasser with intent to steal, cause damage, or inflict GBH—or where the person actually commits such acts once inside. Aggravated burglary, which involves carrying a weapon, carries much heavier penalties.
We will review CCTV evidence, forensic reports, and witness testimony to build a robust defence. Our priority is always to secure the best outcome, whether through negotiating a lesser charge, obtaining a favourable sentence, or challenging the evidence entirely.

How do I know Askews Legal LLP is a reputable, talented law firm?
Our claims of excellent client service and best in class legal advice and representation are supported by our investment in legal accreditations, exceptional client reviews, and case studies. We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and hold a Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society of England and Wales, which demonstrates our commitment to client care, meticulous case management, the continual growth and development of our staff, and investment in technology.
Can you take on my case?
We serve clients based in Rugby and across Warwickshire and Coventry. For certain legal matters, we can offer a free 30-minute consultation to new clients. This helps us establish whether or not your case is something we can advise and represent you on. We have a professional duty to be scrupulously honest, meaning you can trust that if we feel pursuing legal action is not in your best interests, we will tell you so. Furthermore, if we do not have the expertise to take on your case or there is a conflict of interest, we will refer you to another law firm.
How much do your services cost?
All SRA regulated law firms are required to be open and transparent about pricing. For some legal matters, such as conveyancing transactions, we can offer a Fixed Fee. Please view our Fees Page for information about our pricing.
