If your dad told you he didn't want you in his house, it probably doesn't matter if you still had a key from before the time he said that.  You would still be trespassing, and he might still be within his rights to call the police.  But there are situations where you might be found not guilty.  It all depends on the facts, the details.

If you're being charged with an offense in this case, you need a lawyer.  One place to find an attorney, who can make the best use of the unique facts presented here, is our website, http://attorneypages.com
