Arrested for Arson?
Arson is committed when a person intentionally burns almost any kind of structure or building, not just a house or business. Many states recognize differing degrees of arson, based on such factors as whether the building was occupied and whether insurance fraud was intended. We work with experienced Arson Defense law firms in all 50 states.
What is Arson?
Arson is crime that prohibits the burning of someone else’s house, dwelling, or property. Arson laws protect people from having their property burned while they were still inside.
Arson laws cover burning of any type of property. A person can commit arson by burning either homes, personal property, buildings or land. Arson laws exist in all 50 states.
Committing Arson
Intention: Arson is committed if a person intended to burn someone else’s property without their permission. This means you cannot commit arson if you accidentally set a fire.
Recklessness: A person can also commit arson if they damage property as a result of recklessl behavior.
Direct or Indirect: It’s not necessary to directly set fire to a home or property to be convicted of arson. A person can also be convicted of arson if they take actions that indirectly lead to property being burned.
Fire or Explosion: Explosions are also included in arson laws in most states. This means that if a person uses an explosive force to cause damage they can also be convicted of arson even if the damage is from debris from an explosion and not from a set fire.
Property Damage: To be convicted of arson it must be shown that a person’s actions led to someone property becoming fire damaged.
Prison: Arson is a felony and arson charges can lead to lengthy prison sentences. In some states, an arson conviction can bring life imprisonment if a fire is set with intent to harm or kill a person.
Have You Been Charged With Arson?
When people are charged with a crime they face the prospect of incarceration. Ultimately that can bring with it probation and parole, large fines, forced registration with law enforcement, and perhaps most damaging, a record that severely hinders even the most rehabilitated – sometimes for the rest of their lives.
What’s worse is that the damage can extend even to the accused’s family in many ways. Finally, where a crime has been perpetrated the accused must acknowledge the damage that may have been done to any innocent victim. While we don’t claim the ability to undo harms already done, we are here to provide finest and most ethical legal defense you’ll find anywhere.
