Arson

Arson is the act of intentionally burning any type of structure, such as a building or home. Arson generally also includes the burning of forest land or brush.

The severity of an arson charge and punishment generally depends on such factors as whether buildings were burned, whether they were occupied and whether insurance fraud was involved. As a general rule, more severe fire damage generally results in more aggressive prosecution with more severe penalties.

Arson charges are taken very seriously and typically involve prison terms and high bail amounts -- or even no bail amounts. Arson can result in multiple counts depending on the number of structures involved and can lead to other more serious charges such as murder and insurance fraud depending on the damage inflicted. The stakes are higher in violent crimes than in almost any other type of criminal charges.

Arson is both a state and federal crime. It is important to know whether you are facing state or federal charges, as this will require a different defense team and strategy. Federal criminal charges typically put you up against a larger and more experienced prosecution team and carry severe mandatory prison sentences.

Defense!

One of the keys to a successful violent crime defense is pre-trial investigation. Effective investigation can uncover prosecution missteps, identify exculpatory evidence and allow the use of tools such as polygraph tests. An effective defense team will obtain access to the crime team and bring its own private arson investigators to the case.

The prosecution has experienced investigators whose job it is to build a case against you while providing you the services of an overburdened public defender to save your life.

Defending against arson criminal charges requires thorough pre-trial investigation that can add reasonable doubt to the prosecution's case. We prepare every case for trial . We will not rush to plea your rights away.

Mounting a defense requires a defense team, not just a single attorney. Prosecutors generally do not pursue cases that they don't feel they can prove in trial. This is why it is critical to dig even deeper into your case than the prosecution and inject the reasonable doubt that will let you win in the courtroom if necessary.

At LibertyBell Law Group, we have assembled a team of criminal defense trial attorneys with experience defending against violent crime charges.
