Arson is defined as the deliberate destruction of property by use of fire or an explosive devise. In many situations the crime of Arson is suspected to be a cover up for a much more serious crime. In other cases, it involves bad judgment by a person who was playing with fire and the situation just got out of hand. Any time a person is charged or suspected of Arson the situation must be treated seriously. You need the representation of an experienced Arson and Criminal Defense Attorney who understands these laws.
When the police have been called into investigate a claim of Arson, there is a high probability that the accused will be arrested and taken to jail. This can result in the loss of ones job, liberty and in many cases family rights. A qualified Criminal Defense Attorney is critical to protect your rights.
Sometime a charge of Arson does not involve burning down a building. It might be something as simple as a young person setting off some firecrackers or bottle rockets. In juvenile cases, the rights of your child need immediate attention. Police are allowed to go to your child’s school and attempt to interview them without your permission. Additionally, once a juvenile is arrested they are not entitled to bail and often will be taken directly to Juvenile Hall. There is a specific process that is designed to protect the rights of a juvenile. This might include programs that are agreed upon to keep the juvenile out of the system all together. Other times it may require a judge and a trial. No matter what the circumstances you should consult with a juvenile defense attorney about your case as soon as possible.
Fire or Police investigators usually focus on the property owner in the case of a suspected Arson. Even if you are not involved or have no information about the fire you should still contact a Criminal Defense Attorney to make sure your rights are properly protected. If you are involved with or have information about a fire, it is critical to contact an attorney as quickly as possible to make sure your rights are protected and the situation does not become worse.
If you have been charged or are under investigation for Arson you will need a skilled criminal defense attorney to fight for your rights. More importantly you will need that attorney right away.
