Arson

Fighting For You.

The definition of arson has expanded over the years. Arson traditionally referred to the deliberate burning of a person’s home or dwelling. Now the term arson encompasses the deliberate burning of any property, buildings, or land. And this is regardless of whether people are inhabiting the building or not.

Arson charges vary upon degree ranging from first degree to fifth degree, fifth being the least significant in terms of penalty and danger. While a first degree charge of arson could potentially include something as severe as burning a car with an individual inside of it. In the more serious arson charges, other crimes are likely to accompany the charge.
