ARSON
We have two attorneys who are each certified by the Supreme Court of NJ as a criminal trial attorney. Call us for our extraordinary level of experience and recognized expertise!
The law defines arson as intentionally setting a house, store, building or vehicle on fire. However, this serious crime can also result from setting grass or trees on fire. The consequences of an arson conviction can include the following:
- Prison time
- Lengthy probation
- Loss of insurance
- Denied entry into certain drug, alcohol and/or psychiatric care programs
Some arson convictions require that 85 percent of the sentence be served without parole. Because arson cases frequently require scientific evidence, it is very important for those facing these charges to have a knowledgeable firm like Helmer, Paul, Conley & Kasselmam, P.A. representing them. We have frequently avoided convictions for those charged with this serious crime or urged the state to reduce arson charges to a lesser offense, such as criminal mischief.
Call us at 856-547-7888 for an appointment. Initial consultations are free.
