Despite the fact that it may seem hopeless and like there are no viable solutions, there are options. You may rely on Law Office of Michael L. Fell to defend you if you've been charged with arson. Be aware that Attorney Fell formerly served as a senior deputy district attorney for Orange County.

He was the prosecutor for arson at that office while he held that position. In reality, he created the Arson Manuals that are still in use at the DA's office and trained others in the office. He is adept at defending you against the district attorney's arson allegations, to put it briefly.

In response to an arson charge, you have several defenses

Your criminal defense lawyer may advise one of several possible defense strategies. The charges you are facing as well as your criminal past will determine which one of those is best for your requirements. The ideal scenario would be for us to claim that the fire was accidental or that there is insufficient proof that you were somehow engaged in the incident. The charges might ultimately be completely withdrawn as a result.

However, if there is a lot of evidence against you, we might try to negotiate the best plea agreement. One illustration would be to demonstrate to the prosecution that while you did start the fire, your actions were not malicious. We can try to demonstrate to them that you were simply acting carelessly. If this happens, the charge might be changed from a felony to a misdemeanor. This not only guarantees a shorter sentence but also preserves the possibility of future expungement.
