Experienced California Criminal Defense Lawyers

Arson is the crime of deliberately, willfully and maliciously setting fire to a building, buildings, house or property of another, or the burning of your own property for the purpose of committing fraud. Arson is also often committed in the attempt to cover up another crime or murder. Motivation behind this act may include: retaliation for unpaid debts, domestic violence issues, or by a minor out of anger and frustration. Financial gain is the main reason behind most arson investigations in Southern California. Individuals are looking to commit insurance fraud in an attempt to erase a debt and obtain money to start over.
