Arson

Given the threat to life and property often involved in arson cases, Los Angeles prosecutors vigorously prosecute defendants accused of arson.

California law prohibits the willful and malicious setting of fire to the property of another.  

However, it also criminalizes recklessly setting fire to the property of another. If you are accused of setting fire to your own property, you can only be convicted if the purpose was fraudulent, as in the case of attempting to collect insurance proceeds, or if the fire injures another person or his or her property.  

Our Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys will stand with you and defend you vigorously. Our office has a combined criminal defense experience of over half a century.  We have represented thousands of criminal defendants since our doors opened in 1987.  Our criminal defense attorneys are former Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, that is, former prosecutors who put their knowledge, experience and skill to work for you.  One of our founding partners, Robert Ernenwein, is a board certified criminal law specialist and "Super Lawyer".  Bruce McGregor, co-founder of our firm, is a former Los Angeles prosecutor and also considered a "Super Lawyer." Lorgio Coimbra, a fluent Spanish-speaker and former immigration attorney, puts his knowledge to work for clients whose immigration status may suffer the complications of a criminal case.
