Arson is a crime that is notoriously difficult to prove. Evidence is often destroyed in the fire — or if it is found, there is often much room for debate as to whether it proves the case for the prosecution. Expert witnesses are often called upon to testify as to the likely cause of the fire.
Are you under investigation under suspicion of arson in connection with a fire that destroyed your home or business property? Is the insurance company denying your claim while investigating whether you set the fire on purpose in order to collect on your fire insurance policy? In a tight real estate market, arson of this type is not uncommon. An honest person who suffers property loss to fire then becomes a target of investigation. If this describes your predicament after a fire that damaged property belonging to you or someone else (perhaps a neighbor or business competitor), contact the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, P.A., to schedule a consultation.
The sooner you are represented by an experienced, knowledgeable and accomplished criminal defense lawyer, the greater opportunities there will be to defend you vigorously. From the time of the first phone conversation with an insurance claims representative, we encourage you to obtain legal counsel to protect you from unfounded allegations.
