Working with Our New York City Criminal Defense Lawyer

Arson is considered a felony under federal law and may involve federal agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). If the fire took place on federal property, or if the alleged arson involves any area of interstate commerce or trade it is considered a federal matter and will be investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

To be convicted, it must be proven that you started a fire that:

• Damaged a residence
• Damaged a building where people are likely present
• Damaged any builidng you believed people would be present in

When facing federal crimes charges, you need an attorney that will not only go above and beyond the expected, but has the actual on-the-ground experience to pursue a favorable case outcome.
