Serious Offense: Serious Defense
In Oklahoma, arson is charged as a felony, which means your life or your loved one’s life could seriously change for the worse with a conviction and prison. From the moment of your arrest, the prosecution is building a case against you. A Tulsa Arson Defense Attorney at the Tulsa Criminal Defense Law Firm can help you fight for your legal rights.
Just because you have been arrested doesn’t mean you don’t have legal rights that need to be met. That’s why you need a Tulsa Arson Defense Lawyer who can provide skillful, aggressive and compassionate assistance to your specific case.
Oklahoma Arson Charge
There are four classes of arson that a prosecutor could use to bring charges against a person. The most serious charge is for first-degree arson, Okla. Stat. tit. 21 § 56-1401, in which a jury will look to see if a person willfully and maliciously set fire or burns, or by use of any explosive device along with a few other elements to cause damage. If convicted, a person could face upwards of 35 years in prison.
If a firefighter or other emergency personnel life is endangered by the arson, there could be additional charges filed. That could mean more fines and prison time. A Tulsa Arson Defense Attorney at our firm will review the case before you and answer any questions you might have about the charge.
