Charged with Arson in New Jersey?

Arson is the intentional burning of another's property and is a serious charge involving stiff prison sentences.  The length of sentence depends on whether persons were hurt in the fire and extent of damage.  The other caveat is where a person sets fire to his home to collect insurance money.  If you have been charged with arson in Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, or Essex County, you need to obtain effective legal representation without delay.  You are urged to contact a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer experienced in criminal defense, like Rafael Gomez.
