Houston Arson Defense Attorney

Have you been charged with arson? Whether the allegations involve careless burning that resulted in a serious wildfire or intentionally using explosives to burn down public or private property, arson charges are a very serious matter that demand representation from an experienced defense lawyer.

At the Law Offices of Steven Rocket Rosen, I provide clients in the Houston area, and throughout Texas, with aggressive and seasoned criminal defense representation. I put my nearly 30 years of experience — including 6 years as a prosecutor — to use in preparing a solid defense strategy. Contact me to schedule your free confidential consultation.

I defend clients accused of all types of arson, including:

  • Homeowner's insurance related fires: purposely burning down your own home for the purpose of recovering insurance payments for fire damage
  • Wildfire arson: negligently or recklessly burning garbage or starting a campfire that ignites a wildfire or causes other property damage
  • Church fires: intentionally starting a fire or setting off an explosion in a church or other place of worship
  • Other arson charges: intentionally starting a fire can be charged as arson even if the fire goes out or is extinguished before any fire damage results

Avoid Serious Penalties for Arson

Most arson cases are charged as second degree felonies that can result in a jail term of anywhere from 2 to 20 years in prison. However, in cases where the fire resulted in the injury or death of another person, or if it was a church fire, the offense is considered a first degree felony — which can result in a life sentence.

As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, I know what is at stake for my clients. That is precisely why I am determined to provide each client with aggressive representation and a strong defense strategy. With my extensive experience and negotiation skills, I am frequently able to negotiate a favorable plea arrangement with the prosecutor. However, I am also willing to take any arson case involving adults or juveniles to trial if that is what it will take to protect their rights, their freedom and their future.
