Allegations of criminal damage or arson can vary greatly in seriousness. The alleged intention, extent of damage and risk to others are among the issues your solicitor will consider.
Matters we can help with
- Criminal damage
- Arson
- Allegations of endangering life
- Related threats and attempts
How we can support you
We can consider witness accounts, forensic reports, ownership issues and other material. Advice covers the investigation, court process and preparation of a defence or mitigation as appropriate.
Before your first discussion
Keep the police documents and tell the solicitor about any photographs, recordings or records that may be relevant. Avoid entering or altering a scene that is under investigation.
Your funding options
Legal aid may be available, subject to the relevant eligibility criteria. Private funding can also be discussed. We will explain the proposed work and funding arrangements before you decide to instruct us.
