Re: I need help

Your daughter faces very serious charges in First Degree Arson. That is a felony charge and carries a potential significant jail term.

Your daughter should have an initial arraignment within a few days of her arrest where she can enter her initial plea and set bail.

It is hard to judge the charges against your daughter without reviewing the evidence against her.

My office handles criminal matters, if you'd like to contact my office to set an appointment call my office at your convenience.

Best Regards,
