Wildfire season in Wisconsin is drawing to a close. The season started off with more fires than usual after a particularly warm winter and, as of today, nearly 900 wildfires have burned throughout the state.

Some fires are inevitable and can even be used to manage growth in a way that helps mitigate more serious wildfires in the future. But when fires are caused by humans – whether intentionally or not – the consequences can be devastating, both for the environment and for a person facing criminal or civil charges for their behavior.

If you are facing charges for accidentally or intentionally starting a fire that caused damage to property or people, you need the help of a Milwaukee, Wisconsin criminal defense attorney. At Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP, we have helped clients fight serious criminal charges, including arson. We will fight for you, too.
