Re: attempted arson

If your uncle has been charged, the state will proceed with the charges even if your grandmother does not wish to press charges. I am unable to say more based upon the facts presented in the question.

It is clear, if your uncle has been charged, he needs an attorney. He may contact me through my website at TennesseeDefense.com to setup a telephone interview.
