Arson and Explosives

Former Cleveland arson prosecutor puts specialized fire and explosion knowledge to work for clients throughout Northern Ohio

Ohio arson cases are complex. Conviction can result in prison or jail sentences, fines, and restitution.

Prosecutors pursue arson claims armed with a team of attorneys, arson investigators and scientific experts. You deserve the same level of experience fighting for you as you face arson charges.

Cleveland Attorney Daniel M. Margolis served as an assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor and was a founding member of the county’s Arson Prosecution Unit.

Dan is a former firefighter with a great deal of experience in fire suppression. He was one of a select group of prosecutors nationwide to be sent to a school, Advanced Arson and Explosives for Prosecutors, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Dan has actively assisted arson investigators in the investigation of multiple arsons at crime scenes.
