Arson Charges In Pacoima Woman's Death

Los Angeles police arrested 37-year old John Herreres in connection with an arson fire that may have claimed the life of 65-year old Betty Olgivie. The fire department was called to the apartment building June 11 after the building manager noticed that smoke was seeping from underneath Olgivie's door. Firefighters entered the unit and discovered that the blaze had extinguished itself, but found the bodies of Olgivie and a small dog. Autopsy results were pending, but Herreres could face additional charges, including murder based on the coroner's findings.

If you've been arrested for arson or murder, you need an experienced, aggressive criminal defense attorney like Robert Michael Helfend. Mr. Helfend has practiced criminal defense exclusively for 25 years in Southern California courts and takes even the toughest cases.

A murder conviction can result in the death penalty, or life in prison with or without parole. Even conviction on a lesser offense, when coupled with California's three strikes law can put you behind bars for life.

In this situation, you need a criminal defense attorney who will fight aggressively for your rights and work to get charges reduced or dropped. Mr. Helfend is such an attorney. He has established a reputation for defending his clients throughout the judicial process.

Mr. Helfend works in Southern California and takes cases in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County and Ventura County. He also takes cases in federal courts.

Don't jeopardize your freedom and rights with an ineffective defense or an inexperienced attorney. Contact Robert Helfend today for a consultation on your case.
