What is Arson in Colorado?
Feb 27 2025
In Colorado, arson is more than just setting a fire—it’s a crime that can lead to life-altering consequences. Whether the act involves burning a building, vehicle, or even open land, the intent behind the fire determines the severity of the charges. A small fire set out of recklessness or even a misunderstanding of fire safety can land you in serious legal trouble. Whether it’s a prank gone wrong, an accident mistaken for intent, or an insurance fraud attempt, the penalties for arson can be life-altering.
If you’re facing arson allegations, an experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in building a strong case and protecting your future. Speak to our Colorado Springs, CO criminal defense attorneys at the Law Office of Andrew Bryant to learn how we can help you.
What Constitutes Arson in Colorado?
Under Colorado law, arson is defined as knowingly setting fire to, burning, or causing to be burned any property, whether it belongs to the accused or someone else. The key element of arson is the intent to cause damage or harm. Even if the fire does not result in significant damage, the act of intentionally starting a fire can lead to criminal charges.
Colorado categorizes arson into different degrees based on the severity of the crime, the type of property involved, and whether anyone was endangered or injured. The degrees of arson are as follows:
First-Degree Arson (C.R.S. 18-4-102)
The most serious arson charge, first-degree arson, occurs when someone knowingly sets fire to a building or occupied structure. An “occupied structure” refers to any building or vehicle that is designed for people to live, work, or gather in, whether or not it is currently occupied at the time of the fire.
Second-Degree Arson (C.R.S. 18-4-103)
This charge applies to setting fire on property that is not occupied, such as vacant buildings or forest land. Second-degree arson is a Class 4 felony in Colorado.
Third-Degree Arson (C.R.S. 18-4-104)
Third-degree arson involves recklessly setting fire to property, regardless of ownership. Unlike other degrees, intent to cause harm is not required.
Fourth-Degree Arson (C.R.S. 18-4-105)
Fourth-degree arson is charged when someone knowingly or recklessly starts a fire or causes an explosion that places another person or property in danger, even if no actual damage occurs. This charge is often applied in cases where a fire is started negligently or without proper precautions.
Penalties for Arson in Colorado
The severity of penalties depends on the degree of arson and whether lives or significant property were endangered:
- Felony Charges (First, Second, Third, and Fourth Degree if people/property are endangered):
- Prison sentence: 2 to 12 years
- Fines: Up to $750,000
- Mandatory parole: 3 to 5 years
- Enhanced penalties if injury, death, or explosives are involved
- Misdemeanor Charges (Third and Fourth Degree if minor damage or no endangerment):
- Jail sentence: Up to 120 days
- Fines: Up to $750

I came to Andrew Bryant last year after dealing with a chaotic separation. I had two children with my ex and she had made my life extremely difficult with communication, scheduling, doctor appointments, schooling and multiple other issues.
Heather took me as a client and immediately my life got easier, she communicated with my ex during the entire process and made sure everything went as smoothly … More as possible.
She was extremely professional and got me fully prepared for trial. She walked us through each step we were going to take during the trial and eased us through the entire situation.
By the end of the trial the judge removed all my child support obligations and gave me full 50/50 rights.
Since the case she has checked in with us multiple times and made sure everything is still running smoothly, which it is! The last 5 months since the trial have been so much easier dealing with my ex now that everything is set in stone.
We are very happy with all the work Heather and the the team at Andrew Bryant did for us!
10/10 would definitely recommend! -

If you want the best chance of winning your case, you need to work with this law firm.
When my divorce case began, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary—children were involved, along with the typical marital issues. But then, everything spiraled. The case turned into a whirlwind of police involvement, serious domestic allegations, and dramatic events I thought only happened in soap operas.
I was … More incredibly fortunate to have Mrs. Heather Atkinson take on my case, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation. Her exceptional preparedness, clear communication, and steadfast guidance gave me the confidence and strength I desperately needed to navigate a situation that ultimately expanded into two separate cases. From the very beginning, I knew Mrs. Atkinson and her team were the right choice to represent me in both.
What I witnessed in court was nothing short of masterful. Mrs. Atkinson demonstrated unparalleled expertise, cutting through the opposing counsel’s arguments with surgical precision. She had a well-thought-out strategy and executed it with both strength and grace.
The results speak for themselves. We won on every front. The success of the initial case was so impactful that the second case brought against me was completely dropped.
Divorce is a terrible process. It’s slow, emotionally taxing, and more expensive than anyone would like. Those aspects won’t change—but the outcome can.
If you want the best chance of success, choose this law firm. If you want representation that makes you feel truly prioritized, choose this law firm. If you want a strong, strategic, and prepared legal team to back you, choose this law firm. And if Mrs. Atkinson is available, I can say from personal experience that you will be in excellent hands.

Andrew Bryant and his firm were AMAZING!! This is the lawyer you want especially if you are a dad. He is tough and will absolutely fight for what is right for your child. He even gives you his own personal number so you can’t say that you couldn’t get ahold of him. He always responded back within minutes. Anytime that I hear someone going through a custody situation I recommend The Law Office of Andrew … More Bryant. He even won “The Best of the Springs” gazette this year. The one and only thing that I wanted this year, and for my life, Mr. Bryant made it happen. My life and my son’s life are better because of him taking the time to fight for us. Believe me, the consultation fee is worth it and he is extremely ethical. He tries not to use your retainer, whereas other lawyers will bill you without showing you what they did and they will try to use more of your retainer on purpose. Also this firm sends an itemized bill every week and it is awesome. Absolutely worth the price he charges, 1000%. Thank you Andrew and your team!!! I could never thank you enough!!

In a situation no parent wishes to find themselves, Catherine, Tiffany and her team professionally and successfully guided me through the tumultuous waters of what seemed to be a never-ending custody case. She gracefully and caringly supported me by showing empathy, and fought when necessary in the court room. She never backed down to other, heartless, less professional legal representatives. She was … More incredibly diligent in her study of case law and precedent, which provided us the strategic upper-hand at key points in our hearings.I am forever grateful to Catherine and Tiffany for all they did to give me and my daughter our safety and freedom back!

My experience with Andrew as my attorney is far beyond what I expected. There were times I found myself anxious as with any/most family cases can be nerve wracking but he continued to put my mind at ease throughout the process. Andrew had my back 100% of the time and for someone who trusts no one, I can say I trust this guy with everything. If you're looking for an attorney who is completely honest … More every step of the way - do yourself a favor and hire The Law Office of Andrew Bryant.

I hired Andrew Green to represent me on a very sensitive matter. From day one he and his paralegal Kristen made me feel comfortable and confident in the firm’s representation of me. They were both very professional, receptive, and always kept me well informed of what was to come. Please consider this law firm if you want someone in your corner who is going to fight very hard for you.

I would recommend The Law Office of Andrew Bryant to everyone. He really fought for our case to be dismissed and it was in just a couple of months. Something so serious that could have taken years for resolution was resolved and dismissed swiftly and quickly due to his persistence, expert knowledge, and passion for representing his clients to the best of his ability. I felt he really listened to us, … More instead of brushing off our concerns. Also, super important to us was communication, as these false accusations against us caused a lot of anxiety. He kept us in the loop the whole time.
-
Andrew is definitely one of the best at his job and all-around just a great individual. I hired Andrew in 2021 for a family law case. I called him in 2023 to see about a few concerns I had. He actually remembered who I was, so it was as if talking to an old friend. Not only did he answer my questions , but he was honest and I can fix my issue on my own. Other attorneys would have taken my money. He … More also helped me on another matter without charging another consult fee. He truly is the best. Whatever your need may be, I have the upmost faith Mr. Bryant will be not only able, but willing to help with 100% honesty.
-
Andrew is a great well connected and experienced lawyer. He was very helpful in taking my case I was accused of 2 crimes I didn’t commit and he was able to get the d.a to drop the charges. He is great at what he does and is confident in his skills would 100% recommend you to hire Andrew to take your case he will find you the easiest way out of Trouble.

Catherine Ford is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she is highly sensitive to the facts and circumstances surrounding my case. Her representation, guidance and support restored my faith in the family court system. If you're seeking legal help as a family law client, call Catherine, I promise you won't regret it! You won't get just a great attorney, you also get someone you can trust … More and know without a doubt, that is genuine & good at her job.

Words cannot express how grateful my family and I are for this man right here!! In March of 2022 my son and I walked into Mr. Bryant's office crying after leaving from a horrible consultation from a different attorney. My son was charged with 2 counts of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. Andrew Bryant took his time reviewing my sons case and said we had nothing to worry about. He was there … More with us every step of the way. He answered ALL of my calls and emails and always made me feel better. In June 2022 my sons cases were dismissed! I 100% recommend Mr. Bryant. He is now going to get my sons cases expunged! We love Andrew Bryant! May GOD bless him and his family.

My attorney Catherine Ford has gone above and beyond any other attorney I have used in a very convoluted, difficult post divorce and parenting time case. She is VERY responsive and actually listens! She advocates for what is right and is very honest with all she says, even if it's what I don't want to hear! Tiffany is her paralegal and is VERY responsive and communicative and organized in … More keeping me in the loop of all filings! I wish I would have found this firm years ago!!

Andrew Bryant represented me in the past, and provided me with very strategic representation. He was adept at navigating a complex and contentious family law matter involving an interstate UCCJEA jurisdiction dispute and a protection order. He knew how to handle my problematic and high-conflict ex. He doesn’t sugarcoat his advice - he will tell you what you need to hear. His pricing is also reasonable … More and he doesn’t nickel and dime you like some other attorneys do. I would highly recommend him if you need an attorney.

Catherine Ford is a breath of fresh air. Truly amazing person and attorney. I had to hire her bc I almost lost my daughter to the state due to my ex wife. She dropped what she was doing and listened truly listened. I gave her the detailes and asked her what her game plan would be. She came up with a comprehensive plan of action and executed it flawlessly. Not only did she listen to my wants and needs … More but she kept me ground ed through the whole court proceeding. When I stepped outta bounds trying to tell her things that needed to be done. She calmly reminded me that she knew what she was doing and that I needed to relax. She made sure every box was checked, t was crossed, and I was dotted. Her attention to detail is amazing and she cares about what is best for the children that are being dragged through legal proceedings. I had a previous attorney and Patricia perello and all she cared about was money and didn't deliver anything.BC of Catherineand Tiffany I have temporary custody of my daughter and she is thriving. I look forward to our continued partnership. She is also decently priced as far as attorney goes. When I brought up an issue with the billing her team was quick to work with me, explained everything and fixed it.I have gone through lawyers for years and bc I am a man nobody fought for me. They took money and didn't produce. They would tell me ohh well this is all you would get so let's do that. Ignoring everything I would ask for. My daughter suffered for years.Catherine Ford and Tiffany they are worth every single penny I can't recommend them enough. They will both fight tooth an nail for you.

I'm updating my review from a few years ago because I had to hire this office again when my ex took me back to court. Once against Andrew did an outstanding job and my ex told me he wished we never went back to court. Thank you!Positive
Professionalism …More -
Great team!

Conor and the rest of the staff were great in handling my case. I had to put forth very little effort myself and never saw a court room or even had to travel to their office. Just a couple of phone calls and emails and they successfully gave me a second chance with all of my American rights. Everybody I dealt with was friendly, professional and attentive. Also it only cost me half as much as I expected! … More I have already recommended to a couple of friends and would recommend the law office of Andrew Bryant to anyone!
-
I only leave feedback for great or horrible service. In this case, it's definitely for stupendous service by everyone at the Law Office of Andrew Bryant! I was assigned to Miss Erica (attorney) and Miss Debra (paralegal). They were extremely professional, knowledgeable of the legal system and it's laws. Miss Erica politely kept my expectations in check during my modification of custody and … More decision-making case. Miss Debra was always available when I needed and between her and Miss Erica, I always received responses to my inquiries within a reasonable time frame. They handled my case as if their own. I can't say enough positives about this firm and its staff. Oh, and did I mention how cost-effective they are? Don't waste time with comparisons to other firms. This is the firm you want top to bottom. I sincerely thank you Miss Erica, Miss Debra, and Mr Bryant for everything you did for me from legal guidance, support, professional, and most of all making me feel like family! I will always be indebted to your firm!

Very satisfied with the work done by Conor. Our previous attorney moved states, mid court and Conor did an incredible job taking over. He is responsive and very knowledgeable, not only with law but with how we needed to represent ourselves. I would highly recommend. I know every situation is not the same, but I believe we were able to get what we did because of Conor's help and guidance. A shout … More out to Andrea, as well, thank you for being so prompt and patient with us, especially when we misread dates on court forms.
-
My friend has a criminal case, so I went with her to see her attorney, Conor Stewertson, who works with this law office. The building is old architecture but renovated beautifully, keeping the integrity, design, and structure intact. Conor was friendly and fully informed of the details of the case. He is extremely knowledgeable of the law and was very straight forward when it came to her options. All … More in all I would give the experience 5 out of 5 stars. If you need a lawyer, give them a call.

And even when I don't get the exact results I want, I know that Erica has done her best in the matter. … More She works tirelessly for me, and I cannot say enough good things about her

Andrew Bryant and his team have been great to work with. Family law cases can be extremely difficult. Ours has been no different, and is still on going. Andrew has great communication skills and has made everything easier to deal with, given the ability to know what was going on with our case as well as being able to easily communicate with Andrew, and get answers to questions quickly. He is extremely … More articulate in court, has great written communication with us, and has taken the time to really listen to what we need to get across. He exercises great judgment and gives sound advice when asked. He and his team have great research skills and have put extensive time in for our case.

We wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Thank you Andrew for all of your hard work!

Andrew and his staff were top notch throughout my process. I have used other firms in the past that absolutely do not reach the level of service Andrew provides. Andrew is a quick, witty, personable, but most of all an informed professional with your best interest at the forefront. His attention to detail is second to none and his prowess within the court room left a life long impression.Most important … More for most of us, this was all done at what I see as more than reasonable when it came to dollar amounts.Should you be in a tough decision on what firm to choose I would recommend Andrew Bryant without hesitation.

I worked with Andrew regarding my divorce case and honestly didn’t look anywhere else after the initial free consultation.

Andrew is a very hard working, direct, and good attorney. He does everything you could reasonably ask, from promptly returning calls to making time to schedule a meeting if you need one. He helped me with stuff until the case is completely resolved, throughout the probation process not just up until the point that the court portion is taken care of.

Andrew is one of if not the most competent criminal attorney in Colorado Springs. And this is coming from a guy who's entire family is comprised of attorneys.
