Criminal Defense

While most people don’t think that they will ever find themselves in need of a criminal defense lawyer, there are certain matters that very well may put you in that exact situation. Criminal defense lawyers defend citizen accused of DUI and drunk driving cases, DMV matters or felonies or misdemeanors. If you have suddenly been accused of a felony, protecting your rights and the feeling of fearing for your freedom may be overwhelming.

A crime, by definition, is “any act or omission (of an act) in violation of a public law forbidding or commanding it.” Criminal law differs from civil law in so far, as a prosecutor initiates the suit, while the victim brings forth the suit in civil cases. At the same time, people accused of crimes have to anticipate fines and incarceration and this is the consequence that convicted criminals are most afraid of.

Felonies, in most cases, result in imprisonment of more than one year. Misdemeanors have less prison time as a consequence, but in either case, your freedom is at stake. At this point, it is best to consult an experienced criminal defense attorney, who does not only understand your overwhelming situation, but also puts forth the efforts needed to secure your freedom.

It is important to understand that a crime is a very serious charge. Depending of the nature of the case, the party that put forth the suit will most likely be represented by a lawyer as well and, assuming that you are not an attorney yourself, you won’t be able to stand a chance during the trial.
