Criminal Law

Criminal law involves prosecution by the government for an act that has been deemed by local, state or federal law to be a crime. More serious crimes, such as homicides, rapes and assaults, are considered felonies. Less serious crimes, including petty theft, are misdemeanors. A finding of guilt by a judge or jury may result in prison time and or fines.
