What is CRIMINAL LAW?

Criminal law, as distinguished from civil law, is a system of laws concerned with crimes and the punishment of individuals who commit crimes. Thus, where in a civil case two parties dispute their rights, a criminal prosecution involves the government deciding whether to punish an individual for either an act or an omission.

Practice Areas

Criminal Law

Our lawyers have been helping criminal defendants win their cases for over 19 years, and every attorney and staff member on our team are experienced and dedicated in the following respective fields :

  • Appeals Lawyers: A challenge to a previous legal determination. An appeal is directed towards a legal power higher than the power making the challenged determination. In most cases trial court determinations can be appealed in appeals courts, and appeals court decisions can be appealed in a supreme court.

  • Criminal Defense Lawyers: A criminal defense lawyer, is a lawyer (mostly barristers) specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal activity. Some criminal defense lawyers are privately retained, while others are employed by the various jurisdictions with criminal courts for appointment to represent indigent persons; the latter are generally called public defenders.
