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 aggravated assaults, are considered felonies. Less serious crimes, including petty theft, are misdemeanors. A finding of guilt by a judge or jury can result in prison time and/or fines.
