What is Criminal Law?

Criminal law is separate from civil law and is the collection of rules that spell out types of conduct that are not allowed due to the fact that they threaten, harm or endanger the safety and welfare of others. Criminal law also involves actions that can jeopardize the rights of ownership and private property. Criminal law prescribes the various levels and kinds of punishments enacted upon those who break these rules, including misdemeanor and felony convictions.

Both misdemeanor and felony criminal convictions can greatly alter your life presently and in the future. While felony convictions are more serious, even a misdemeanor can affect your ability to get a job, credit and pass background checks. Any criminal charge should be taken seriously. Having an experienced attorney on your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
