Criminal Law
Texas Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal law is the branch of law that deals with the government prosecution of an individual or a commercial enterprise for acts designated as crimes, and also covers the rights of the accused and the criminal process, including arrest, arraignment, grand juries, pleas, discovery, pretrial hearings, trials, jury selection, evidence, motions, and post-trial remedies.
Civil and criminal cases differ in that a civil lawsuit involves conflicts arising from breach of contract, personal injury accidents, debt collection or consumer rights, and has the objective of obtaining compensation or claiming rights. On the other hand, in a criminal case, either the State or Federal government files criminal charges, accusing an individual or business of a crime. Criminal law sets forth the penalties and punishments for conviction of a criminal act with punishment reflecting the severity of the crime, which may be a jail sentence or a combination of both fines and imprisonment.
