One of the main differences between criminal and civil law cases is that, in civil law, the plaintiff only needs to prove that a defendant is 51 percent or more liable for the damages. However, in criminal cases, the guilt must be “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

In many cases, criminal proceedings aren’t quite as black and white as they may seem. Since every case is full of nuanced layers of facts, it’s smart to retain a criminal defense attorney as soon as you realize you’re a suspect.

Unfortunately, many public defenders simply lack the extensive criminal law experience necessary to provide their clients with the best possible defense. If you need to ensure that you’ve got an experienced lawyer on your side, we’re here for you.

One of the most important criminal law cases in American history was Brown v. Board of Education. In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the 1896 decision that made segregation legal in the country. The court ruled that separate but equal between whites and blacks in the Topeka, Kansas school system was “inherently unequal.”

Did you know that crimes such as burglary within a state are covered by state criminal laws and are normally handled by local prosecutors?

There are certain conditions under which you can clear your record if you have been arrested or been to trial. Your attorney can tell you if you can sue for an expunction.

A plea of “no contest” (nolo contendere) is not an admission of guilt, but a statement that you do not contest the charges. However, it does empower the court to impose a sentence.

Although fingerprints can be a major part of a conviction, did you know that some people are born without any fingerprints? This extremely rare condition is caused by an inherited genetic condition which is also related to thickened skin on the palms and soles of the feet.

It’s a myth that you only need a criminal defense lawyer if you are not guilty. Experienced criminal lawyers can negotiate for reduced sentences that can be attractive to prosecutors because of the savings in both time and money.

If you have been charged with a crime, it is your constitutional right to have an attorney, and the criminal justice system is designed to ensure that everyone who passes through it receives the best representation possible. Do not deny yourself this guarantee.

An element of a crime, or element of an offense, is something that must be proven to convict a defendant of a crime.
