Criminal Defense

Avvo Staff
Posted in Criminal Defense.

Although the U.S. Criminal Code defines criminal laws at the federal level, what constitutes a particular crime, and what the punishment for that crime is, varies from state to state. Drunk driving, fraud, drug possession, manslaughter, theft, assault, and domestic abuse are some examples of crimes that, depending on the situation, could result in execution, jail time, fines, or a declaration of innocence. If you have been charged with a crime, or think you may be charged with a crime in the future, you should contact a criminal defense attorney to help you present your defense or negotiate a penalty.
