Criminal Attorneys Hold a Piece of the Justice System in Their Hands?

Criminal law is the branch of the law that governs the individual's relationship to a state. Criminal offenses are established by state legislatures or by Congress. The term "criminal law" includes the criminal process and the rights of the accused, which include arrest, pleas, arraignment, discovery, pre-trial hearings, jury selection, trials, evidence, motions, and after trial remedies.The main purpose of criminal law is to enact punishment for crimes committed against the state, but those crimes must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt regardless of the severity of the act or acts. Crimes fall into two categories, felonies and misdemeanors, and both of those categories are defined by state and federal laws.Criminal attorneys impact social behavior by defending criminal accusations. An experienced criminal attorney has the power to change the direction of an individual's life. A knowledgeable lawyer who specializes in criminal intent can mean the difference between a prison sentence or a dismissal. The future of accused individuals rests in the techniques and the experience of the criminal attorney.Criminal lawyers are educated to defend rights of the accused and they are trained to presume that the accused is innocent until proven guilty. Protecting the rights of the accused throughout the legal process is the first priority so regardless of the alleged crime a competent criminal attorney can and usually does hold the outcome of a particular piece of the justice system in their hands.A Misdemeanor as well as a Felony Needs Representation from a Criminal LawyerMisdemeanor violations like petty theft, possession of a small amount of marijuana, certain traffic violations, and other violations which are usually punishable by a fine should be handled by a criminal attorney in most cases. Crimes like rape, murder, grand theft, and assault with a deadly weapon, almost always require the assistance of a criminal attorney in order to defend each case properly.Even though the evidence presented by law enforcement may seem to be enough to warrant a conviction a reputable criminal attorney has the ability and the knowledge to prove that the presented evidence is not enough for a conviction. Three elements must be clearly established for a conviction: a mental state, an act, and the intent to do social harm. If any one of those is not proven in court the criminal attorney has succeeded in reducing the punishment or dismissing the charges completely.Anyone who has been accused of committing a crime should contact a criminal attorney to help protect their rights under the law.
