CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN ORANGE COUNTY CA
If you are suspected of a crime or charged with a
violation of law, you may require the services of
a criminal defense attorney to present your
defense or negotiate a penalty. As different
rules and procedures exist for different
offenses, you should seek a criminal defense
attorney who has worked on your particular type
of case to provide you with the best defense.
An experienced criminal defense attorney knows
what information the government will need to
prove your guilt. The attorney will also know
what information you need to prove your
innocence, including whether there are any legal
rules justifying your actions.

CRIMINAL LAW
Criminal law is the body of law that relates
to crime. It proscribes conduct perceived as
threatening, harmful, or otherwise endangering to
the property, health, safety, and moral welfare
of people. Most criminal law is established by
statute, which is to say that the laws are
enacted by a legislature. It includes the
punishment of people who violate these laws.

CRIMINAL VS CIVIL LAW

• Criminal law varies according to jurisdiction,
  and differs from civil law, where emphasis is
  more on dispute resolution and victim
  compensation than on punishment. Criminal
  procedure is formalized official activity that
  authenticates the fact of commission of a crime
  and authorizes punitive treatment of the
  offender.
• These are at best core definitions they do not
  comprehend all legal systems, all stages in the
  development of a legal system, or all elements
  within a given legal system.
