are listed in the Best Lawyers Network.
What constitutes a crime varies according to federal, state and
local government. In criminal law a suit is filed on behalf of a
governmental agency for the prosecution of a criminal act. If a
person is convicted of a crime the result could be fines, incarceration
or both. There are two types of crimes, felonies and misdemeanors.
Felonies are the more serious crimes such as murder or rape while
misdemeanors tend to be less serious.
Most traffic tickets are considered to be criminal matters. Whether
it is a DUI or a speeding ticket the issue is dealt with in traffic
court where the “state” is the prosecutor. Similar to
a criminal case the result of a conviction can be jail time or fines.
Since a traffic offense is treated as a crime and not a civil matter,
criminal lawyers also handle traffic offenses.
