Criminal Defense

Criminal acts are defined as offenses against the public order that violate a specific criminal statute. The federal government - along with cities and states - prosecutes people who commit crimes that range from minor traffic violations to violent offenses such as rape and murder. The person charged with a crime - the defendant - is represented by a criminal defense attorney. The lawyer who represents the governmental body pursuing charges against the defendant is called a prosecutor.

A crime committed in the State of Washington is classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony. The penalty imposed when a person is convicted of a crime depends on the type of crime and whether the individual has a prior criminal record.

If you are charged with a crime in the Seattle area, you need the legal counsel of an experienced criminal defense attorney. Remember, the prosecutor has all the resources of the government arrayed against you. In order to protect your rights you need a defense attorney who will fight for you.
