Criminal Defense
“I don’t make value judgments or moral judgments, I make legal judgments.
I ask the government to follow the law. If the facts and the law show that the case
should be dismissed, that’s what I ask the courts and government to do.”
-John Kannin
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.
