Criminal law involves prosecution by the government of a person for an act that has been classified as a crime. In a criminal case the state, through a prosecutor, initiates the warrant for arrest in most felony cases and some misdemeanor cases. Misdemeanor warrants can be initiated by a person making a sworn statement before a Magistrate that a crime has occurred. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or both. In many adult and juvenile cases the Attorneys of Page & Associates can make the difference between an acquittal and a conviction. By applying the rules of evidence, making appropriate pre-trial motions, and being an effective advocate for our clients, we can substantial change a perceived outcome of a case. |
