Criminal law is a key area of legal practice that governs an individual’s relationship with the state and outlines the definitions and repercussions of criminal offenses. It encompasses not only the rights of the accused but also the entire criminal process. This includes arrest, pleas, discovery, pre-trial hearings, trials, the handling of evidence, motions, and post-trial remedies. The primary objective of criminal law is to define and administer punishment for criminal offenses.

To secure a conviction for any crime, prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused committed the criminal act with intent. At Roots-Law Firm, we specialize in providing robust defense for individuals accused of crimes, ranging from minor misdemeanors to complex felonies like murder.
