Crimes against the person are criminal offenses that cause physical harm, bodily injury, or threat of violence to another individual. These crimes include assault, battery, homicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. Under both federal and common law, these offenses rank among the most serious offenses because they directly harm victims. At Hurwitz Law Group, we defend clients facing these severe criminal charges.
Many people ask, "What are misdemeanor charges?" In criminal law, a misdemeanor is a less serious crime that still carries legal consequences. These criminal offenses can include acts such as petty theft, disorderly conduct, or reckless driving. Even though these offenses usually involve shorter jail terms and smaller fines than more serious crimes, they can still affect a person’s criminal record, driver's license, and future opportunities.
Hurwitz Law Group helps you understand felony charges, protect your constitutional rights, and build a strong defense with an experienced California criminal defense attorney who understands how the prosecuting agency operates, so you can face the criminal justice system with confidence and fight for the best possible outcome.
