Ryan Blanch, Attorney
Criminal Law are laws established by Congress and state legislators that make certain behavior among citizens illegal and punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. In order to be found guilty of a criminal law, the prosecution must prove that the defendant engaged in criminal activity that was intentional and deliberate.
To be found guilty in a criminal proceeding, the state must show beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty of the crime charged. Beyond a reasonable doubt is a difficult burden to meet. In a civil case the plaintiff must show by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is responsible for any damages. Numerically, a preponderance of the evidence is a showing of a 51% certainty that the defendant is responsible. Beyond a reasonable doubt requires a showing of guilt closer to 100%.

WHY HIRE A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER?
Any person who is facing a criminal charge, no matter how minor, will benefit from consulting a qualified criminal defense lawyer. Unlike civil court cases, where money or property may be at stake, a person suspected of committing a criminal act is in jeopardy of losing their fundamental freedom. Act quickly to protect your rights by contacting an experienced criminal defense attorney. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can identify important pretrial issues and bring appropriate motions which might significantly improve a defendant's case.
Unlike civil law, which involves private law suits between two or more private entities, criminal law involves defendants who are being prosecuted by the state or federal government. Criminal defense Attorney Ryan Blanch represents individuals who are being prosecuted by the State of New York for an act that has been classified as a crime. Crimes are generally classified as:
- Misdemeanors - less serious offenses that are normally punishable by a fine like some traffic violations, petty theft cases or possession of a small amount of marijuana, or
- Felonies - more serious offenses that warrant imprisonment of one or more years, such as rape, grand theft, assault with a deadly weapon or homicide/murder.
Another important distinction between civil law and criminal law is
the standard of proof that is required by the law. In order to
prevail in a civil case, the plaintiff must demonstrate by 51% that
the defendant is responsible for the plaintiff's injuries. In
criminal law, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that the person charged with the crime actually committed the
crime. This standard is much higher than the civil standard, and
requires the skilled legal representation of a qualified criminal
defense attorney to fight for a defendant's exoneration.
